Spring is a Good Time to Clean your Catch Basins

After a long winter, the first signs of spring bring a sense of anticipation of warmer days to come. Your catch basins have waited for spring as well – having worked hard to drain runoff during the coldest and wettest part of the year. Usually, there is a significant build-up of debris and organic matter that has accumulated over the last months, making spring the ideal time to have your catch basins cleaned by the experts at EdenFlo Pump Truck Services.

Many property managers have regularly scheduled maintenance of their catch basins to ensure that run off at any time of year will flow freely, allowing the system to work as intended.

Spring is just around the corner, promising warmer weather. But there is no guarantee that, with that warmer weather, comes drier weather!  Spring rain events are legendary on the West Coast!  Be prepared, call the experts at EdenFlo Pump Truck Services.

Lower Mainland’s Wet Season a Reminder to Inspect and Clean Your Catch Basins

The abundance of rain that the lower mainland receives this time of year is a good reminder for you to do your part to minimize potential flooding by getting catch basins inspected and cleaned on a regular basis.

Over time, the ability of catch basins to do their job deteriorates from the elements.  Debris including organic waste, pieces of asphalt or concrete and other particulate matter contribute to restricting the flow. Eventually the flow stops, and then you have a big problem.

The catch basins lead to the storm main lines.  This is your defence against flooding.  The catch basins are there to trap sand, silt and debris, preventing it from getting into the storm main lines.  Regular maintenance can ensure that the buildup of debris in the catch basins is never great enough to block the flow of water.

A call to EdenFlo Pump Truck Services to inspect your catch basins is now more important than ever. If your catch basins do require service, we have the right equipment to do the job including special “Lowboy” vacuum pump trucks that fit into lower spaces, like underground parking garages.

It’s Still Dry in the Lower Mainland – Do I Need to Worry About my Catch Basin?

It’s been a dry summer and fall on the lower mainland. Dry conditions mean debris has less moisture content. Dry debris that has accumulated in your catch basins may still allow for a reasonable flow of wastewater through the system, but one big rain could change the picture.

It’s been a dry fall. Your catch basin still needs cleaning

Once that fall debris of leaves and twigs gains moisture, it will expand and spell trouble for your catch basins. If you haven’t scheduled your seasonal catch basin cleaning, now is the time to book!  Don’t wait until soggy leaves are clogging your drains and you wind up in a bad situation.

Fall Twigs and Leaves Contribute to Catch Basin Back Ups in the Fall. 

Fall brings cooler weather, rain and the inevitable shedding of leaves. These leaves and other seasonal debris collect on the ground and eventually are transported to catch basins. Leaves and branches that collect around and in the catch basin become sticky and start to break, while attracting other debris that leads to accumulation of debris. Once this accumulation begins, it spells trouble for catch basin drainage.  
 
This is where the experts at EdenFlo come in.

Don’t Wait for an Issue to Clean Your Catch Basins

The most frequent mistake with Catch Basin cleaning is waiting until you see or are notified of a drainage backup or blockage. By the time you see a small lake forming around your catch basins, more significant issues may already exist in the underground lines that connect your drainage to the municipal system. Scheduling regular catch basin cleaning ensures that you will have trouble free flow from your property.

How often should you schedule cleaning?

As we all recognize, it rains a lot in the Lower Mainland!  This alone dictates a higher frequency for cleaning.  Also, if your catch basins are located in an area where there are a lot of trees or other landscape features, your schedule should be more frequent.
