Why Aurora Properties Trust Us
Aurora is a mid-sized town in York Region that straddles the Oak Ridges Moraine, giving it a distinctive landscape of rolling hills, kettle lakes, and forested ravines. This terrain, while scenic, creates real drainage challenges for property owners. The moraine's sandy and gravelly soils allow groundwater to percolate readily, which means catch basins in Aurora often collect not just surface runoff but also groundwater seepage carrying fine sediment. Properties on the moraine itself — particularly in the hills east of Bayview Avenue — may see their basins fill with sand and silt more quickly than properties on clay soils further south.
The East Holland River flows through Aurora, and the town falls within the jurisdiction of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. This authority takes an active role in regulating stormwater quality and quantity for the Lake Simcoe watershed, which has been the subject of a provincial protection plan since 2009. Property owners in Aurora are expected to maintain their stormwater management systems — including catch basins — to prevent pollutants from entering the watershed. This regulatory context makes regular catch basin cleaning not just a practical necessity but a compliance requirement for many Aurora property types.
Aurora Drainage Infrastructure
Aurora's commercial areas are concentrated along Yonge Street, Bayview Avenue, and Wellington Street, with the SmartCentres Aurora plaza and the Bayview Avenue industrial-commercial strip being two of the busiest service areas for our crews. The Yonge Street corridor through Aurora's historic downtown features older storefronts with limited on-site drainage, while the newer commercial developments on Bayview have modern stormwater systems with oil-grit separators and underground storage.
Residential properties in Aurora range from the heritage homes near the downtown core to the large-lot estates in the Hills of St. Andrew and the newer subdivisions of Stonebridge and Aurora Highlands. Many of these residential communities were designed with stormwater management ponds that collect runoff from the neighbourhood, but individual properties still rely on properly functioning catch basins to convey water from driveways, parking areas, and yard drains to the storm sewer system. Our crews service Aurora regularly and know the town's infrastructure well. We take pride in helping Aurora property owners meet their drainage maintenance obligations efficiently and affordably.

FAQ
Common Questions — Aurora
How often should catch basins be cleaned in Aurora?
We recommend annual cleaning for Aurora properties, with early spring being the best time to address winter accumulation. Properties on the Oak Ridges Moraine may need more frequent attention due to sandy sediment infiltration, and properties with heavy tree cover should consider an additional fall cleaning.
Does Aurora require property owners to maintain catch basins?
Yes. The Town of Aurora and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority both enforce requirements for stormwater management on private property. Catch basins, oil-grit separators, and stormwater management ponds must be maintained to protect the Lake Simcoe watershed.
Do you offer emergency catch basin service in Aurora?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service in Aurora. If a blocked catch basin is causing active flooding on your property, call us right away. We will dispatch a vacuum truck crew to Aurora as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.
