Ah, winter in the Fraser Valley—where the rain comes down faster than you can say “umbrella,” and the parking garages turn into miniature lakes if you’re not careful. From Langley to Abbotsford to Chilliwack, the rainy season is the perfect time to make sure your underground parking garage isn’t doubling as an aquarium. Drainage issues can wreak havoc on your property and your reputation, but fear not—McRae’s is here to save the day with specialized drain and sewer cleaning services.

When Catch Basins Catch Trouble

Picture this: a crisp Fraser Valley morning, customers pulling into your parking garage, only to find their car parked in a puddle deeper than the Fraser River. The culprit? A clogged catch basin. These handy drainage systems work hard to keep your parkade flood-free, but they can only do their job if they’re clear of debris. When leaves, mud, or Tim Hortons cups decide to take up residence in the catch basin, drainage slows to a crawl—or stops entirely.

The “Low Boy” Heroes of the Garage World

Enter McRae’s with our trusty “Low Boy” vacuum trucks. These bad boys are specially designed to maneuver through the tightest, lowest-clearance parkades in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. From Metro Vancouver to Chilliwack, we’ve got the expertise and equipment to clean out drains where other trucks fear to tread.

Think of the Low Boy as the sports car of sewer cleaning. It’s sleek, efficient, and can squeeze into those hard-to-reach places without breaking a sweat. And because we’re so efficient, the job gets done faster—meaning less downtime for your parking garage and more time for you to enjoy a stress-free coffee break.

Why Drain Maintenance Isn’t Optional

Ignoring your drainage system isn’t just risky—it’s expensive. A backed-up parkade drain can cost you more than just a repair bill. Imagine customers pulling up, seeing a flooded garage, and driving off to spend their money elsewhere. Or worse—logging into Yelp to leave a scathing review about your “swampy” facilities.

And let’s not forget the long-term damage to your business’s reputation. In today’s world, one unhappy customer can broadcast their experience to thousands of people with a single tweet. Even after you’ve fixed the problem, those online complaints might stick around longer than the puddles in your garage.

Scheduled Maintenance: Your Drain’s Best Friend

Prevention is better than cure, especially when it comes to drainage. That’s why McRae’s offers scheduled maintenance services to keep your parkade’s drains flowing smoothly year-round. Our team will inspect and clean your drainage system regularly, so you can avoid costly backups and unexpected emergencies.

Whether you’re in Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Abbotsford, Delta, or anywhere else in the Fraser Valley, McRae’s has you covered. With the largest fleet of specialty equipment and decades of experience, we’re the go-to team for septic, sewer, and drainage maintenance in the region.

Don’t Let Rain Ruin Your Reputation

Winter weather might be inevitable, but drainage disasters don’t have to be. By keeping your underground parking garage’s drainage system in top shape, you’ll save money, protect your reputation, and keep your customers dry and happy.

Call McRae’s today and let our Low Boy trucks handle the dirty work. Because in the Fraser Valley, the only thing flooding this winter should be the coffee shops, not your parking garage.
