Wastewaters, from commercial properties to residential homes, have basic characteristics that could cause a significant negative impact on the environment. It is often full of hazardous chemicals, microbiological pathogens, and other related contaminants that could cause significant issues if not handled properly. We at Edenflo are proud of our environmentally friendly services in helping our communities all across British Columbia maintain healthy standards when disposing of collected wastewater.

The wastewater all around our communities are waterborne liquids and solids that have been discharged from commercial and residential properties. While they are an essential component to living in a community, they can cause significant issues when not handled properly.

Removing, Controlling and Treating Wastewater
In general, the philosophy of proper wastewater sanitation typically involves removing, controlling and treating the wastewater before allowing it to reconnect with the natural environment. Through an intelligent design, companies including Edenflo, follow the basic fundamentals to ensure that the wastewater collected helps to maintain an acceptable condition of nature.

The treatment of wastewater is a proven process were all of the solids contained in the water go through a process where their partially removed and partially decomposed, and eventually forming inorganic solid. At that point, all of the liquids are naturally disposed, leaving only the solids behind.

Wastewater disposal can happen in two different ways. The process can include service disposal, such as using it for irrigation as a non-potable liquid. It can also be reclaimed by the Earth using sub-surface disposal techniques where the treated non-potable water is allowed to penetrate below the surface.

Edenflo works hard to maintain the highest standards with our eco-friendly services to ensure the community that no wastewater is discharged on the surface waters including our estuaries, lakes and rivers. Our actions help to eliminate the creation of dissolved oxygen that can cause significant harm to the water and the environment.

What is Catch Basin and Sump Cleaning?

Leave a reply

Catch basins and sump pits are two of the most often used words in relation to property management. Although completely unrelated—one is found on the road, while the other is located at home—those two parts of a sewage system prevents water from accumulating in places where it shouldn’t be.

While there is no denying that water is important, there are times when excess water gets into places where possessions could be easily destroyed. Therefore, it is important to have a drainage system that will direct water to a different location. This is where catch basins and sump pits come in—but first, a definition.

A catch basin is a type of drainage found on roads. When it rains, water accumulates on the lower part of the path, creating puddles that are not only unsightly but also inconvenient to walk on. A catch basin filters large debris and removes water from roadways and directs it to oceans, lakes and other bodies of water.

A sump pit, on the other hand, is located in the basement of homes. It holds the water that has collected inside the house and contains it in the basement. Like the catch basin, the sump pit has a grate over it, which acts as a riddle to prevent debris from entering the pit.

Both the catch basin and the pump pit are frequently used every year. Because of that, they tend to catch debris that is not filtered by the grills. Therefore, regular cleaning of the basin and the pit is required.

Catch basin and sump pit cleaning involves hosing off sludge and dirt and scraping off remaining deposits from the containers. Accessing drainage is tricky work, so the cleaning should be left to professionals.

Cleaning the receptacles is one way of preventing drainage clogging. When the systems are plugged, water cannot flow through freely, which could cause flooding and overflowing.

What Not to Dump in Your Toilet and How it Can Affect Your Septic Tank

Leave a reply

The septic tank requires little maintenance, thus it’s often the most neglected part of the home. There’s very little effort involved in keeping it in good condition. However, homeowners need to keep in mind that a septic tank needs to be clog free in order to work properly.

The tank is not a garbage can and should not be considered as such. Flushing down sanitary napkins, diapers, and even toilet paper can stop the tank from working properly. Random items such as cat litter, coffee grounds, and cigarettes butts can also hamper the efficiency of the tank. Anything that’s non-biodegradable can stop the sewer system from functioning well as it should.

Bacteria grow in the tank, and they are responsible for breaking down the solids that make their way into the system. With a tank nearly filled with non-biodegradable materials, the bacteria in the tank will have a difficult time turning the solids into sludge.

What if the item is too small or too trivial to count? Items such as dental floss and cotton buds may not seem like a lot, but if the tank uses a grinder pump, small items can be stuck in the impeller, causing massive pump damage.

Moreover, chemicals from home cleaning products (such as ammonia, bleach, and drain cleaners) also impede the processes of the septic system. These chemicals interfere with the anaerobic bacteria’s job, making waste processing very inefficient. What’s worse is that the chemicals can seep into and contaminate the nearby water system.

There’s a reason why garbage cans are created—they’re for the proper disposal of biodegradable and non-biodegradable items. When the tank breaks down, it will be most costly for the homeowner to have it repaired. Proper care and maintenance of the tank should save owners from the headaches and expenses that a broken down sewer system brings and that’s where Edenflo can help.
