Preventive cleaning of scuppers
The scuppers are the necessary drainage element to keep green spaces in good condition, as well as the urban area and districts.
The technicians perform these works periodically and whenever there is a risk of heavy rains, the work intensifies.
The work consists of eliminating the possible leaves, residues or earth that are inside and that can block them so that they are prepared for any specific rainy episode.
