Catch-basin cleaning in New Westminster
City Wide provides catch-basin cleaning for New Westminster strata, commercial and industrial sites. Include the basin locations, access and any standing-water concerns in your request.
Family-owned. Serving the Lower Mainland since 1989.
Cleaning the collection chamber, clearing a connected pipe and replacing a damaged grate are separate tasks. Identify which parts need attention.
Scope and preparation
Describe the basin and the problem
Send the number and location of catch basins, recent service history and photos of accessible covers. Note visible debris, water collecting around a drain or a damaged frame.
Material in the chamber may need vacuum removal. A connected line may need hydro jetting if its condition and access suit that method. Cleaning alone does not confirm that a pipe, chamber or frame is sound.
Plan the work
Make access part of the cleaning plan
Identify where equipment can park, the route to each basin and any clearance or hose-distance restrictions. Give the hours when nearby stalls or vehicle lanes can be kept clear.
Describe unusual material or suspected contamination before the visit so handling and disposal can be assessed. A broken or unstable cover should be raised separately for drain-grate replacement.
Details for your quote
- Mark all basin locations and include the number of covers.
- Share previous cleaning dates and any recurring blockages.
- Describe the material and any known contamination.
- Identify equipment access, parking closures and disposal requirements.
Before you enquire
Questions about the service
Does basin cleaning include every connected drain?
The quote should identify the chambers and connected pipes included. Pipe jetting, cover replacement and structural repairs need their own scope.
How often should a catch basin be cleaned?
Frequency depends on debris, site use, drainage performance and previous service findings. Use those records to agree a maintenance interval for the property.
Can City Wide replace a damaged grate?
Include a photo and measurements of the grate and frame. Replacement suitability depends on the opening, support and expected traffic.
