“Working with Concrete Washout Systems allows us to be more environmentally conscious, provides better containment of our washout material and keeps our jobsites free of the mess generated by washing down cementitious equipment. They were able to drop a concrete washout box on site, which allowed not only our ready mix concrete trucks to washout, but allowed our concrete and stucco workers to wash down all their tools. We have limited room to work with on all our jobsites so space is a precious commodity that we can't afford to give up.

We will certainly be calling on them to assist us on future projects."Alan Luxmore, On-site Project Manager for ABC Extreme Makeover: Home Edition |
