Storm Drains, Catch Basins & Downspout Lines, Done Right
Catch basins gather water at low points, and pipe carries it to an outlet. We size pipe for the flow, set grades so it runs, build structures to the plan and backfill and compact so the lines do not settle.
On commercial sites, we install storm lines, inlets and detention to the civil plans and coordinate with inspectors.
Music City Excavation brings storm drains, catch basins & downspout lines to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Questions About Storm Drains, Catch Basins & Downspout Lines
Still have a question?
How do you size storm pipe?
We follow your plans on engineered projects. On residential jobs we size by roof and yard area and the slope available, and explain our reasoning.
Can I connect to the street storm drain?
Sometimes, with permission. Rules differ by city. We help you find out what is allowed.
How do I keep a catch basin from clogging?
Keeping the grate clear of leaves and checking the basin each season helps most. We can show you how.
