PUMPING SERVICES

Catch basin cleaning is the process of removing debris, sediment, and contaminants from stormwater catch basins (the grated inlets you see along roads, parking lots, and yards). These structures are designed to capture runoff and prevent debris from entering the storm sewer system—but they only work properly if they’re maintained.

Why cleaning is important

Regular cleaning helps:

• Prevent flooding in streets, parking lots, and properties

• Protect infrastructure by reducing pipe blockages

• Improve water quality by removing pollutants before they enter waterways

• Stay compliant with municipal maintenance requirements

Interceptor cleaning is the process of removing oil, sludge, sediment, and floating debris from underground interceptor systems (often called oil/grit separators). These units are designed to capture contaminants before stormwater enters the municipal sewer system—but they require routine maintenance to function properly.

Why interceptor cleaning is important

Regular cleaning helps:

• Prevent system failure and backups

• Maintain environmental compliance with municipal regulations

• Reduce pollution entering waterways

• Avoid costly fines and emergency cleanups

Grease trap cleaning is the removal of fats, oils, and grease (FOG), along with food solids and wastewater, from grease interceptors installed in commercial kitchens. These systems prevent grease from entering sanitary sewer lines—but without regular cleaning, they quickly clog and fail.

Why grease trap cleaning is critical

Routine cleaning helps:

• Prevent sewer backups and kitchen downtime

• Eliminate foul odours

• Maintain compliance with municipal by-laws

• Extend the life of plumbing systems

Neglected grease traps are one of the leading causes of sewer blockages.

Underground parking garage cleaning removes built-up dirt, sand, salt, oil, and debris from parking structures to keep them safe, compliant, and in good condition year-round—especially important in Ontario where winter salt buildup is a major issue.

Why cleaning is important

Routine cleaning helps:

• Prevent drain blockages and flooding

• Reduce slip hazards for vehicles and pedestrians

• Protect concrete and rebar from salt corrosion

• Extend the lifespan of the structure

• Maintain a clean, professional appearance

Blocked sewer pumping is the rapid removal of wastewater, sludge, and debris from clogged sewer lines, manholes, or systems to restore flow and prevent backups, flooding, and property damage.

Why immediate pumping is critical

Fast response helps:

• Prevent sewage backups into buildings

• Reduce flooding and environmental hazards

• Minimize downtime for commercial and industrial sites

• Protect infrastructure from further damage

Parking lot catch basin pumping is the removal of accumulated water, sediment, sand, debris, and contaminants from catch basins in parking areas to maintain proper drainage and prevent flooding.

Why catch basin pumping is important

Routine maintenance helps:

• Prevent parking lot flooding during storms

• Maintain proper water flow into storm systems

• Reduce slip hazards and pooling water

• Protect underground piping from blockages

• Improve overall site appearance and safety
