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

Post COVID Vancouver Offices May Have to Compete for Tenants

As vaccinations begin, there appears to be a light at the end of this long tunnel known as the pandemic. This means that in the not to distant future, many of us will be returning to offices to resume pre-covid careers.

Or will we?

Many predict that businesses located in high density urban areas like downtown Vancouver,  may keep their new virtual footprint.  This will lead to less office demand and could mean vacancy for once sought after space.  If you are a property manager, you may want to take a look at how you can make your offering as strong as possible. That starts with keeping your maintenance up to date, including your parkade.

The lower mainland attracts an abundance of rain, and that could mean parkade flooding due to catch basins that are clogged or damaged. It’s wise to have your catch-basin maintenance needs on a regular schedule to ensure that they are draining properly. Nothing is more unattractive for a potential tenant than having to park away from their tower because of flooding issues.

Reduced Staff at the Office Means a Great Time to Inspect and Clean your Catch Basins

With many lower mainland companies adopting a work at home mentality during the pandemic, now is a good time to inspect and clean your catch basins in your parking lot or parkade. You may find that with less cars parked, exposed drains and catch basins may be sharing clues of needed repairs or maintenance. Trouble may come in the form of water pooling around the basins, slow draining, or debris covering the grates. A catch basin that appears sunken into the asphalt or concrete is damaged and will need remediation. Cracks in the pavement around the drain is another problem area to look out for.

Low ceiling drain cleaning

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 grates, safely remove it.  A reminder to never attempt to remove the storm grate yourself, only the debris on top. Call EdenFlo Vacuum Pump Service if further action is required.

Don’t wait for a problem. When you need the best catch basin service or inspection in  Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Delta, Surrey, Langley, White Rock, Richmond or Lions Bay, call the EdenFlo experts at 604 575 1414 or fill out our online request for your catch basin service

Fall Debris and Catch Basins Not a Good Mix

The colours of fall are beautiful in the lower mainland. Leaves are falling and coating the roads with different tints of yellow and red. Unfortunately, the beauty  of fall is not necessarily welcome in parking lots and parking garages.
Fall is the heaviest season for debris.  This debris finds its way into catch basins and drains. If you have not cleaned your drainage system and or storm sewers, you may be in for a rude surprise of clogs that will result in back ups and possible flooding.

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.
