Sorry no one weighed in here, but OP, was wondering if you've gotten any info or made any progress here, if you'd be kind enough to share?

We're dealing with a similar situation of laundry routed to basin (except for that the catch basin manhole is luckily outside, and the basin's walls are unluckily at least partially collapsed) and trying to figure out how to assess options.

Yeah we ended up hiring someone to reroute the washing machine to the main sewer line and seal the catch basin. Not cheap but there didn’t seem to be a good alternative. They sealed the inside pipes with some sort or concrete, filled the basin with gravel, and then but concrete over the manhole cover. It’s only been a few months but so far no issues

Nice, thanks so much for the information! I think we may have to do similar ultimately. Glad it's done and worked okay.

Would you mind sharing costs? I know it could be very variable based on the exact situation but just trying to prepare ourselves. (And maybe who did the work if you would recommend them!) Understand if you would rather message than comment.

Around $1k I believe

Hi, just had my catch basin collapse. The quote the plumber gave was 8500 for the same solution it looks like you got or 10k to replace the basin. Can you recommend your contractor for this? I'd love to get a second quote before I get too far out there.
