Commercial Catch Basin & Storm Drain Cleaning

Klean Lots cleans catch basins and storm structures across King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Thurston County, removing accumulated sediment and debris with vactor equipment and hauling the material to approved disposal. Call (253) 410-0159.

The same vactor equipment used for hydro excavation cleans a catch basin full of sediment, clears a plugged storm line, or vacuums the corner of a site that no sweeper can physically reach. Klean Lots handles the cleaning, hauling, disposal, and pavement sweeping that follow.

Catch Basin Cleaning: common questions

How do I know when a catch basin needs cleaning?

Most jurisdictions expect inspection at least annually and cleaning when sediment reaches a defined depth in the sump. Properties with heavy truck traffic, nearby construction, or lots of tree cover fill up faster and need more frequent service.

Do you clean commercial and construction-site catch basins?

Yes. We provide catch basin and storm structure cleaning for property owners, municipalities, and construction sites throughout King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Thurston County.

What happens to the material removed from the basin?

We collect it in the vacuum unit and haul it for appropriate disposal. Tell us before the job if the basin may contain fuel, chemicals, or other contaminated material because that changes the handling and disposal plan.

Can you sweep the lot at the same time?

Yes. Pairing catch basin cleaning with parking lot or street sweeping removes the material feeding the drains and keeps the cleaned structures from filling right back up.
