Burien replace broken catch basin
Homeowner’s Issue
In Burien, heavy winter rains, clay and compacted soils, and modest slopes toward driveways or sidewalks often send water pooling where you don’t want it. Broken or clogged catch basins mean standing water, soggy lawns, moss and muddy patches, and extra wear on foundations and walkways. Many homes near Seahurst Park or Boulevard Park have older drainage that wasn’t designed for today’s rainfall patterns or the compaction from heavy equipment and compacted terraces.
Homeowners and landlords want practical fixes that last, don’t require constant attention, and fit a modest budget. We focus on sustainable approaches — no herbicides — to restore proper flow, protect plants, and cut down on repeated visits. Addressing a broken catch basin early keeps renters safer, preserves curb appeal, and prevents small issues from becoming costly repairs.

Before & After / Expectations
