If your sewer system is holding water and causing issues or back-ups, Thuro has a fleet of flush and vacuum trucks to clear your manholes, catch basins, sanitary, and storm pipes. If the manholes and catch basins don’t have visible debris our first suggestion is to flush the pipe between the access points as there could be an internal blockage.  High pressure flush trucks can remove most types of blockages including grease and debris such as gravel from the pipe. With hydraulic cutting equipment we can also use the flusher to cut out root blockages or grind down mineral deposits caused by water infiltration. In most cases flushing can clear your line and get your sewer/storm water flowing again.  If there is a lot of debris flushed out of the line or in the manhole/catch basin itself, or if the manhole or catch basin is filling with water a vacuum truck may be required to remove the solid waste/debris inside. Catch basins often have excess gravel from road/parking lot cleaning operations in spring. A vacuum truck will quickly and easily remove these materials so the stormwater/sewage can flow through the system as intended.
