Hydro vacuum services explained

Hydro vacuum work is less familiar than trenching or pipe repair, so it is worth explaining what it covers.

A vacuum truck uses a powerful pump to pull material through a large hose into a sealed tank. With the right attachments it can remove water, sludge, sediment, gravel and debris from places that are hard to reach otherwise: pits, sumps, trench drains, catch basins, storm structures, vaults and tanks.

Common reasons to call for it:

• cleaning storm inlets and structures so they drain again;
• emptying pits and sumps before inspection or repair;
• removing sediment from trench drains in loading areas;
• supporting hydro excavation, where the same truck removes soil loosened by pressurized water.

What can be removed, and how the material is handled afterwards, depends on what it is and on the owner's requirements; we settle both with you as part of the scope.

We also install and repair water, sewer, storm and conduit lines for homeowners, businesses, industrial sites and public owners.

One-call notice

Sunshine 811 receives locate requests under Chapter 556, Florida Statutes, before any excavation. Florida law requires at least two full business days of notice before digging, weekends and holidays excluded, and a ticket lasts 30 calendar days (section 556.105).
