Water damage restoration — Mill Creek, WA
whose catch basin is it?
This is the question that catches Mill Creek homeowners out, and the city answers it plainly.
Call (425) 380-0446 · Answered 24/7The city cleans and maintains catch basins in the public right-of-way. Catch basins on private property are the property owner's to maintain and repair. Where a catch basin sits in a back garden inside a neighbourhood association's area, the association is responsible for it.
Given how much of Mill Creek is association-managed, that means a blocked drain causing water in a garage may be nobody's at the city — it may be yours, or your association's. It is worth knowing before the water arrives rather than during.

- Water is pooling near a drain on my property and not going anywhere.
- If that drain is on private land it is likely yours or your association's to clear. Either way, water reaching the building needs dealing with first.
- Do you work with property managers and associations?
- Yes. Documentation for insurers and managers is part of the job.
