How Our Products Prevent The Need to Clean Valves Ever Again
Valve boxes exist in every city, they are all over the place and they do not just sit there serving their purpose, they must be maintained. Because of their location and exposure to elements they can get water, dirt, and debris caught in them which can lead to a variety of problems. For example, damage from erosion can occur if left unattended which can lead to a snowball effect of problems. If erosion occurs, replacement of certain parts may be required, hazardous service may be required or, in the event of an emergency, significant damage can occur to property as well as potential injuries to residents. There are a wide variety of products available on the market to make cleaning valve risers easier. But, rather than buying product after product trying to keep valve risers clean, why not invest in a product that solves the problem altogether. At SW Services, we have carefully designed the Debris Cap to keep valve risers free of dirt and debris, forever!
The debris cap is a simple, cost-effective solution that, once installed, solves the problem of valves and pipes becoming dirty. Easy and quick to retrofit, debris caps are installed fast and start working right away. It is easy to locate buried caps with our 3M locator coil. Additionally, because we know each of our clients have a unique set of needs, you can color code your system to make it work best for your city or municipality. By installing debris caps, dirt and debris cannot get into valves and pipes which will cut your liability, insurance and maintenance costs. If you were to implement tools to clean valve boxes, each utility worker would need a set of those tools which would be costly. Additionally, tools can easily get lost or damaged which would necessitate replacement. Cleaning tools are far from a permanent fix to the problem. Debris caps are the permanent fix you have been looking for and will make it so that you never have to clean valves or pipes again. This will save a lot of time and money because your utility workers will no longer need to frequently service valves but will have the peace of mind knowing that they are safe and protected. This is not the only way they save money though, they save money by preventing potential damage to not only valves, but surrounding property as well, that would likely occur without them. Choose the permanent solution by implementing debris caps in your city.
