Vacuum removal for Burnaby drainage work
City Wide provides vacuum removal for suitable material in accessible catch basins, sumps and related drainage chambers at Burnaby properties. Describe the collection points, known contents and route for equipment.
Family-owned. Serving the Lower Mainland since 1989.
Define the material, volume, access, handling and disposal arrangements for each collection point before the work is agreed.
Scope and preparation
Identify the contents and collection points
List each chamber or collection point and give available service or disposal records. Describe known sediment, debris or liquid, approximate volume and any unusual or suspected contaminated material.
Unknown contents and hazardous material need assessment. Confirm what can be collected and how transport and disposal will be handled. Ask for those responsibilities to be stated rather than assuming every waste stream is included.
Plan the work
Confirm the route from equipment to chamber
Provide equipment parking, access clearances, vehicle restrictions and the distance or route to each point. Identify occupied stalls, pedestrian routes and the work windows when surrounding areas can be kept clear.
If the job also needs basin cleaning, pipe jetting or pump-related assessment, include each task in the request. Material removal does not repair damaged pipes, covers or equipment.

Before you enquire
Questions about the service
Can vacuum collection and pipe cleaning be quoted together?
Yes. Locate the chambers and affected lines, and describe the material and blockage. Ask for collection, pipe cleaning and disposal to be identified separately.
What if the material is not identified?
Tell City Wide that the contents are unknown and share any available records. Suitability, handling and disposal need assessment before collection is agreed.
What access information matters for vacuum work?
Provide equipment parking, height and vehicle restrictions, the route to each chamber and available work windows. Include any areas that must stay open.
