Sump/Separator Pumping and Cleaning

With changing regulatory attention to storm water issues, catch basins, oil water separators, sumps and piping that discharge into Puget Sound or any of it's tributary rivers and streams, are increasingly recognized as points where sediment and contaminants can be trapped and recovered before they reach sensitive waters.

To be in compliance with current stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP), property and business owners should inspect and maintain all such structures on their property. CCS can help with this process by periodically removing sediment and sludge from catch basins, detention facilities or oil water separators using vacuum trucks. Plugged or clogged drains and piping can be cleaned using a combination of vacuum trucks and hight pressure water. The best time to perform this work is in the fall and spring, immediatley before and after the storm season. Maintaining clean stormwater facilities will help prevent back ups and flooding as well as protect water quality. Facilities that typically need this service include:

• Employee Parking Areas
• Outdoor Storage Yards
• Highway Maintenance Yards
• Equipment Yards
• Auto Dealers
• Shopping Malls
• Lumber Yards
• Sand & Gravel Yards
• Municipal Storage Yards
• Auto Recyclers
