Magnetic Nail Sweepers
Magnetic Nail Sweepers
Roofing work drops loose nails and fasteners into the yard, no matter how careful a crew is. Our magnetic nail sweepers pass over the driveway, lawn, and beds at the end of every day on site, pulling up stray metal before it becomes a flat tire, a cut foot, or a problem for a mower blade.
Why It Matters
Tear-offs and re-decking involve pulling old fasteners and driving new ones by the thousands. Even with pry bars and nail pullers used to lift the old nails cleanly instead of pounding them flat, some fall free during the work. A magnetic sweep catches what the eye misses.
Part of the Daily Routine
- End-of-day pass — the yard, driveway, and planting beds are swept before the crew leaves, not just at the final walkthrough.
- Paired with cleanup — landscape protection tarps limit debris underfoot, and leaf blowers clear the roof and grounds the same visit.
- Debris leaves with us — tear-off material and old fasteners go into a roll-off dumpster or dump trailer on site, not into a pile in the yard.
