The need for catch-basin cleaning
Catch basins are openings for storm drain systems that catch sediments and debris through a curb, grate or sump. Catch basins stop trash from making their way into the drainage system while also to protecting the quality of the water by filtering out pollutants. Catch basins need regular cleaning and maintenance in order to ensure proper drainage. Sediment and debris that accumulates in the sump areas should be removed to allow free passage for water. Catch basins that are full of sediment and debris block the entrance to drainage systems and sewers. Other than to stop blockages, maintenance of catch basins is also important in order to prevent pollutants from entering sewers. This makes Catch basin cleaning a crucial and regular practice as pollutants that are allowed into sewers as a result of neglect are inevitably discharged into streams, waterways and lakes. Moreover, inadequate maintenance of catch basins causes accumulation of water in parking ways and along streets.

How frequently should Catch Basins Be Cleaned?
How frequently catch basins should be cleaned varies from area to area. Typically, catch basins should be cleaned once every year to ensure that they are at their best. However, if you reside in an area that has higher levels of pollution, you should ensure that cleaning is done on a more frequent basis. This is because polluted cities have higher discharge of trash, waste and debris all of which can easily find their way into sewers and drainage pipes. It is therefore necessary to remove sediments and trash accumulated in sumps with our catch basin cleaning service.
Some ways to ensure clean catch basins
Catch cleaning services may only be required once a year if these preventive measures are followed religiously:
- When clearing sidewalks or driveways, dispose of debris and waste material properly using trash receptacles rather than sweeping it down gutters and catch basins.
- Remove debris and leaves immediately whenever you see such waste material blocking catch basins around your business or house
- Try to keep catch basins open during winters as snow mostly blocks them.
