FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions – Road Maintenance, Sweeping & Hydro Excavation Services.
Where do you fill up water for power washing and hydro excavation in Toronto and Durham Region?
We use city-permitted hydrants and approved bulk water stations to ensure safe, compliant water sourcing for hydro excavation and power washing services across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Durham Region.
Do your street sweepers use water while sweeping roads and parking lots?
Yes, all our street sweeping equipment uses water during operation. This helps control dust and ensures effective, eco-friendly cleaning of roads, construction sites, and commercial parking lots.
Do you offer after-hours parking lot sweeping services?
Absolutely. A1 Road Maintenance provides after-hours and overnight parking lot sweeping services for commercial plazas, retail centers, and industrial properties to reduce disruption and maintain cleanliness.
How do you dispose of hazardous or toxic waste during hydro excavation?
We follow all Ministry of the Environment and safety protocols for hazardous waste disposal. Our hydro excavation services include safe, trackable disposal methods and we can provide documentation upon request.
Should I schedule street sweeping before an MOL (Ministry of Labour) inspector visits my construction site?
Yes, scheduling street sweeping before an MOL inspection is highly recommended. A clean construction site reduces inspection issues, saves on last-minute costs, and maintains positive relationships with neighbouring communities.
