Spills and overflows from sewer lines pose a host of problems to a community. Not only can it spoil the environment, but it can also endanger public health. Sewer cleaning tools are undoubtedly indispensable in preventing such events, but there’s still much to do. In the case of states like Alabama, sewage spills are more prevalent than expected.

Water conservation groups have expressed their concern over the instances of sewage spills around the state. Recently, nine Alabama groups have compiled a map of over 1,271 sewage spills that occurred in 2016 as part of their efforts in persuading state regulators to practice oversight in these cases.

The old saying goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and that’s especially true of industrial sewer systems. These systems control the flow and disposal of waste water to municipalities of all sizes, and keeping on top of problems beforehand can help prevent environmental catastrophes.

Upgrading equipment might seem like an unnecessary expense in these days of budget crunches and cut-backs, but it’s a worthy investment when public or employee health and safety are at stake.

Ensuring Efficiency and Accuracy

Sewer cameras provide a glimpse into areas of waste and water systems that few humans can match. Whether we’re talking about the flexible VeriSight Pro hoses that can traverse the smallest pipes or a rugged robotic camera like the RovverX SuperVision that can travel up to 1,640 feet into a complex sewage system, high-tech aids like these make your maintenance team’s job much more efficient and accurate.

Maintaining the cleanliness of any street, especially within suburbs and traditional neighborhoods, is necessary to eliminate waste build up and clutter that diminishes home and property value overnight. Apart from its visual aspect, cleanliness is also vital in preventing environmental and health issues within the community.

For this task, using traditional cleaning equipment might not be enough. That’s why you should begin looking at street sweepers for sale. These cleaning equipment are more than capable of maintaining cleanliness in a given community, regardless of its size.

If you’re in the market for high-end cleaning equipment for your neighborhood, certain factors should be considered first.

Whether you’re using a Vactor truck rental or your very own unit frequently, you always have to keep in mind ideal practices to keep it well maintained. Sure, these heavy duty equipment are meant to take on the toughest jobs but too much wear and tear can eventually take a toll on your Vactor truck parts. Finding a replacement during inconvenient hours can be both expensive and difficult. To avoid a hassle that can put a stop to your operations, here are a few preventative measures you need to take.

Proper Operation

Handling and operating your equipment as instructed by the manufacturer goes a long way in terms of maintenance. For instance, a septic pumping truck or a vacuum truck must only be used as they are intended to be, never as substitutes for other specialized vehicles. Equipment such as these often come with their own manuals with detailed operation procedures, illustrated guides and even maintenance steps. Contractors would do well to carry those with them whenever they head out to provide service. If, for example, your rental does not come with a manual, you can always contact manufacturers or distributors to ask them for tips.

Millions of households and establishments benefit from modern wastewater treatment. It’s not uncommon for cities to dedicate a large portion of their budgets in funding the proper sanitation or disposal of dirty storm or flood waters, as well as fluid from bathrooms, kitchens, and other everyday facilities. All of these end up in the area’s sewer system, which must be maintained to prevent sewage spills.

Every night in every major city, a giant white street sweeper truck crawls slowly along major thoroughfares, sucking up natural and man-made debris–everything from cigarette and food wrappers to leaves and snow. Underneath the growling behemoth, a system of brushes and water sucks all the debris in a holding tank.

Vactors come with highly powerful suction pumps that can be calibrated by their handler to efficiently and quickly suck in material. Some of the most heavy-duty pumps can weigh up to 470 pounds, and can take in as much as 400 cubic feet of sewage per minute.
