Wastewater Services
Vacuum Truck Services
High-capacity vacuum trucks for industrial liquid waste removal, tank cleaning, spill response, and site dewatering. Powerful equipment, experienced operators, rapid deployment from 15 hubs.
The Basics
Vacuum Truck Services
When you need to remove liquid waste, sludge, debris, or contaminated material from a site, a vacuum truck is the right equipment for the job. SouthWaste operates a fleet of industrial-grade vacuum trucks serving commercial, industrial, and municipal clients across the country. Our licensed vac truck operators handle everything from routine sewer cleaning and catch basin cleanout to emergency spill response and pit evacuation — safely, quickly, and in full compliance with applicable disposal regulations.
What SouthWaste Vacuum Trucks Do
Our vacuum trucks apply high-powered suction to pull liquids, slurries, sludges, and semi-solid waste into an enclosed tank for transport and licensed disposal. The combination of mechanical vacuum force and versatile hose configurations allows our vac trucks to reach pits, tanks, manholes, lift stations, and confined-space openings that other equipment cannot access.
Standard vacuum truck services include:
- Industrial liquid waste removal — pumping and hauling wastewater, process effluent, sump contents, and other liquid waste streams from manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and industrial sites
- Sewer cleaning and jetting — clearing blockages and maintaining flow capacity in municipal and private sewer lines using combination vacuum and high-pressure water
- Catch basin and storm drain cleanout — removing accumulated sediment, debris, and standing water from catch basins, inlets, and stormwater infrastructure
- Lift station service — routine pumping, wet well cleanout, and emergency response for sewage lift and pump stations
- Pit and tank cleaning — evacuating oil-water separators, clarifiers, collection pits, underground storage tanks, and industrial sumps
- Spill and emergency response — rapid mobilization for liquid spills, stormwater contamination events, and unplanned releases

Equipment and Capabilities
SouthWaste’s vac truck fleet is sized and configured for commercial and industrial work. Our trucks include combination hydrovac and vacuum tanker units capable of handling a wide range of material types — from clean water and thin slurries to thick sludge, grit, and semi-solid waste. Key capabilities include:
- High-capacity vacuum tanks ranging from 2,000 to 5,000+ gallons
- Industrial vacuum pumps producing consistent high-suction force for deep lifts
- Extended hose reach for remote pits, confined spaces, and below-grade structures
- Combination units equipped with high-pressure water systems for simultaneous jetting and vacuum
- Licensed transport for municipal, industrial, and hazardous-grade liquid waste streams
All SouthWaste operators are licensed and trained for both safe operation and proper waste disposal through permitted treatment and disposal facilities.
Why Hire a Licensed Vac Truck Company
Liquid waste transport and disposal is regulated at the state and federal level. Unlicensed haulers or improper disposal can expose your business to significant regulatory liability — fines, remediation costs, and permit violations that follow your organization for years. When you hire SouthWaste for vacuum truck services, you’re working with a company that:
- Holds liquid waste hauler licenses in every state we operate
- Disposes of material through permitted facilities in compliance with EPA, TCEQ, FDEP, and applicable state regulations
- Provides documentation of lawful disposal for your records
- Carries appropriate insurance coverage for industrial waste handling
- Responds promptly to scheduled service and emergency calls
