Pros and Cons of Preventive Catch Basin Maintenance

We love living in the lower mainland. The mountains merging with the ocean is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. We also live in one of the wettest areas in Canada with almost 100 inches of rain per year.
It’s the rain that creates many of the issues with catch basins in Vancouver and surrounding municipalities. If you own a commercial property that has either a surface drain or an underground parkade with multiple catch basins, you need to weigh the pros and cons of implementing preventative catch basin maintenance.
PROS (Doing Regular Catch Basin Maintenance) 
– cost certainty
– uninterrupted facility use
– peace of mind during significant weather conditions
– happy customers or employees
CONS (Reacting to Catch Basin Back Ups and Blockages)
 
– unexpected costs due to emergency service
– lost parkade revenue
– disgruntled employees
– unhappy customers

Back to School Means Back to the Office – Are Your Parkade Catch Basins Ready?

It’s likely that kids will be back in school all over the lower mainland come September.  This will mean that many of the parents that have been part of the “at home school experiment” since March will be returning to their offices. Your parking lots and parkades will need to be ready to accept this influx of vehicles.
Debris build up in your catch basins and drains could mean that your parking employees may have difficulty accessing parking spots. Even small rains can cause back ups and flood your lots if your catch basins are clogged. Now is the time to contact the professionals at Edenflo Pump Truck Services to service your catch basins.

Get a jump on your parkade drainage maintenance needs by booking Edenflo in August prior to the September back to work rush.

Summer Holidays Best Time to Clean Your Catch Basin

We all know that the pandemic has changed how we work.  Many of us are working from home, and this may become a permanent part of society going forward.  That being said, with summer holidays right around the corner, those lower mainland folks that have been going to the office will be planning to take a break for at least a week or two.

As many of your parking patrons are taking time off, it will be a great time to book your catch basin cleaning for your parking lot or parkade.  The staff at Edenflo are experts in getting into tight places to access your drainage systems.  Edenflo has a fleet of “Low Boy” vacuum trucks that can work in low clearance areas such as underground parkades, covered parking areas and tight spots.

Regular Maintenance Schedule for Catch Basins Key to Minimizing Issues

Like you.  We hate surprises.  It seems that we get emergency calls more often than not from property managers with underground parking garages or parking lots with clogged catch basins.  Yes, EdenFlo appreciates the calls and we are always ready to respond to your emergency needs.

Having said that…. wouldn’t it be nicer and less stressful to put your catch basin or drain cleaning for your underground garage or parking lot on a set maintenance schedule?

Generally speaking, our low ceiling parking garage clients that allow us to perform regularly scheduled maintenance have fewer urgent issues than those clients that choose to ignore this important mechanical component of your parkade.

Either way, the good news is that Edenflo Pump Truck Service is the expert for drain cleaning for low clearance or low ceiling areas such as below level parking garages. They have invested in the largest fleet of “Low Boy”  vacuum trucks on the lower mainland.

These specially designed trucks can access the lowest clearance areas in a garage, putting the equipment right at the drain for cleaning.

The  Importance of Lower Mainland Catch Basin Maintenance

 

Your catch basins may be in your outdoor parking lot or in the basement of your parkade.  Regardless of location, your catch basins are there to collect excess rain water from the surrounding area. We all know that rain water is something that we have an abundance of in the Lower Mainland.

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.

We know that many of you are dealing with more important issues right now than worrying about whether your catch basins are clogged. A simple call to EdenFlo will have us there to inspect your catch basins.  If your catch basins do require service, we have the right equipment to do the job including special “Lowboy” units that fits into lower spaces, like underground parking garages.

Have your Catch Basin cleaned and inspected by the experts at Edenflo Pump Truck Services.  Edenflo offers the best service in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Delta, Surrey, Langley, White Rock, Richmond and Lions Bay.

Cleaning Catch Basins – Not a DIY Job…

The basics of cleaning a catch basin is to remove the debris  that may be blocking the flow of water. Even though it sounds simple, this is not something you should trust yourself to do on your own. Most of the catch basins in the lower mainland are very deep. Trying to scoop out the debris will not only challenge your senses (usually the debris will have a foul smell), but it can also result in a fall or a strain. If you don’t do this for a living like the pros at EdenFlo, you may be in for more than you bargained. EdenFlo has the right tools for the job, and they know the best practices to ensure that commercial drain flows are maximized.

As well, EdenFlo will do an inspection as they are servicing your catch basin to ensure the infrastructure is in good shape.

Rather than try to do it yourself, and then finding out that you will still need to make a call to EdenFlo to deal with a clog, get it done right the first time and put your mind at rest.

Now is the time to get your catch basins inspected and serviced. Edenflo offers the best service in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Delta, Surrey, Langley, White Rock, Richmond and Lions Bay. Call the experts at 604 575 1414 or fill out our online request for your catch basin service
