What about street sweepers, snow ploughs and vandalism?

Our customers experience little loss from these hazards. Our tests and testimonials from our customers indicate little to no damage from street sweepers. A snow plough would be capable of scraping off a marker but they have been used extensively in snowbelt areas and customers report very little to no actual loss. A determined vandal can remove a marker. However in over 20 years, there have been very few reports of actual occurrences exceeding 1-2% of markers applied. The benefits of permanent marking with the drain markers far outweigh the risk of occasional loss or damage to the marker due to any of the above factors.
