Sidewalk cleaning Chicago
Sidewalk and drainage chokeups are the main problems for gutter.Many times the roof design of house requires a downspout in an inconvenient location.In colder climates water from gutters draining into a sidewalk entranceway can be dangerous as the water will freeze making a slip and fall hazard.Draining the water into a flower bed between the house and the walk is not n option because the concrete or brick pavers will act like a dam,holding water against the basement wall and contributing to wet and leaking basements.
A cross sidewalk drain is designed to carry away rainwater from down spouts safely and discreetly across the sidewalk,driveway.If we are working with an existing sidewalk it will require some concrete block cutting.The heavy power tools needed to make clean and accurate cuts are available at our local tool and equipment rental store.Make sure that we have enough slopes on the CSD so the water will drain properly under the sidewalk.
