MT Catch Basin Toronto

The Role of a Catch Basin & Importance of Maintaining It
The catch basin, or more commonly referred to as a storm drain, uses a process that includes a grate installed level with the street that lets rainwater or melted snow travel to the sump below. The sump collects debris to stop larger pieces from entering the drainage system. A valve inside prevents the smell from the sewer coming out of the basin.
The Importance of Maintaining Your Catch Basin
The purpose of catch basin cleaning and maintenance is to eliminate possible blockages resulting in an overflow. A visible sign of such obstructions occurs in the pooled water on public streets and parking lots. Maintenance begins with removing buildup collected in the sump with the use of a vactor flusher truck, or vacuum excavator, to suck out the debris collected there.
