We listened to what he said and will be hiring Meeks to do the job.

What is a vac truck?
A vac truck – short for vacuum truck – is a specialized vehicle that uses a powerful vacuum system to suck up dirt, debris, sludge, and even liquid waste. Some of our trucks are also equipped for hydro excavation, using high-pressure water to break up soil before vacuuming it away.
They’re an essential part of our plumbing toolbox when it comes to:
Lift Station Cleaning and Restoration
Septic System Maintenance
Sewer Line and Storm Drain Cleaning
Hydro Excavation for Utility Work
Debris Removal After Flooding
Pond and Catch Basin Cleaning
Why Use a Vac Truck?
Vac trucks aren’t just big and loud – they’re smart. They help us work faster, cleaner, and safer, especially when digging near sensitive infrastructure like underground utilities.
They’re ideal for:
- Safe Excavation: When we need to expose pipes or cables without damaging them.
- Efficiency: Removing sludge, water, or soil quickly and completely.
- Emergency Response: Perfect for rapid cleanup during storms or flooding.
- Municipal Jobs: Keeping streets, sewer lines, and storm drains in working order.

“Meeks has done wonders for me over the years! This week cleaned my septic tank. Had no idea where the hole was to clean. They came 2–3 times and found it!!!”
