Cars come into your business with all kinds of gunk caked on to them, and your catch basin is there to gather it all up in one place so it can be disposed of properly. These may seem like just a hole in the ground, but, like many drainage systems, there's a lot of engineering that goes into making them work. Keeping them clean is essential to letting them do their jobs.

No Emergencies

Regular maintenance is the most important element in the prevention of those dreaded emergency calls. Nobody wants to see an overflowing pool of sludge while they're getting their car washed, and regularly scheduled maintenance prevents such a situation before it even starts. In short, it avoids costly line jetting procedures and the potential loss of customers.



Clearing out Dirt

Skimming the top isn't enough to clean out your basin. You'll probably need specialized tools and a whole lot of practice to get all the sludge that settles to the bottom of these tanks. In fact, they're specially designed to give wastewater the chance to deposit that sludge over time, allowing it to be removed by regular maintenance.

Your basin is designed to be cleaned, so it's a good idea to hire people who know how to clean by the book. You'll avoid unsightly messes and costly emergency calls in the bargain. Contact Upstate Septic Tank, LLC for more information.
