What to have ready for a Richmond site.

Call (778) 312-3314Local drainage priorities
Richmond storm drain cleaning for flat commercial lots and parkades.
Richmond properties often combine flat parking lots, warehouse loading bays, parkade trench drains and high-water-table sensitivity. Catch basin cleaning removes sediment at low points, while hydro jetting or camera inspection can help when private storm lines continue to hold water.
- ✓Check low-point drains around warehouse doors, parkade ramps, loading docks and large flat parking areas after rain.
- ✓Book catch basin cleaning when sediment or standing water is visible.
- ✓Ask about hydro jetting or camera inspection if the outlet line seems restricted.

Request parkade drain cleaningServices by site condition
Match the service to what the drain shows.
Start with the visible problem; follow the drainage path only as site conditions indicate.
Catch basin cleaning
When an accessible basin is full, vacuum removal targets sediment, leaves, gravel and sludge held in the sump.
View service →Hydro jetting / line flushing
If a cleaned basin still holds water, flush accessible storm or perimeter lines to move reachable debris beyond the sump.
View service →Camera inspections
For repeat backups or an unclear route, inspect a reachable pipe to document visible debris, roots, offsets, low spots or damage.
View service →Private line locates & repairs
When inspection documents a structural defect, locate the affected section before repair scope is planned.

Richmond catch basin and storm drain FAQ.
Use these notes to choose the right service path before a parking lot, parkade, loading bay or private storm line backs up.
Do you clean storm drains as well as catch basins in Richmond?
Yes. Requests can include catch basin cleaning, storm drain flushing or line flushing, and follow-up hydro jetting when the basin outlet or private storm line is restricted. Mention whether the issue is in a parking lot, parkade, loading bay, industrial yard or strata roadway.
When should a Richmond property manager add hydro jetting or camera inspection?
Add hydro jetting if water stays high after debris is removed, more than one basin is slow, or the same outlet backs up again. Add camera inspection when repeat backups suggest roots, a pipe belly, a damaged section or an unknown connection.
What details help quote catch basin or parkade drain cleaning in Richmond?
Send the address, approximate basin or trench-drain count, where water pools, access windows, truck or parkade clearance, gate/loading-bay notes and whether the issue is urgent before rain. The quote prep guide, parkade drain page and maintenance page show the best details to include.
