Slightly Dryer Conditions Towards for Early April Perfect for Catch Basin Cleaning

Many residents of the lower mainland look at the Farmer’s Almanac to provide clues to future weather patterns.  The Almanac predicts that Vancouver and the surrounding area will be slightly dryer towards the end of March and early April – which would be perfect timing to get your catch basins cleaned.  Your catch basins have worked hard all winter to drain runoff during the coldest and wettest part of the year. The  build-up of debris and organic matter that has accumulated over the last months, makes this upcoming dryer break the ideal time to have your catch basins cleaned by the experts at EdenFlo Pump Truck Services.

Many property managers have regularly scheduled maintenance of their catch basins to ensure that run off at any time of year will flow freely, allowing the system to work as intended.

According to the Almanac, the dryer break may not last too long, as slightly above average rainfall is expected later in April. It would be a shame if the winter debris coupled with more rain in April causes back up and flooding events in your catch basin and storm drain systems.

Catch Basins in Underground Garages Could be a Problem in Waiting…

Out of sight, out of mind. This is always the case when it comes to cleaning drains and catch basins in your underground garage.  Debris may be lurking in your drains but not completely stop the flow of water.  One shift in the debris could be the difference between a catch basin back up resulting in the closure of your garage.

A Property manager with a parking lot or underground garage closing will mean lost parking revenue and inconvenienced customers. Depending on the blockage, water could rise and could find its way into cracks in the floor and walls, which could lead to costly repairs.

Regular scheduled maintenance on your below ground parking garage will prevent a disaster. EdenFlo Pump Truck Service offers one of the most diverse fleets of vacuum pump trucks including “Low Boy” vacuum trucks that are specifically designed to access underground space with low ceiling clearance.

Catch Basins Need Extra Attention in Fall

As the leaves begin to fall in earnest, your catch basins will be more susceptible to drainage issues. Solids and debris that have collected in the catch basin will now have the added pressure of fall leaves to deal with.  At the very least, make sure that you are removing debris from the grate. A better course of action is 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 services  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.

Warmer Weather and Less Rain Means Catch Basin Cleaning Time is Now

Warmer Weather and Less Rain Means Catch Basin Cleaning Time is Now.

 Less rain this year may give a false sense of security as to the need to clean your catch basins.

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 waste water through the system, but one big rain could change the picture.

Once the debris of organic material 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 rain soaks debris and clogs 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.

Spring is a Good Time to Clean your Catch Basins

Usually, there is a significant build-up of debris and organic matter that has accumulated over the last months, making spring the ideal time to have your catch basins cleaned by the experts at EdenFlo Pump Truck Services.

Many property managers have regularly scheduled maintenance of their catch basins to ensure that run off at any time of year will flow freely, allowing the system to work as intended.

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.
