Changing Climate Suggests More Pros Than Cons for Preventative Catch Basin Cleaning

The effects of climate change on the lower mainland have become even more acute in the past couple of years. 

Rain events are becoming much more intense and drought has now become part of the conversation. If you are a property manager or you own a commercial property that has a surface drain or you own a property with underground parking with multiple catch basins, it’s now even more important that you weigh the pros and cons of implementing preventative catch basin maintenance.

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.

Wherever your low clearance catch basin cleaning challenge is, EdenFlo  has 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! Call us at 604 575 1414 or fill out our online request  and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Cost Conscious Customers Choose Hydro Excavation Over Backhoe

Smart lower mainland property managers, and contractors will always look to a hydrovac excavation  solution rather than backhoe when looking to  expose underground assets.

Hydro excavation usually involves a much smaller crew than traditional excavation such as a backhoe and can be done quicker which will result in cost savings. Hydro excavation tends to be less risky, which reduces liability and potential issues involving clean up on adjacent properties.

Whether your needs are daylighting to expose assets for inspection or repairs, trenching, or specialized digging, 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! Call us at 604 575 1414 or fill out our online request  and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Hydro Excavation Perfect Option for Small or Sensitive Work Area

Many of our contractor and property manager clients require hydro vac service to expose underground assets in very confined spaces. They have moved away from mechanical digging options like backhoes, because there is no place to put the dirt that is removed from excavation.  Bigger projects often end up with large piles of dirt blocking the road or hindering the construction area. Edenflo’s hydro excavation equipment pulls the dirt straight into a storage tank, which not only speeds up the process but also limits the disruption to surrounding areas.  Edenflo also has one of the most diverse fleets of equipment that allows  daylighting work to be done in even the most challenging space.

Besides Being Less Expensive, Hydro Excavation is also Better for the Environment

Today, we are all concerned about the environment.  Lower mainland contractors and property managers are no different. It’s no wonder that most are moving to HydroVac Service rather than backhoe to expose underground assets. Hydro excavation is less invasive and more precise, making it less harmful to the environment. Because the footprint is smaller than a backhoe excavation, there is less risk of damaging the land and ecosystems near the project.  Hydro excavation uses high pressure water – rather than chemicals or other dangerous materials, which is an environmental plus.  When the job is done the scars are smaller than a mechanical dig – allowing the land to heal quicker.

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. The EdenFlo team offers the best catch basin cleaning in the lower mainland. Our diverse fleet of  specialized vacuum equipment allows us to get at even the most challenging drains.

 In addition to  catch basin cleaning, Edenflo Pump Truck Service offers hydro excavation, storm drain cleaning or any other hydrovac service, Edenflo has the equipment and the expertise to get the job done right and on time.
