In this quick video, I will share the important truth about catch basins. Catch basins are a good choice to help catch water but it has to be connected to a pipe and discharged to another location.

I installed catch basins in my yard and all my water goes to the street now. Best thing I could have done. Lots of people forget to clean them though. Great video!

Great tip! I installed 3 and they're working very well! I may dig 1 out and I stall a bigger box to catch and hold more water but that's a project for down the road! 😂

Tip I like to do is to dig out 4-5 inches additional under catch basin and fill with drainage rock pack it down and wrap with geotextile fabric. This way it keeps your basin from dropping, better drainage instead of draining into clay or dirt and keeps debris from coming up into holes you drilled in bottom of catch basin.

Great point. I only went about 3 inches deeper. The basins are sitting on about 3 inches of gravel which is pretty close to what you suggested but I didn't wrap it with any fabric.

Why not use french drains instead of solid pipe?

I really considered this but was worried about water dispersing close to the patio and pool deck. I probably could have done it with no problems.
