Problems with an Aging Septic System

An aging septic system can have quite a few problems. It is true that proper and professional cleaning can help make a system last longer, but that does not mean that no problems will arise.

If you find you are having trouble with your aging septic system, cleaning and pumping might not be the right solution. You have to make sure that this is not going to cause any more damage to your tank. In some cases, you might not want to clean your septic system without more of an inspection. The inspection from the pumping company is going to be able to help make sure that the system is okay and ready for cleaning.

In the case of an aging septic tank, one has to be very careful when it comes to cleaning and pumping. Very old tanks could actually collapse and cause sinkholes in the yard that can become deadly. Pumping out these old tanks has to happen very carefully. If a professional doesn’t vacuum slowly and carefully, it could actually cause those tanks to cave in because of the pressures in the tank. Only professionals should handle the cleaning and vacuuming of old tanks, or newer tanks for that matter.

The septic tank system is certainly one of the most important parts of your home, and you have to make sure that it is in good shape. This is true whether you are selling the home or keeping the home. If you have a business, then you have to make sure that your aging septic tank is still in good shape, too. This means that you have to take care of your system properly with regular pumping and cleaning. This can help to increase the life of aging systems.

Of course, there may come a time when you have no choice but to replace your aging septic system. In these cases, you do not want to delay. Waiting too long when you need to have a new system can be disastrous. The last thing you need is for your aging septic system to break down, leak, and cause expensive cleanup, not to mention potential health issues.

By having professionals come to your home and inspect your system, and cleaning with regularity, you can extend your system’s life. The septic system is an area of home ownership you should never neglect because of the dangers and the costs involved with it.

Septic Holding Tank Cleaning is Important

A septic holding tank is a watertight tank that catches and contains the wastewater that comes from a home or a business. While most businesses and homes are going to have a connection to sewer lines, sometimes this is not possible because of the location. Those who are out of town may not have access to the sewer lines, and this means that they are going to need to have one of these septic holding tanks. This also means that they need to keep those tanks clean and in good condition if they do not want to have a huge mess on their property.

All of the wastewater that comes from the home or business needs to be in the holding tank until it can go for treatment or disposal. Because the tanks need to carry all of the water that comes from your home or place of business, they will often fill up quite quickly. Depending on the size of your tank and the number of people using water, you may need to have someone come, pump the tank, and clean it regularly.

You do not want to wait too long; otherwise, you can have an overflow or a backup of the system. It can also damage your tank. Some people choose to have an alarm on their septic holding tank that will alert them when the tank is 75% full. This ensures that you know when you need to have the professionals come out to your house and remove your wastewater from the holding tank.

Using low flow systems in your plumbing is one of the ways that some people are reducing the amount of wastewater that goes into the tank. This can help to reduce the frequency of your cleanings, and it is something that you may want to consider.

With regular inspections and cleaning, you can be sure that your tank remains clean and in good condition. You will not have to worry about overflows or a system that backs up. It is always important to have professionals who know their business to come, inspect your tank, and perform the cleaning. With the state of the art trucks and equipment that are available now, it is possible for them to do the cleaning and pumping of the septic holding tank quite quickly. Never wait too long between pumping for your tank or you might regret it!

Grease Trap Cleaning

A grease trap is a receptacle that channels wastewater from the kitchen directly to the sanitary sewer lines. Regular cleaning of grease traps prevents overwhelming buildup of grease and is essential in order to ensure its continued efficiency. Clogging and frequent back-ups in grease traps are usually the outcome of improper maintenance and cleaning practices or the general lack of them. Moreover, or outdated cleaning practices such as pumping are also ineffective when addressing clogging problems.

Reiterating our commitment to providing best cleaning solutions to distressed clients, Edenflo uses modern high-pressure water jetting technology to rid grease traps of oil and grease deposits. Mounted on our fleet of state-of-the-art multi-purpose pump trucks, the jetting system effectively bombards grease traps with pressurized and heated water to clean even the toughest oil and grease deposits. Jetting is also effective in unclogging certain inaccessible areas where a power snake fails to reach.

