When is catch basin cleaning not enough?
If a clean basin still holds water, the outlet may need hydro jetting. A repeat backup can point to a line problem that needs CCTV inspection or locating before repair planning.
What should a scheduled service request include?
Useful details include the site address or cross street, approximate basin or drain count, problem area, preferred timing, access constraints and whether the backup has happened before.
When should we call instead of using the form?
Call when water is actively pooling near a building, parkade ramp, loading area or electrical room, or when a storm drain is backing up during rain.
Is this service for private property or public streets?
Service requests are for drainage on private commercial, strata and industrial sites. A drain in a public street or municipal right-of-way may need to be reported to the local municipality. If ownership is unclear, call or send the exact location.
