What is a catch basin?
A grated box at a low point, with a sump below the outlet that traps silt and leaves.
When do you need a catch basin in Layton?
It is the answer for a defined low spot that collects. It also makes a system serviceable, because the basin is where debris is meant to arrive.
What drives the cost of a catch basin in Layton?
How deep the outlet sits, how much pipe leaves the basin, and whether the grate has to take a car. A basin in a lawn and one in a drive are the same box with different lids. The prices are not close.
When a catch basin is the wrong fix
A dip that fills once a year after a freak storm rarely earns a basin and a buried run. Grading the dish out of the ground is often cheaper. It also leaves nothing to clean out later.

A catch basin cannot be priced from a description. Three things decide it. What the ground does with water. How much fall the site has. Where the water may go at the end. All three are facts about an address, and none of them show up in a photograph. Send the address and what you are seeing. One contractor who works in Layton takes it from there. If it turns out to be a different job than this one, that is worth hearing before the digging.

Questions people actually ask
Does a French drain fix water in a Layton basement?
Sometimes. Often the cause is a downspout, and a downspout should discharge at least 6 feet from the wall. Moving it costs a small fraction of a drain. A drain is the answer when water has nowhere to go, not when it is simply aimed at the wall.
When can a drain be dug in Davis County?
Frozen ground stops the work. The usual window runs about 8 months, opening once the frost is out and closing when it returns. Book about 6 weeks ahead inside that window.
How long does the work take?
Most residential runs take 1 to 3 days. Add a day when a machine cannot reach the back yard.
Who pulls the permit?
The trade doing the work pulls it in their own name, and it comes from Davis County rather than from city hall in many cases. Expect 1 inspection on a residential trench, and ask to see the permit before the first cut.
