Catch Basin Maintenance
It is crucial that every facility from the smallest operation to the largest understands the importance of catch basin cleaning and storm drain maintenance. You will notice all types of different debris that are collected in the catch basin. A backup can be caused by twigs, leaves, grass, solid/foreign materials, and sand which accumulates over time. The catch basin is doing what it was designed for by isolating the materials in one spot. These items are removed with a storm drain cleaning and disposed of properly according to waste regulations.
Understanding why a storm drainage backup is happening will help address the situation. A storm drain back up is an accumulation caused by stoppage in the water flow. Something in the system is preventing the water from continuing down the path, so it is re-routed back in the reverse direction instead of its normal course. This can be caused by a clog in the drain or a broken pipe. If not treated right away it can turn into an emergency situation.
It is also important never to dispose of hazardous materials down a storm drain which can hurt the environment. An extra benefit of properly maintaining the storm drain system is to help protect from water run off.
