Another Reason to Set Up a Regular Catch Basin Cleaning Schedule

 PumpYour drainage system is an important part of your property’s infrastructure.  In order to maintain your system properly, regular catch basin cleaning is a must.  Without regular cleaning, backups will happen and can lead to deterioration of the catch basin which can lead to expensive repairs.

 

Regular catch basin cleaning will save you money by increasing the lifespan of your catch basin drainage system.  Replacing an entire catch basin is expensive and takes time.

Smart Contractors use Hydro Excavation to Expose Underground Assets

t’s no surprise that plumbing and landscaping contractors choose a hydro excavation partner rather than a backhoe service to expose underground assets. Hydrovac excavation is more efficient and faster than mechanical removal of soil for septic tanks, sewer lines, trenches, poles and other work involving anything beneath the surface.  Using a vacuum truck to hydro excavate is becoming standard procedure when you need fast, accurate  and safe excavation done in a hurry.

What exactly is Hydro Excavation?

Hydro excavation is also called potholing or daylighting. The procedure involves blasting the soil to be removed with a high-pressure water jet, breaking it up and mixing it with the liquid. The resulting slurry is removed quickly by vacuum, and contained in the truck for appropriate disposal.

Hydro Excavation

Unlike conventional digging, there’s no danger of destroying an existing service line.  Landscapers and plumbing contractors prefer this technology because it’s very targeted,  allowing you to pinpoint the location of your excavation with minimal damage to adjacent property. Hydro excavation is ideal for stump removal, drilling of postholes, and installation of landscaping features like ponds and man-made streams.

Because hydro excavation is relatively “hands off”, it is safer for the workers involved in your project, and it can be used year-round, using hot water when the earth is frozen in winter.

Next time you have an excavation project, forego the backhoe. Give the hydrovac experts at Edenflo a call. Edenflo Pump Truck Service offers hydro excavation, storm drain cleaning or any other vacuum pump truck service, Edenflo has the equipment and the expertise to get the job done right and on time.

7 Ways That EdenFlo Can Help With Your Hydrovac Project

The Experts at EdenFlo Pump Truck Service are well trained on a variety of applications for Hydrovac Excavation. If you are a contractor and looking to subcontract any of the following, give EdenFlo a call.
Potholing / Daylighting

If you need  to expose underground utilities, hydrovac excavation should be your preferred option. The process gains access without damaging any of the assets.

 Debris/ Soil Removal 

You may have a project where there is a build up of debris and or soil.  Hydro excavation can clean areas without affecting existing infrastructure. It can be used to clean catch basins and drainage structures.

Confined or Small Space 

Downtown Vancouver streets are sometimes narrow, creating challenges to excavate and expose conduit or pipes. Even residential backyards are challenging to get at. Hydrovac service can work hundreds of feet away, allowing the vacuum truck to park away from the congestion

Slot Trenching 

If you need trenches dug, Hydrovac excavation is the best to use as it distributes less soil than a backhoe.

Low Ceiling Applications

If you own a parkade or underground garage, getting access to the catch basins to clean can be more than challenging.  Fortunately, EdenFlo has a substantial fleet of “Low Boy” vacuum pump trucks that can get at most low ceiling applications

Cold Weather Excavation 

Although we don’t get there that often in the lower mainland, freezing conditions can cause excavation issues. Using hydrovac techniques, frozen soil is mixed with warm water and the “slurry” is vacuumed up by the vacuum truck. This is a very effective method to expose assets
