What is Power Sweeping?
If you have a large concrete area to clean in Metro Vancouver or the Fraser Valley, you might need the services of McRae’s Septic – a local power sweeping company in British Columbia. Did you know that power sweeping equipment was first used in 1849? This equipment was invented before the automobile. When the technology improved, the machines were widely used on streets all across North America. The machines are now more efficient and environmentally friendly. They are also easier to use and operate. Simply put, the power sweeper is used to keep streets and other areas clean. Here is a closer look at how the sweepers are being used today.
Commercial & Retail Sites
The owners of commercial and retail sites benefit greatly when they use power sweeper services. Owners can hire an outside company to clean their sites on a scheduled basis or by paying a one-time fee for the service based on the size of the property. Keep in mind that power sweeping usually involves cleaning the top of the concrete. In the process, the concrete or asphalt becomes cleaner. For example, today McRae’s uses these machines to clean sites across the Lower Mainland.
Parking Lots & City Streets
The sweeper units can always be used on municipal parking lots and city streets. Many of the fleet of McRae’s power sweeping machines are used on parking lots and city streets in your very community. However, there are portable units and indoor units. The indoor units are used to clean very large concrete warehouse floors. On the other hand, industrial companies and industrial parks can clean their work places safe and their employees safe by using the power sweeper to remove debris.
Driveways & Road Repairs
You can clean residential driveways with a sweeper. Strata and private communities can hire our power sweepers to spring clean their streets from the Sea-to-sky highway all the way out to the Okanagan valley. A unit can pick-up almost any type of trash. Some of the sweepers are large and some are small. Some of the units can travel up to 70 miles per hour. Moreover, sweeper drives can use the trucks to help repair roads. There are machines that specifically designed to remove gravel and dirt.
Finally, it does make sense to use power sweeping machines for cleaning shopping centers, construction sites, office complexes and other types of sites. These machines are good for the environment because they remove chemicals, dirt, trash, oil, and other harmful agents.