Although grease trap waste largely consists of water, food waste and other products are also found in them and these are difficult to recycle. Our multi-purpose pump trucks are mounted with a high-pressure vacuum pump that collects these substances so that they can be easily transported and disposed of in an appropriate place. This way, we provide our clients with an eco-friendly alternative to conventional grease trap cleaning services while guaranteeing 100% service satisfaction.

And because our modern high-pressure jetting system is truck-mounted, it is extremely mobile, promising the quickest response to distress calls. We also provide our clients with an immediate response through our 24-hour emergency helpline. Our services are available to clients residing in Vancouver and in the surrounding areas.

Video Line Inspection

The purpose of installing a complex network of drains and sewers in homes is to collect waste materials from kitchens and toilets so that they can be channeled away from the house. Drains and sewers serve various other functions too, such as directing rainwater towards underground sewers so as to prevent homes from being waterlogged during the rainy seasons. As a result, they prevent potential damages to individual property and save homeowners from repair costs.

Clogging and blocking is a common occurrence in drains and sewers, largely owing to the sheer volume of waste material that is channeled through them on a regular basis. Instances of drain and sewer blockage are perhaps the worst nightmare of homeowners as they invite a range of nasty and hideous problems that a person would hardly want to get acquainted with. What is more perturbing is that these problems get worse if left unaddressed.

Video Line Inspection is the most comprehensive solution to recurring blockages in drains and sewer pipes. The state-of-the-art process explores the depths of an underground network of pipes using a set of closed-circuit high-resolution cameras that attached to a long flexible cable. The cable easily travels through narrow pipes and sharp bends to provide the line inspector with a highly detailed footage of the insides of the drains and sewers, allowing them to easily identify the root cause of the blockage. This means that video line inspection will effectively track down the problem no matter how deep its roots.

Video Line Inspection offers homeowners a myriad of benefits over conventional inspection services, the most significant among which is the complete divorce that line inspectors enjoy from having to toil with labor tools. Other than this, the technology also allows the user to carry out a deeper inspection of pipes, enabling line inspectors much greater leverage in effectively identifying the problem and consequently solving it. Moreover, since the entire video line inspection process involves no digging, homeowners are saved from the costs associated with post-servicing repairs.

Edenflo Pump Truck Services is a family-owned business that promises high-quality video line inspection services to distressed residential and commercial customers in Vancouver, Richmond, Delta, Surrey, Langley, New Westminster, Burnaby, North & West Vancouver, Aldergrove and White Rock. Using state-of-the-art line inspection equipment, we do our best to present the complete picture to distressed homeowners before asking them to make critical repair and maintenance decisions.

Specialized Hydro-excavation Services

Hydro-excavation is the science of using pressurized water to dig the earth and remove accumulating debris with the aid of a powerful vacuum pump. Although the service is not widely available, hydro-excavation has acquired immense popularity in a short time for the fact that it is a non-destructive, eco-friendly and time-efficient means of excavation.

Hydro-excavation uses a modern multi-purpose pump-truck which is fitted with a high-pressure water gun, a vacuum pump and a storage tank for collecting residual matter. The water gun bombards the earth with pressurized water which is shot through a steel lance at incredible speeds of 2000 to 3000 PSI. This ensures that the excavation process is carried out cleanly and with clinical precision.

The resultant slurry of water and soil is then collected with the help of the eight-inch high-pressure vacuum line which sucks in the all the debris and residual matter, channeling it to the truck-mounted storage tank. The collected debris is then transported to a suitable location where it can be dumped safely so as to minimize environmental and health hazards.

Hydro-excavation particularly comes in handy during installation of underground utilities like cables and lines. This is particularly true when considering the fact that the complex underground distribution of existing pipes and electrical cables makes conventional manual excavation techniques or hydraulic units, highly susceptible to accidents and potential fatalities.

The fact that the entire excavation unit is truck-mounted means that it is extremely mobile and can be transported anywhere at short notice. This significantly reduces the response time it takes to address the distress calls of customers. Hydro-excavation is a surprisingly risk-free excavation procedure while also being surprisingly affordable.

Moreover, as the excavation process is precise and clean, minimal damage is done to individual property. This completely eliminates the repair costs that are usually incurred due to property damages that are inflicted by employing conventional excavation services. Hydro-excavation is a proven method that, to date, has not incurred injuries, utility damage or loss of service.

