Catch Basins Need Cleaning and Simple Preventive Maintenance to Function Well

If you are a property manager, and want to minimize surprises regarding your drainage infrastructure, these 4 steps will help to set you up for success.

1. Be on the lookout for potential problems with the catch basins or drains on properties under your management. Trouble may come in the form of water pooling around the basin, slow draining, or debris covering the grate.
2. A preventive strategy to keep storm drains (catch basins) from clogging is the most effective method to protect your real estate. If you see debris on top of the grate, safely remove it. A reminder to never attempt to remove the storm grate yourself, only the debris on top. Call the pros at EdenFlo if further action is required.
3. If you see a catch basin that is not draining correctly on a well-used parking lot, or a blind corner in your underground parkade, do not attempt to clear it yourself. Instead, contact the experts at EdenFlo to manage the situation with safety first in mind.
4. Have EdenFlo assess your catch basin cleaning needs to help you to be the most efficient with your maintenance spend. Chances are, routine scheduled cleaning will eliminate all but the most unpredictable emergencies.

Lower Mainland Contractors Concerned about the Environment Choose HydroVac Service over Backhoe.

Based on recent weather events, we are all paying more attention to the environment. Lower mainland contractors and property managers want to do the right thing when it comes to picking vendors that have a smaller environmental impact. 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.

Atmospheric River Causes Big Drainage Issues

We are known for rain on the lower mainland, but when an atmospheric river descends on the region, even the most hearty feel a bit overwhelmed. The event last week caused creeks to swell and pick up wood debris and gravel that blocked culverts, catch basins and drainage channels. The resulting flooding created many challenges for Vancouver and surrounding areas.

Even well maintained catch basin systems can be compromised by mother nature. When it happens to your parking lot or underground parkade, give the experts at Edenflo Pump Truck Service a call.

As Rain and Wind Events Become More Intense, Your Catch Basins Need Attention

It’s no secret that our climate on the lower mainland is changing, with our rain and wind events becoming more intense. A steady rain is usually no problem for a catch basin or drainage system, but an intense rain event that dumps a large amount of precipitation will overwhelm catch basins that may be partially blocked due to sporadic servicing.

Intense wind will move more debris in less time into lower areas – including your drainage system. This will create a blockage in your catch basin, that when the rains come will result in flooding.

Getting to a flooded catch basin can be incredibly difficult after an intense storm. Invariably customers and pedestrians will be inconvenienced by parking lots and or road closures.

Fall Moisture Brings Catch Basin Challenges

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.

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.
