Problem-to-service guide

Describe what the water is doing.

Property teams do not need to diagnose the pipe. Start with the symptom, then review the service that usually addresses it.

02 / Field method

One idea per step

Open the basin. Follow the line. Stop guessing.

Use the basin as the first access point, then move downstream only when the water path indicates another service may be useful.

  1. 01
    Assess the surface

    Note where water pools, whether it is rising, and what access is available.

  2. 02
    Remove the load

    Vacuum sediment and debris from the catch basin sump.

  3. 03
    Check the outlet

    Consider line flushing when a clean basin still will not drain.

  4. 04
    Inspect a repeat fault

    Use CCTV and locating information to support repair planning.

Field notes

Fast answers before you choose a path.

When is catch basin cleaning not enough?

If a clean basin still holds water, the outlet may need hydro jetting. A repeat backup can point to a line problem that needs CCTV inspection or locating before repair planning.

What should a scheduled service request include?

Useful details include the site address or cross street, approximate basin or drain count, problem area, preferred timing, access constraints and whether the backup has happened before.

When should we call instead of using the form?

Call when water is actively pooling near a building, parkade ramp, loading area or electrical room, or when a storm drain is backing up during rain.

Which Lower Mainland areas are listed?