Hydro-excavation is a greener initiative too since it conserves the natural resources and environment while also minimizing the negative impacts of human involvement. By restricting the excavation process to a small radius, the process minimizes the disruption to the environment, ensuring easier post-excavation reclamation. The use of clean water to blast the earth and the ensured restriction of slurry to a localized area are some of the other unmatched benefits that the process offers.

Edenflo – Hydro Flushing

The words ‘blocked’, ‘drain pipes’ and ‘sewer pipes’ are often used together in sentences, suggesting how frequently homeowners are plagued by clogging and blockage problems. Both drainage pipes and sewers are highly susceptible to clogging due to excessive usage over time. Drain and sewer blockage can introduce homeowners to a range of problems such as spewing drains and regurgitating toilets. If proper and timely attention is not invested in the thorough cleaning of these drains, such problems, much to the chagrin of homeowners, become a regular feature that demands both money and time.

Hydro Flushing is an innovative new process that comprehensively cleans drains and sewers, ridding them of blocked waste material and debris. The process uses a truck-mounted unit that shoots heated water through drainage and sewerage pipes at incredibly high pressure. The high-pressure heated water bombards tough waste material and debris from every nook and cranny while also clearing out grease, silt, slime and sludge owing to its high temperature.

Apart from being a quick and comprehensive solution to drain blockage, Hydro Flushing also offers a range of conveniences to homeowners such as the economy of time. Because the process is so comprehensive and efficient at clearing out waste and debris from drainage pipes, homeowners are also saved from the recurring expenses that are generally associated with frequent blockages.

Moreover, the use of heated high-pressure water instead of sharp tools ensures that drainage pipes, especially plastic and fiber pipes, do not suffer from damage during the cleaning process. This saves customers from repair costs that they would otherwise have to pay if they had hired a company using conventional cleaning procedures.

Catch Basin Cleaning

The need for catch-basin cleaning

Catch basins are openings for storm drain systems that catch sediments and debris through a curb, grate or sump. Catch basins stop trash from making their way into the drainage system while also to protecting the quality of the water by filtering out pollutants. Catch basins need regular cleaning and maintenance in order to ensure proper drainage. Sediment and debris that accumulates in the sump areas should be removed to allow free passage for water. Catch basins that are full of sediment and debris block the entrance to drainage systems and sewers. Other than to stop blockages, maintenance of catch basins is also important in order to prevent pollutants from entering sewers. This makes Catch basin cleaning a crucial and regular practice as pollutants that are allowed into sewers as a result of neglect are inevitably discharged into streams, waterways and lakes. Moreover, inadequate maintenance of catch basins causes accumulation of water in parking ways and along streets.

Our Catch-basin Cleaning System

We provide high-quality cleaning and maintenance services to anxious and annoyed customers in the Lower Mainlands of Canada. Our dedicated team of professional servicemen have years of experience in the service-based industry and are committed to providing faster and comprehensive cleaning of underground pipes, sewers and drainage systems. Fitted with all the necessary equipment needed for catch basin cleaning, our multipurpose trucks specialize in catch basin cleaning. We use an innovative technique that combines heated and pressurized water that is delivered through catch basin pipes at supersonic speed. This process effectively eliminates blockages even in the most unreachable areas of pipes such as bends and turns. Our multipurpose trucks are also mounted with industrially approved high-powered strength vacuums that cleanup catch basins effectively and efficiently.

How frequently should Catch Basins Be Cleaned?

How frequently catch basins should be cleaned varies from area to area. Typically, catch basins should be cleaned once every year to ensure that they are at their best. However, if you reside in an area that has higher levels of pollution, you should ensure that cleaning is done on a more frequent basis. This is because polluted cities have higher discharge of trash, waste and debris all of which can easily find their way into sewers and drainage pipes. It is therefore necessary to remove sediments and trash accumulated in sumps with our catch basin cleaning service.

Some ways to ensure clean catch basins

Catch cleaning services may only be required once a year if these preventive measures are followed religiously:

  1. When clearing sidewalks or driveways, dispose of debris and waste material properly using trash receptacles rather than sweeping it down gutters and catch basins.
  2. Remove debris and leaves immediately whenever you see such waste material blocking catch basins around your business or house
  3. Try to keep catch basins open during winters as snow mostly blocks them.
