Atmospheric River Causes Big Drainage Issues

We are known for rain on the lower mainland, but when an atmospheric river descends on the region, even the most hearty feel a bit overwhelmed.  The event last week caused creeks to swell and pick up wood debris and gravel that blocked culverts, catch basins and drainage channels.  The resulting flooding created many challenges for Vancouver and surrounding areas.
 
Even well maintained catch basin systems can be compromised by mother nature.  When it happens to your parking lot or underground parkade, give the experts at Edenflo Pump Truck Service a call.  Our extensive fleet of vacuum trucks and other equipment means that we can respond quicker and take care of your catch basin issues.

As Rain and Wind Events Become More Intense, Your Catch Basins Need Attention

It’s no secret that our climate on the lower mainland is changing, with our rain and wind events becoming more intense.  A steady rain is usually no problem for a catch basin or drainage system, but an intense rain event that dumps a large amount of precipitation will overwhelm catch basins that may be partially blocked due to sporadic servicing.
Intense wind will move more debris in less time into lower areas – including your drainage system. This will create a blockage in your catch basin, that when the rains come will result in flooding.
Getting to a flooded catch basin can be incredibly difficult after an intense storm.  Invariably customers and pedestrians will be inconvenienced by parking lots and or road closures.
Do what you can to mitigate the risk of catch basin issues by calling the experts at Edenflo Pump Truck Service to set up a  scheduled maintenance program of your catch basins.  They offer the best vacuum pump truck service on the lower mainland and have one of the most extensive fleets of equipment to get your catch basins back in shape.  Edenflo Pump Truck Service  services the lower mainland including Vancouver, Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Surrey, Langley, Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, Delta, White Rock, Anmore and even Lions Bay! Call us at 604 575 1414 or fill out our online request  and we’ll be happy to assist you.
