Ever wonder where all water goes after a good rain? Sure there’s the gutters on your house that make sure the water doesn’t seep down through the walls and come inside and the drain pipes that carry it away, but what about all the rain that falls in the street?

It’s tempting to wash things down off the end of the driveway into the storm drain but we’re all trying to do our best for the planet these days. That means you can be ecofriendly by being aware of what gets washed toward these drains from your property. Remember everything that goes down them will wind up in our lakes and rivers.

When there’s a small mess, usually there’s no problem in cleaning it up yourself. Bigger messes, however, need bigger solutions and that’s where the vacuum truck comes in. These heavy duty workhorses can be called in to clean out the debris in the catch basins and storm sewers so we don’t need to worry about overflows when there are big storms.
