Blocked drains. Overflowing stormwater pits. Flood-prone assets.
These are common problems across Melbourne’s council-managed networks — and vac trucks are the fastest way to keep things moving.
We work with councils, facility managers and civil contractors to maintain pits, culverts, and drainage systems from Footscray to Dandenong.
Here are four critical ways vacuum trucks support public infrastructure and urban maintenance in Melbourne.
1. Stormwater Pit Cleaning
From suburban intersections to underground carparks, stormwater pit maintenance is a must.
Our vac trucks help:
- Remove sediment and leaf build-up
- Prevent localised flooding after heavy rainfall
- Keep CBD and metro drain networks compliant
This includes regular pit cleaning for schools, strata managers, shopping centres and councils. Learn more about our wet waste and pit services.
2. Drain and Culvert Maintenance
Suburbs like Moonee Ponds, Yarraville and Altona are full of root-invaded and silted drains.
We support:
- Gross pollutant trap (GPT) cleaning
- Pre-inspection clearing
- Seasonal drain preparation
- Kerb inlet maintenance in commercial zones
Whether it’s a council contract or a one-off job for a maintenance provider, our vac trucks are more effective than jetting alone.
3. Non-Destructive Excavation Around Trees or Utilities
Vacuum excavation is often required near:
- Street trees
- Gas meters
- Heritage assets
- Underground services
We support non-destructive digging for local councils and contractors who want to protect infrastructure without damaging surfaces.
4. Emergency Response After Storm Events
Melbourne weather can turn fast — and when it does, you need a vac truck ready.
We assist with:
- Overflowing stormwater pits
- Pit cleanouts post-flood
- Night or weekend emergency calls
- Clearing blockages before inspections
