Our Vacuum Tanker Service

By using the latest vacuum drain clearing equipment, no blocked drain is impossible for us to clear. Occasionally high pressured water jetting cannot shift the toughest of blockages, but our drain vacuuming tanker is able to suck up the most stubborn of obstacles. The vacuum suction is ideal for clearing blockages at both residential and industrial sites as no job is too big or small. Have you recently had building work done? The vacuum tanker is extremely effective at removing industrial or building waste from drains.

Compact Vacuum Tankers For All Areas

Our vacuum tanker is compact and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for use on construction or industrial sites. The vacuum’s capability is key in working in conjunction with commercial CCTV drainage surveys. It allows us to clear the drains before commencing surveys, giving our engineers clearer images and unrestricted access through the drainage runs.

A vacuum tanker is a specialised vehicle used to transport and remove liquid waste, such as sewage or industrial effluent, from a variety of locations. It has a powerful vacuum pump that sucks up the waste and stores it in a large tank on the vehicle.

We offer a range of vacuum tanker services, including septic tank emptying, drain cleaning, waste removal, and emergency spill response. We also provide liquid waste disposal and treatment services. Please contact us for further information.

You should have your septic tank emptied on a regular basis, depending on the size of the tank and the number of people using it. A good rule of thumb is to have it emptied every 2-3 years, but this can vary. Signs that your septic tank needs emptying include slow draining sinks and toilets, foul odors, and standing water around the tank.

We take great care to dispose of liquid waste safely and responsibly, in accordance with all relevant environmental regulations. Depending on the type of waste, we may take it to a treatment facility or a transfer station, or arrange for it to be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

Using our jetvac combination, we can vacuum your carpark gullies and then jetter blast them clear to ensure they are in the best condition for you and your customers.

Providing Specialist Drain Vacuum Tanker Services

What are vacuum tanks used for?

Vacuum tanker services are used for a variety of purposes. They can be used for removing stubborn blockages or to allow better access to blockages in flooded manholes. In large concrete car parks there are often grids in the floor to help water drain away. These lead to drains which are usually exposed and can get easily blocked. Vacuum tanker services are very effective in cleaning car park gullies.

Combination Tanker Jetting

Drain vacuuming combined with the benefits of high pressure water jetting is the most effective way to unblock drains. Whether it be building material, gravel, sand, silt or sewage, it can be removed in a timely manner with minimal intrusion, mess or hassle. We are different from many other drainage companies who only use high-pressured jetting or rods to remove blockages, at Mersey Rod we employ a range of equipment so we can effectively tackle all your drainage problems. We are fully licensed to dispose of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.

Emergency Flood Response

Our ability to pump and clear water into our tanker allows us to quickly and efficiently alleviate flooding in places such as basements. Floods can happen no matter what precautions have been taken, and can cause irreversible, costly damage to fixtures and fittings. Sludge and mess can remain in your property creating further problems. Our vacuuming service can quickly clear the flood and the resulting debris, as well as clear any drains to facilitate the draining of water.

Car Parks and Businesses

Our vacuum tanker services are ideal for clearing blocked and overflowing drains in carparks. Often, these drains require more than just high-pressured jetting or rodding, as they collect a much larger quantity of debris and rubbish compared to smaller drains – this is where vacuum removal services are required. Our vacuum tankers are available 24/7 and can clear drains in a fast and efficient manner, leaving your carpark or business premises free from blocked drains.
