What is stormwater and why does it matter? Stormwater is rain or snowmelt that doesn't soak into the ground but flows over impervious surfaces like roads, rooftops, and sidewalks. It often carries pollutants like oil, chemicals, and debris into local water bodies. #StormWaterAwarenessWeek #CleanWaterMatters

NEW BLOG: Prevent Stormwater Pollution: Only Rain Should Go in the Storm Drain Stormwater runoff is a major cause of water pollution in the United States. As it flows, it collects dirt, trash, oil, grease, chemicals, and other pollutants. Since stormwater runoff is not treated, these pollutants are carried into waterways, canals, parks, community lakes, retention basins, and dry wells. #stormwaterawarenessweek https://lnkd.in/g2bvrH6q

Our waterways are not trashbins! Let's keep them clean and thriving by keeping waste out. When we dump trash in our rivers, it comes back to haunt us. Protect our waterways, protect our future. #CleanWaterForAll #CleanWaterMatters #StopOceanPollution #StopRiverPollution #CleanerFuture #ProtectOurWaterways

We all think about where clean water will come from, but we don’t consider where that same water will go after it gets polluted. More important than sourcing and saving water is figuring out where the dirty water will go. Currently, wastewater from homes and factories is being dumped into rivers and lakes, polluting them and contaminating groundwater as well.

Before the snow and rain roll in, it’s essential to keep your drainage systems in top shape. Jet washing is the perfect solution to clear debris from gutters, drainage channels, and sumps, preventing water backups and costly leaks. By staying proactive, you’ll avoid potential damage, keep your site running smoothly, and minimize environmental impact. A small step now saves big headaches later! Is your site winter-ready? Let’s talk about how we can help. 💧 #WinterPrep #JetWashing #DrainageSolutions #SustainableSites
