Vacuum Truck Services

Commercial Sewer Cleaning provides vacuum truck services across Indianapolis and Central Indiana for liquid waste removal, industrial tank cleaning, and system cleanouts.

These services are used when material can't simply be cleared — it has to be removed.

Sludge, liquids, and debris collect in pits, tanks, and structures over time. When those systems fill up, they stop working the way they should.

Our vacuum trucks are designed to remove that material and restore function.

Common Applications

When Vacuum Truck Services Are Needed

Most calls come in when something is full or no longer operating properly.

That might include:

Sludge pits that have reached capacity Lift stations that need to be cleaned out Stormwater separators filled with sediment and debris Tanks or separators that are no longer functioning efficiently

In commercial and industrial environments, these issues don't stay contained. They affect operations, create sanitation concerns, and can lead to larger system problems if not addressed.

In facilities with kitchen systems, this type of work may also be part of broader maintenance programs that include grease trap cleaning.

Liquid Waste Removal

Vacuum truck services are commonly used for liquid waste removal in systems that collect wastewater, sludge, and process byproducts.

We remove a range of materials, including:

Liquids and wastewater Sludge and slurry Solids and debris

This work is often performed in pits, tanks, oil/water separators, and other containment structures where material needs to be removed safely and efficiently.

Industrial Tank Cleaning

Industrial tank cleaning involves removing accumulated material from tanks used in daily operations.

Over time, tanks collect sludge, wastewater, and process material that can reduce capacity or interfere with performance.

We clean out those systems so they can continue operating as intended.

This includes work in:

Industrial tanks Oil/water separators Process containment systems
Lift Station Cleaning

Over time, material builds up inside lift stations.

Sludge and debris collect as the system runs, and eventually that buildup starts to cause problems.

Cleaning removes that material and helps keep pumps, floats, and controls operating.

Stormwater / BMP Maintenance

Stormwater systems are designed to manage runoff, but they don't maintain themselves.

Catch basins, separators, and other BMP structures collect sediment, debris, and pollutants carried by water.

Over time, that material builds up and reduces how well the system functions.

If it isn't removed, it can lead to drainage issues, standing water, or compliance concerns.

We clean and maintain these structures so they continue doing what they're designed to do.

Catch Basin Cleaning

Everything carried by stormwater has to settle somewhere.

Catch basins collect that material until they fill up and start affecting drainage.

We clear them out so the system can keep up.

Specialty Applications

Beyond Standard Structures

Vacuum truck services are also used in less typical situations where access is limited or material needs to be removed from confined spaces.

This includes:

Elevator shafts Hard-to-reach containment areas Structures requiring controlled material removal

These applications require the right equipment and a careful approach to avoid creating additional problems.

Capabilities

The Equipment Behind the Work

Our vacuum trucks are built to handle a wide range of materials and conditions.

They are capable of removing:

Liquids Sludge Slurries Solids

This allows us to respond to different types of systems without needing multiple approaches.

In some cases, vacuum services are paired with hydro excavation to expose underground utilities or structures before removal begins.

Warning Signs

When to Call

Most customers call when a system is already full or not working the way it should. Addressing these issues early helps prevent larger problems and keeps systems operating more consistently.

Common signs include:

Slow or restricted system performance

Visible buildup in pits or structures

Backups or overflow conditions

Recurring maintenance issues in the same area
