Merry Christmas from Drainage Solutions

This Christmas season, we are grateful for you. Thank you for sticking with us during what has undoubtedly been the most unique of all the years we’ve been in business.  2020 has also been our most successful yet, which is both wonderful and…strange, somehow. 

Our goal, always, is to provide you with the products you need and to get them to you in a manner that is timely and professional.  We’re always striving to raise that particular bar, so please let us know how we can improve.  We want to be the place you turn to for the everyday and the out of the ordinary items.  We want you to depend on us for product knowledge and fair market prices.  We want you to trust us to treat you as we want to be treated – with every transaction.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to do our best.  We wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years.

 

CATCH BASINS

Capture Stormwater
A Catch Basin is a durable drainage structure with a grate that fits securely on top.  The basin is used to capture surface runoff and send it to an underground pipe system.
Catch Basin with Black Plastic Grate
The sump, the interior portion of basin that sits below the pipeline, is designed to collect debris from the diverted surface water.  The sump functions to minimalize the amount of leaves, mulch, and other trash from entering the pipeline and causing clogs. 

Clogs within the basin itself can be diminished by use of a Catch Basin Filter, which can be installed under the grate to capture debris before it can enter the structure.
Catch Basin Filter for 9” & 12” Square Basins
Square NDS Catch Basin models come in 9, 12, 18 and 24” sizes with a multitude of possibilities for inlet/outlet openings.  Grates are made in Brass; Cast Iron; Galvanized Metal; Plastic; and Steel.  The huge variety of style options let you decide if your finished project will blend beautifully into the landscape or stand out as a work of art.

6” round NDS Spee-D basins have single, double, triple and 4 way outlet configurations. A host of grate choices in several colors, designs and materials vary from atrium to flat designs for Spee-D Basins.

The Community Alliance of the Far Eastside, or CAFE, is an Indianapolis nonprofit organization with an important mission: to provide programs and services that help residents in their community have a better quality of life.  At the Community Center at 8902 East 38th Street, clients can meet with a financial coach, a career navigator, or learn more about workforce development. 

There are ESL classes, GED certification prep classes, and more.

Early childhood education is part of the excellent childcare program which is housed at CAFE.

Teens attend programs designed just for them.  Those include meditation, yoga, and YES, or Youth Education Services, which trains them for leadership. 

Job loss and financial insecurity due to COVID-19 has increased the stress of making ends meet for many families in the area. The people of the CAFE have stepped up to help with weekly Food Distribution events. Housing and utility assistance may also be available for those who need them.   
 

CAFE’s CEO, Michael Howe, has been quoted as saying that this nonprofit serves nearly 3,000 people per year.  He went on to say that, "I think CAFE's No. 1 need, obviously beyond financial support, is volunteers and individuals who want to come in and provide service to our community. I think advocacy, if people understand that there's systematic oppression on this side of town, and helping people understand that their gift and their volunteerism could really help this area, that's probably our biggest need."

If you’d like to support this organization with funds, equipment or by volunteering, call CAFE at 317-890-3288 or visit cafeindy.org
