How we prepare service guidance

Lower Mainland Catch Basin Service publishes practical information about catch basin cleaning, storm drain maintenance, hydro jetting, camera inspection, and drainage planning. Our goal is to help readers describe a problem clearly, understand reasonable next steps, and choose the right service path without pretending that a web page can diagnose an onsite condition.

Scope: This website provides general service-planning information. Actual access, equipment, urgency, service availability, and the correct course of action depend on the property and conditions found onsite.

What we use

How pages are checked

Limits and safe use

Do not enter tanks, pits, drainage structures, or other confined spaces. Do not handle sewage, active electrical equipment, or unsafe flooding based on an online article. For active backups, spreading water, surfacing wastewater, or immediate property risk, call an appropriate service provider or local authority.

Primary reference

Province of British Columbia — Stormwater infrastructure. External guidance can change; use the linked publisher's current page for regulatory or safety decisions.

Corrections and service context

If a page does not match the current condition at your property, include the page title and the specific issue when you contact us. Clear photos, city, access notes, symptoms, and urgency usually provide better service context than an assumed diagnosis.
