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.

Easy Tips to Know if Your Catch-Basin Needs to be Cleaned

The experts at Edenflo Vacuum Pump Truck service are known for their quick and efficient cleaning of catch-basins in the lower mainland.  Here are some tips to know when your catch-basin needs servicing.

What is a Catch-Basin?

Also known as storm drains, catch-basins are located along roadways, on parking lots and in parking garages. They drain water into the storm drain system.

Signs of Trouble

There are some telltale signs, however, that something is wrong with a catch-basin. Debris on top of the catch-basin that is blocking the flow of water, or, if the water is backing up suggests the need for immediate servicing. The prevalence of strong, foul odours emanating from a catch-basin could mean decomposing matter is blocking the flow of water – affecting its operation.
