Daylighting or “Soft Digging” Preferred by Lower Mainland Contractors and Property Managers

Hydro excavation or sometimes referred to as daylighting or “pot holing” combines two very powerful forces to expose and remove dirt and debris. It brings together high-pressurized water to disrupt debris and then sucks away the fallout with an industrial strength vacuum. The net result is an area devoid of all unwanted debris in a relatively brief period of time.

If you’re a building, plumbing or landscaping contractor, you may need hydro excavation for landscaping purposes or exposingsensitive utilities. In either scenario, hydro excavation is an especially beneficial method because it runs little risk of leaving any real damage behind. The process, unlike using a backhoe, is non-mechanic and also non-destructive.

Hydro excavation and flushing services are especially helpful for construction, as they save so much time, and money, compared with conventional forms of mechanical digging. Hydro excavation is the perfect solution for trenching and remote digging where fibre optic cable might need to be laid.

Lower Mainland’s Wet Season a Reminder to Inspect and Clean Your Catch Basins

The abundance of rain that the lower mainland receives this time of year is a good reminder for you to do your part to minimize potential flooding by getting catch basins inspected and cleaned on a regular basis.

Over time, the ability of catch basins to do their job deteriorates from the elements. Debris including organic waste, pieces of asphalt or concrete and other particulate matter contribute to restricting the flow. Eventually the flow stops, and then you have a big problem.

The catch basins lead to the storm main lines. This is your defence against flooding. The catch basins are there to trap sand, silt and debris, preventing it from getting into the storm main lines. Regular maintenance can ensure that the buildup of debris in the catch basins is never great enough to block the flow of water.

A call to EdenFlo Pump Truck Services to inspect your catch basins is now more important than ever. If your catch basins do require service, we have the right equipment to do the job including special “Lowboy” vacuum pump trucks that fit into lower spaces, like underground parking garages.

It’s Still Dry in the Lower Mainland – Do I Need to Worry About my Catch Basin?

It’s been a dry summer and fall on the lower mainland. Dry conditions mean debris has less moisture content. Dry debris that has accumulated in your catch basins may still allow for a reasonable flow of wastewater through the system, but one big rain could change the picture.

It’s been a dry fall. Your catch basin still needs cleaning

Once that fall debris of leaves and twigs gains moisture, it will expand and spell trouble for your catch basins. If you haven’t scheduled your seasonal catch basin cleaning, now is the time to book! Don’t wait until soggy leaves are clogging your drains and you wind up in a bad situation.

Your parking lot, underground parkade and basement are suspect to drainage issues if debris is allowed to accumulate in the system. The EdenFlo team can easily and efficiently clean your catch basins using one of our many pieces of specialized vacuum equipment that allows us to get at even the most challenging drains.

Fall Twigs and Leaves Contribute to Catch Basin Back Ups in the Fall.

Fall brings cooler weather, rain and the inevitable shedding of leaves. These leaves and other seasonal debris collect on the ground and eventually are transported to catch basins. Leaves and branches that collect around and in the catch basin become sticky and start to break, while attracting other debris that leads to accumulation of debris. Once this accumulation begins, it spells trouble for catch basin drainage.

This is where the experts at EdenFlo come in. At a minimum, your catch basin should be serviced at least once a year. Whether your drain is in the middle of a surface parking lot, or in the basement of an underground parkade, a clogged catch basin can be a huge inconvenience.

6 Hydrovac Excavation Applications

The Experts at EdenFlo are well trained on a variety of applications for Hydrovac Excavation. If you are a contractor and looking to subcontract any of the following, give EdenFlo Pump Truck services a call.

Potholing / Daylighting

If you need to expose underground utilities, hydrovac excavation should be your preferred option. The process gains access without damaging any of the assets.

Debris/ Soil Removal

You may have a project where there is a build up of debris and or soil. Hydro excavation can clean areas without affecting existing infrastructure. It can be used to clean catch basins and drainage structures.

Confined or Small Space

Downtown streets are sometimes narrow, creating challenges to excavate and expose conduit or pipes. Even residential backyards are challenging to get at. Hydrovac service can work hundreds of feet away, allowing the vacuum truck to park away from the congestion.

Slot Trenching

If you need trenches dug, Hydrovac excavation is the best to use as it distributes less soil than a backhoe.

Cold Weather Excavation

Although we don’t get there that often in the lower mainland, freezing conditions can cause excavation issues. Using hydrovac techniques, frozen soil is mixed with warm water and the “slurry” is vacuumed up by the vacuum truck. This is a very effective method to expose assets

Pole Setting

If you have a need to dig a number of holes for fence posts or poles, hydrovac excavation is the best way to get this job done. It’s fast and the remaining debris from the excavation is quickly removed by the EdenFlo experts.

If you’re a contractor and you need to expose assets for inspection or repairs, or have a specialized dig, we have the equipment and experts to do the job right. We service most of 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!

What’s Safer to Expose Underground Assets? Hydro Excavation or Backhoe?

Hydro Excavation is considered to be extremely safe, both to expose underground assets as well as for the safety of team members working on the job site. Hydrovacing uses pressurized water to break up the dirt that is packed around the underground structures. The soil mixes with the water and the “slurry” mix is sucked up by a vacuum and stored in the hydrovac truck for safe disposal at a later time.

Compare this to using a backhoe or other mechanized equipment and the risk of damage to assets increases dramatically. Even the best backhoe operators know that their shovels can scrape and damage exposed pipes and conduit. Skilled hydrovac team members at EdenFlo can be very precise, directing high pressure water through a water-jet nozzle at exactly the right area to loosen soil and gently expose what you need to get at.

If you’re a contractor and have a daylighting or trenching requirement for inspection or repairs, or have a specialized dig, we have the equipment and experts to do the job right.
