Catch-basin cleaning for Surrey properties
City Wide cleans catch basins at Surrey strata, commercial and industrial properties. Identify the collection points, access covers and known buildup so the cleaning and material-removal work can be reviewed.
Family-owned. Serving the Lower Mainland since 1989.
A catch basin collects material before it enters the connected drainage system. Describe both the chamber condition and any drainage symptoms when requesting service.
Scope and preparation
Identify the chambers and what you have observed
Give the number and locations of the basins. Photos, a site plan and previous service records help identify covers, collection points and the areas they serve. Note visible debris, slow drainage, odours or recurring standing water.
Chamber cleaning, pipe jetting and vacuum material removal are related tasks with different scopes. List each requirement rather than assuming one service includes the others. Damaged frames and replacement grates also need their own assessment.
Plan the work
Keep collection points accessible for the work
Show equipment parking, vehicle clearances and the route to every basin. Identify covers within occupied stalls, loading areas or pedestrian routes, and say when those areas can be cleared.
Describe known contents and share maintenance or disposal records. Unusual or unknown material can change handling requirements. Confirm the cleaning, removal and disposal arrangements in the agreed scope.

Before you enquire
Questions about the service
Can basin cleaning and pipe jetting be reviewed together?
Yes. Describe the chambers and connected drainage symptoms in one request. City Wide can discuss which tasks are needed and state the work included in the quote.
What if a basin has damaged concrete or a broken cover?
Include photos and identify the affected point. Cleaning does not by itself replace a damaged cover, frame or chamber; ask for those items to be reviewed separately.
How should recurring basin service be planned?
Start with the current condition and available cleaning records. Discuss the property’s use, observed buildup and access, then agree on the work and frequency for that site.
