As a professional in the sweeping industry, I understand the significance of maintaining a clean residential neighborhood through regular power street sweeping. It’s not just about the visual appeal, but also the environmental and safety benefits that come with it.
Environmental Concerns:
Litter and garbage in a neighborhood can harm the environment and negatively affect consumer behavior. Power street sweeping can help prevent pollution by reducing the accumulation of sediment, trash, and bacteria on streets and parking lots, which can potentially contaminate water systems. This process also keeps storm drains and catch basins clean, preventing street flooding during heavy rainstorms.
Health and Cleanliness:
Street sweeping is also essential for safety by eliminating fugitive dust that can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular problems and damage pavement, striping, and seal coating of parking areas. Moreover, it reduces the need for extensive interior floor maintenance by minimizing the amounts of dirt and particulates tracked inside.
Regulatory Compliance:
Regular street sweeping ensures compliance with local, state, and federal environmental regulations, which minimizes air and water pollutants, avoiding costly fines associated with non-compliance.
What to Look For:
When looking for a street sweeping contractor, it’s essential to find one with experience and effective training programs in place. Sweeping companies affiliated with large power sweeping associations such as 1-800-SWEEPER or the North American Power Sweeping Association (NAPSA) prioritize employee training. It’s also important to select a company that invests in state-of-the-art equipment to ensure efficient job completion. You should consider the value that an established company with an experienced team brings to your specific situation.
Conclusion:
Although street sweeping may appear to be a significant expense upfront, it can save you money in the long run by extending the life of your pavement and enhancing your property’s curb appeal.
