Commercial Concrete-Encased Catch Basins

Protect Your Drainage System. Prevent Pavement Failure. Ensure Long-Term Stability.

Catch basins are essential for managing surface water runoff on commercial properties—but without proper support, they can sink, shift, or cause pavement collapse. Total Paving & Brick Services installs and repairs concrete-encased catch basins to protect your drainage infrastructure and surrounding pavement from structural failure, heavy traffic, and seasonal movement.

What Is a Concrete-Encased Catch Basin?

A concrete-encased catch basin is a stormwater inlet that collects surface runoff and channels it into the underground drainage system. The basin is surrounded by poured concrete, creating a stable structure that resists settlement, prevents shifting, and supports heavy vehicular loads—especially important in parking lots, loading areas, and drive lanes.

Without proper concrete reinforcement, catch basins often fail prematurely, leading to sunken grates, standing water, and damaged pavement.

Why Choose Total Paving?

  • Heavy-Duty Installation – Our encasements are engineered to support traffic and prevent long-term settlement
  • Extended Drainage Life – Protects your stormwater system from early failure or costly repairs
  • Full Surface Integration – We restore surrounding asphalt or concrete with proper grading and jointing
  • Reliable Inspections – We evaluate basin condition, frame stability, and drainage performance
  • Cost-Effective Repairs – We offer both new installations and encasement retrofits for failing catch basins

What’s Included in Our Catch Basin Encasement Service

Whether we’re installing a new basin or reinforcing an existing one, our process typically includes:

  • Site excavation and removal of surrounding pavement
  • Inspection and re-setting of the basin structure as needed
  • Pouring of concrete encasement around the basin, to engineered depth and thickness
  • Grading adjustments for surface drainage
  • Full restoration of surrounding pavement (asphalt or concrete)
  • Optional frame and grate replacement if damaged or outdated

We ensure each installation is built to meet local code, withstand freeze-thaw cycles, and perform reliably under repeated load.
