Our Vacuum Truck Services

Hydro Excavation

Hydro excavation combines pressurized water and powerful vacuum technology to safely expose underground utilities and excavate soil without damaging critical infrastructure. This non-destructive method is ideal for utility locating, potholing, trenching support, and construction projects.

Environmental Cleanup

Our vacuum trucks support environmental remediation projects by safely removing contaminated materials, sludge, wastewater, and debris while helping maintain compliance with environmental regulations.

Potholing & Utility Locating

Before excavation begins, vacuum trucks can safely expose underground utilities for verification and inspection. This process helps reduce the risk of utility strikes and project delays.

Tank Cleaning

We provide cleaning and waste removal services for storage tanks, process tanks, holding tanks, and other containment systems across commercial and industrial facilities.

Commercial Line Jetting

Our team uses high-pressure water jetting and vacuum recovery equipment to remove debris, grease, sediment, and blockages from commercial sewer and drainage systems.

Dewatering Services

Construction sites, utility projects, and industrial facilities often require groundwater removal to maintain safe working conditions. Our vacuum trucks can efficiently remove and transport water from excavation sites and work areas.

Industrial Cleanup

Environmental Works supports industrial facilities with sludge removal, waste collection, equipment cleaning, and facility maintenance services designed to minimize downtime and maintain compliance.

Crawlspace Cleanup

Vacuum truck technology allows for efficient removal of standing water, sediment, debris, and contaminated materials from crawlspaces and confined spaces.

Grease Trap & Interceptor Services

We provide inspection, pumping, cleaning, and disposal services for grease traps and interceptors to help restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food service facilities remain compliant and operational.

Stormwater Services

Our vacuum truck fleet supports catch basin cleaning, storm drain maintenance, drywell cleaning, stormwater vault cleaning, detention pond maintenance, and other stormwater management services.

Septic Pumping

Routine septic pumping helps prevent backups, protect drainfields, and extend the life of septic systems. We provide septic pumping services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
