Take care of the floors before it pours!
We often get calls during rain storms from customers whose parking lots and/or front yards are flooded because of a clogged storm drain. The only problem with that is that if you have your drains serviced during a storm, all that is being sucked up during that pump out is what is currently falling! Meaning that once the tech the tech has filled his truck to the brim, your initial problem is still there!!!
We here at Pump Outs Unlimited make sure to inform and educate our customers on the importance of prevention and preparation before the rainy season arrives! If drains are serviced and maintained during they dry season, you can rest assured that lots and driveways will be free of flooding during storms.
Do you have storm drains that have not been serviced recently??!! There is still time! Call us today and one of our friendly staff can schedule a well trained and experienced technician to come out to property!!

Another happy drain field client
Septic drain fields, also called leach fields or leach drains are used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges from the septic tank. A septic tank, the septic drain field, and the associated piping compose a complete septic system. The septic drain field is effective for disposal of organic materials readily catabolized by a microbial ecosystem. The drain field typically consists of an arrangement of trenches containing perforated pipes and porous material (often gravel) covered by a layer of soil to prevent animals and surface runoff from reaching the wastewater distributed within those trenches.[1] Primary design considerations are hydraulic for the volume of wastewater requiring disposal and catabolic for the long-term biochemical oxygen demand of that wastewater.

Here are pictures of a client whose drain field we just completed. The entire building process was done painlessly in one day. Look no further, we're the experts! Call us today for a free, no obligation estimate! 305.620.7005

Monday Monday....Drains and Drains
Now that the rain has somewhat subsided in our fair city, people become less aware of the need to service their catch basins when in fact, this is the season when they need it most. Water contamination and flooding are only two important reason, but have you ever given thought to how mosquitoes affect our sewer systems?
A recent article in the Journal of Medical Entomology on mosquitoes and sewers caught my eye–yep, I know, most people would skip that one. But the study does shed light on an important public health topic, namely factors that can influence the spread of West Nile virus (WNV) and other mosquito-borne diseases.
Now sewer catch basins are not generally nice places to be, but mosquitoes seem to like them. Garner and coworkers sampled mosquito larvae from 19 catch basins over the course of a mosquito season and found a strong correlation between dry, hot weather and Culex mosquito populations. Culex mosquitoes are the most common vectors of WNV in Texas. They are one of our container breeding mosquitoes, but are most commonly found in dirty, yucky water where fish and other mosquitoes don’t survive well.
Now the interesting thing about the Illinois study is that mosquito numbers were very low after periods of rainfall, but highest during the hottest and driest part of the summer. This is the opposite of what most people think about mosquitoes, especially since the most obvious mosquito do occur right after a spell of rainy weather. So which is worse, wet weather or dry weather, for mosquitoes?
It turns out that wet weather mosquitoes, also known as floodwater mosquitoes, are larger and produce a more painful bite than the house mosquito in the genus Culex. Culex mosquitoes, on the other hand, are the ones that are mainly responsible for disease transmission in Texas. This correlates well with the patterns of WNV occurrence in the Dallas area.
We see WNV occurring mostly in bird and human populations during mid- to late-summer, when storm drains produce the most mosquitoes.
So why more mosquitoes during the dry season? The authors of the Illinois survey conclude that rains tend to scour the storm sewer catch basins and wash away any Culex larvae breeding there. When the temperatures warm, mosquitoes can breed more quickly. And when the inevitable dry spell arrives, the mosquitoes still have these stagnant catch basins all to themselves, perfect for breeding. Of course if the drought lasts too long, even storm sewer catch basins dry up and mosquito breeding slows.
I realize that while parking lots aren't flooding storm drains are probably the last thing that most proprietors are worried about, but hopefully this article will cause some food for thought. Call us today for a prompt, no obligation proposal.

Catch basins typically hold water for days to weeks after a rain. When leaves or grass clippings accumulate in the basins, ideal breeding sites for mosquitoes are created.

Lift Stations Lift Stations Lift Station
Key elements of lift stations include a waste-water receiving well, often equipped with a screen or grinding to remove coarse materials; pumps and piping with associated valves; motors; a power supply system; an equipment control and alarm system; and an odor control system and ventilation system. Lift station equipment and systems are often installed in an enclosed structure. They can be constructed on-site (custom-designed) or prefabricated.
In standard septic systems, gravity is used to flow the sewage from the home to the septic tank, and then to the leach field. When the sewage needs to be pumped because the tank or leach field is at higher ground.septic pumps are also used to pump sewage into the city sewer, when the street sewer line is higher than the home sewage line. Septic Lift Stations fill with sewage to a certain level, then the pump turns on and the sewage is pumped on to the next stage.
