Catch Basins Need Cleaning and Simple Preventive Maintenance to Function Well

If you are a property manager, and want to minimize surprises regarding your drainage infrastructure, these 4 steps will help to set you up for success.

    1. Be on the lookout for potential problems with the catch basins or drains on properties under your management. Trouble may come in the form of water pooling around the basin, slow draining, or debris covering the grate. 
    2. A preventive strategy to keep storm drains (catch basins) from clogging is the most effective method to protect your real estate. If you see debris on top of the grate, safely remove it.  A reminder to never attempt to remove the storm grate yourself, only the debris on top. Call the pros at EdenFlo if further action is required.
    3. If you see a catch basin that is not draining correctly on a well-used parking lot, or a blind corner in your underground parkade, do not attempt to clear it yourself. Instead, contact the experts at EdenFlo to manage the situation with safety first in mind.
    4. Have EdenFlo assess your catch basin cleaning needs to help you to be the most efficient with your maintenance spend.  Chances are, routine scheduled cleaning will eliminate all but the most unpredictable emergencies.

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. 

Fall Debris Can Lead to Catch Basin Issues

Debris from fall leaves and storms are a main cause of catch basin drainage issues.  Try to remove excess  debris from the grate. If you notice buildup that you can’t get to, call the experts at EdenFlo Pump Truck Services to clean out your catch basin to ensure that drainage continues to flow smoothly and efficiently.

If you ignore signs of trouble like the buildup of fall debris on your catch basin grate, you will most likely have an issue with drainage during the next heavy rains.  Now is the time to call the experts at EdenFlo Pump Truck Service to get your catch basins cleaned.  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.

Another Reason to Set Up a Regular Catch Basin Cleaning Schedule

 PumpYour drainage system is an important part of your property’s infrastructure.  In order to maintain your system properly, regular catch basin cleaning is a must.  Without regular cleaning, backups will happen and can lead to deterioration of the catch basin which can lead to expensive repairs.

 

Regular catch basin cleaning will save you money by increasing the lifespan of your catch basin drainage system.  Replacing an entire catch basin is expensive and takes time.  

Don’t fall into the trap of reacting to drainage issues.  Put catch basin issues out of your mind by setting up a regular schedule for cleaning through the experts at Edenflo.
