What sizes do catch basins come in?

Are catch basins effective?
Catch basins help maintain proper drainage and catch debris, which helps prevent pipes downstream from becoming clogged. Water and solids enter the box through the grate. Solids settle to the bottom while water drains out of the pipe.
How deep should a catch basin be?
Make sure that the depth of the hole is 6-12 inches deeper than the depth of the catch basin, as you’ll need that space later on. Dig a gradually declining trench 8-inches wide and 18-inches deep from the catch basin to a safe place for the water to run; this is where you’ll be placing the piping.
Does a French drain need an exit?
Short answer to the title of “Where should french drain terminate?” is that, ideally, the french drain will terminate to an above-ground exit on the side of a hill or at least a downwards slope, so that the water that was in the drain can escape to get into the place that normal surface runoff goes from the property.
How much does it cost to install a catch basin?
A concrete catch basin costs $2,000 to $5,000 for installation. That price includes all connections and complete installation. You won’t often find a catch basin on residential property newer than 1960.
Where do you put a catch basin?
If the starting location is near a drainpipe, the catch basin will be located about 12 to 18 inches from the foundation, depending on the size of the catch basin. The end of the run should be at least 10 feet away on a decline and farther for flat ground. Move the water as far away from the foundation as possible.
How often should a catch basin be cleaned?
yearly
A good rule of thumb is to have your catch basins cleaned on a yearly basis. That being stated, if you own or operate a business that dumps water and debris into the catch basins on a regular basis, you should have them cleaned more frequently.

What does a 9×9 catch basin do?
