The Basics of Manholes and Sump Pits
Manholes and sump pits can be filled with a wide range of waste materials, including sludge, grease, oil, waste fluids from machinery, coolants, human waste, and more. Because of this, businesses often rely on professionals for cleaning. Specialists like Sun Environmental Corp. can use their experience and the tools and technologies at their disposal to ensure that the industrial cleaning jobs are done right.
Manholes allow access to underground systems, which may include areas where sewage has built up. Sump pits (also known as sump basins), on the other hand, are holes built into the ground that industrial facilities may use to collect excess liquids, chemicals, or wastewater, allowing for proper drainage. Due to their purpose, these areas tend to get dirty. Sump pit and manhole cleaning services require specialized equipment and supplies, which is why the experts at Sun Environmental Corp. should be called upon.
Our Manhole and Sump Cleaning Services
At Sun Environmental Corp., our team of specialists is prepared for in-depth cleaning jobs thanks to our comprehensive training. Our dependable cleaning routine starts with a thorough evaluation of your space. This helps our professionals better understand what substances they will be dealing with and which tools they will need. Once a plan is in place, we can get to work.
We can handle the rigors of confined space entry. Our team has the experience needed to enter a variety of tight spaces, including underground manholes, catch basins, tanks, vaults, pits, silos, and other areas that may require a permit to enter. This part of the job isn’t just about experience but having the right gear as well. Our experts have the protective gear they need to help prevent health issues.
We also have the equipment necessary to handle these jobs, whether they are big or small. We own and maintain a fleet of vacuum trucks that our specialists use during cleaning. These trucks are designed with powerful vacuum pumps to suck up dry, liquid, or sludge waste. This waste is then transported to an attached containment tank that not only safely houses the materials until the process is complete but also allows easy disposal. Our company also makes sure to provide the proper documentation and shipping paperwork, assuring our customers that our work has left their facilities compliant with state and federal regulations.
How Does This Process Help?
Getting these cleaning and maintenance services done regularly offers several benefits that business owners should know about, including:
- Preventing bigger problems: Leaving any area that collects and stores oils, chemicals, and other substances unaddressed for long periods of time can lead to blockages, backups, and overflows. This can result in flooding and an unsanitary work environment.
- Minimizing odors: Manholes and sump pits can accumulate odorous materials over time. The longer they are left to fester, the less pleasant it will smell in the surrounding space. Letting them go without routine cleanings can cause these odors to find their way into other work areas.
- Avoiding legal complications: Industrial facilities have a lot of rules and regulations to follow, and ignoring them could result in fines or other legal penalties. Ensuring your manholes and sump pits are thoroughly cleaned as needed can help keep your facility compliant.
