Why Etobicoke Properties Trust Us
Etobicoke's position between Lake Ontario to the south and the Humber River to the east makes proper drainage infrastructure absolutely essential. The Mimico Creek, Etobicoke Creek, and their tributaries run through the heart of the district, and properties within their floodplains face heightened risk when catch basins are not functioning at full capacity. The devastating Toronto floods of 2013 demonstrated what happens when overwhelmed drainage systems combine with intense rainfall — basements flooded, roads became impassable, and property damage ran into billions of dollars across the city. Etobicoke was among the hardest-hit areas.
The Highway 427 industrial corridor, stretching from the Gardiner Expressway north to Rexdale Boulevard, is one of the busiest commercial-industrial zones in the GTA. Warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing plants, and trucking depots line both sides of the highway, and their massive parking and loading areas generate heavy runoff laden with oil, diesel, and particulate matter. Catch basins in these environments need cleaning more frequently than typical commercial properties — we recommend at least twice per year for heavy industrial sites.
Etobicoke Drainage Infrastructure
Etobicoke's residential areas range from the affluent tree-lined streets of Kingsway and Princess Gardens to the post-war subdivisions of Rexdale and the Westway. Older areas built in the 1950s and 1960s have concrete catch basin structures that can crack and shift over time, allowing soil to infiltrate and block the drainage pipes beneath. Our crews inspect basin condition during every cleaning and report any structural concerns to property managers. Newer developments along the Lakeshore in Mimico, New Toronto, and Long Branch feature modern drainage systems with oil-grit separators that also require professional maintenance.
We service dozens of commercial plazas along Dundas Street West, The Queensway, and Bloor Street West in Etobicoke, as well as institutional properties including schools, long-term care facilities, and places of worship. Our team is thoroughly familiar with Etobicoke's road network and infrastructure layout, allowing us to plan efficient routes that minimize our time on site and keep costs down for multi-basin properties.

FAQ
Common Questions — Etobicoke
How much does catch basin cleaning cost in Etobicoke?
Catch basin cleaning in Etobicoke ranges from $150 to $500 per basin depending on size and condition. Industrial properties near the 427 corridor with oil-laden basins may require additional processing. We always provide a written estimate before beginning any work.
Does Etobicoke require property owners to maintain catch basins?
Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, and Toronto bylaws hold property owners responsible for maintaining drainage infrastructure on private land. This includes catch basins, storm drain connections, and oil-grit separators. Failure to maintain these systems can lead to fines and liability for flood damage to neighbouring properties.
Do you offer emergency catch basin service in Etobicoke?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Etobicoke. Flooding from clogged catch basins can cause serious property damage quickly, so we prioritize emergency calls and dispatch crews as fast as possible — often within two to three hours.
Can you clean oil-grit separators in Etobicoke?
Yes. Many newer Etobicoke commercial properties have oil-grit separators installed as part of their stormwater management system. We have the equipment and training to clean and maintain these units, and we handle proper disposal of the collected waste in compliance with Ontario environmental regulations.
