Vacuum Truck Saves Time, Money, and Future Repairs
Phil prides himself in showing up time, doing the job right, and bringing a level of expertise that is second to none. Phil also likes to do these things at a fair and affordable price. Phil Russell and CrackMaster Concrete have been repairing cracked foundations and repairing wet basements in the Lower Mainland for many years and they have warranties that are second to none.
There are times however when Phil has had to outsource work to outside suppliers. One of these tasks that Phil has outsourced in the past has been the use of Vacuum truck services to do such things as empty standing water in sump pump locations and residential and commercial catch basins. You can find great images for catch basins.
When vacuum truck service is outsourced the rates, and scheduled times are at the discretion of some other company and Phil has had no control over these circumstances.
So Phil has decided to expand his services by purchasing a Vacuum truck and bring the level of service that clients have become accustomed to when they deal with Phil.
Now Phil is not at the mercy of other companies for Vacuum Truck services!
Phil can stick to his thinking of bringing water damage repair, foundation repair and catch basin cleaning to the public at a fair and affordable pricing, providing warranties, and giving confidence that the job will be done correctly.

Many houses have a catch basin and cleaning your catch basin can be done economically when Phil is at your home repairing concrete cracks and leaky foundations. In many cases, the catch basin or sump pump pit should also be cleaned or cleared as a part of the solution to your wet basement repair.
What is a Catch Basin?
A catch basin is often referred to as a chamber or sump. They are frequently built near the curb and they allow surface water or runoff water to enter the stormwater collection and conveyance system. Catch basins usually have a low area below the outlet pile and it is intended to retain fine sediment. When the catch basin traps this sediment it prevents solids from clogging the storm sewer and being sent into the receiving waters. The removal of this sediment helps streams and waterways to stay cleaner so it has an aesthetic effect.
Catch basin cleaning is often overlooked simply because the role they play and the importance of maintaining them is often overlooked.

Line Jetting – Water jetting (water under high pressure) is an efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly approach to cleaning both sewer and drain pipes. With the aid of new technology clean water is propelled under different amounts of pressure into the drain pipe.
A nozzle designed for this purpose is mounted on the end of a commercial grade which has a pattern of both forward and reverse water jets. These jets are extremely powerful and they concentrated streams of water to clean and dislodge blockages.
Even toughest blockages and build-ups won’t stand up to water jetting. The end result will be clean pipes free of blockage and debris.
