Digester Tank Cleaning in Jacksonville, FL

At Metro Rooter, our Municipal Digester Tank Cleaning service employs a fleet of state-of-the-art jet-vac combo trucks designed specifically for digester cleaning. Through a combination of high-pressure water jetting and industrial-strength vacuums, our crews break up and wash all material out of a digester to allow more material to build up in the tank. During the service, we’ll inspect the digester tank, replace the cover (making sure it fits properly and is in good condition), and report any defects to the cover or the tank.

Storm water system catch basins, also known as storm drains or curb inlets, are openings for storm and rainwater to drain systems that catch debris and sediments through a grate or sump. Unlike water that goes down the drains of homes or commercial buildings, the water in catch basins does not undergo a filtration process before reaching local lakes, streams, or the ocean. If a catch basin gets clogged with sticks, trash, and whatever might be floating down the street or across a parking lot, the drainage system is compromised, creating problems and possible fines for municipalities, towns, and cities.

We’ll prevent or fix these issues by thoroughly cleaning and removing unwanted accumulation utilizing our state-of-the-art equipment.  No job is too big or too small for our highly trained technicians.

Benefits of Regular Catch Basin Cleaning

1. Flood Prevention
One of the primary reasons to clean your catch basins regularly is to prevent flooding. When catch basins become clogged, water cannot drain properly, leading to overflow and potential flooding during heavy rainstorms.

2. Improved Water Quality
Catch basins play a critical role in filtering pollutants and debris from stormwater before it enters local waterways. Regular cleaning helps improve water quality by reducing the amount of contaminants that pass through the drainage system.

3. Reduced Property Damage
Blocked catch basins can cause water to pool around your property, leading to potential foundation damage, erosion, and other costly repairs. Routine cleaning helps mitigate these risks by ensuring proper drainage.

4. Avoidance of Costly Repairs
Regular maintenance of your catch basins can prevent larger, more expensive repairs down the road. By addressing minor issues early on, you can avoid major drainage problems that require extensive work to fix.
