What is a catch basin?
A catch basin that is a special drain designed to collect and prevent debris from clogging drainage pipes. Catch basins also help keep a wide range of pollutants from entering the sanitary part of your sewer system.
Routine catch basin cleaning
You may be wondering why it is important to schedule routine cleaning and maintenance for your catch basin in Richmond Hill and the Greater Toronto Area. If the catch basin itself is not properly cleaned or not cleaned at all, it will not function correctly, which will result in pollution and contamination of water in and around your property.
Does my catch basin need to be cleaned?
Similar to septic tanks, there are very few true telltale signs that your catch basin needs to be cleaned. Oftentimes, you will learn your catch basin needs to be cleaned as a result of an issue, and at that point it is too late! However, there is one giveaway sign. Most catch basins have an odour given that they collect debris, but if the odour is emanating from a considerable distance, that is a likely sign that cleaning is needed.
If you notice an odour around your catch basin on your property, it is a wise idea to call for a catch basin cleaning. Acting now can help prevent a clog that would otherwise cost you a large sum of money to fix.
Tips to maintain a proper catch basin?
At John Knox Pumping Service, we pride ourselves on helping our customers save money. By following a few simple steps for maintaining your catch basin, you will not need to schedule cleanings as frequently. First and foremost, prevent garbage and litter from going down the drain, as it will negatively affect the operation of the catch basin. Additionally, do not clean up yard clippings or dirt from your driveway or sidewalks with a hose, as the runoff will likely end up in your catch basin.
