Clearing blockage in storm drain
Following flooding in basement, we had storm drain checked and a blockage was found just beyond our property line. Town of Markham use Roy and his team who came out on a Sunday morning. The task appeared really challenging - camera was getting to mud, high pressure water jet was getting through but not creating a permanent channel, ultimately the old-fashioned snake succeeded with a huge amount of patience required to chop up root segments that had infiltrated the drain. They hacked away and ultimately got the drain completely cleared. Their determination and persistence was impressive and they retained a pleasant demeanour throughout (almost 4 hours in total by the time they were done). They were careful to not create any mess. Highly recommend.
The Town of Markham has also been fabulous in dealing with this - as the blockage was on their property, there was no cost to us.
