Hydrovac excavation in Vernon and Coldstream

We’ve completed more than 350 hydrovac jobs at more than 200 Vernon sites since 2020, including more than 90 in the 12 months to October 2026, plus more than 30 in Coldstream. Contractors, utilities, municipalities and property owners use our trucks to daylight buried lines before they dig, cut narrow trenches beside existing services, dig clean holes for footings, poles and signs, and collect slurry on drilling jobs.

A hydrovac digs with pressurized water and a vacuum instead of a bucket, so it can work right beside gas lines, water mains and fibre without striking them. Our trucks carry 10-inch booms and up to 200 feet of remote hose for tight sites and hillside lots, and heated water cuts through frozen ground in a North Okanagan winter. Request locates through BC 1 Call before any dig. Read our hydrovac excavation guide or see our hydrovac truck services.

Grease trap cleaning in Vernon

Most commercial traps need cleaning every 30 to 90 days. We pump out the fats, oils, grease and food solids, use hot water jetting where buildup is heavy, and can set up a recurring schedule. See grease trap cleaning and disposal.

Sewer flusher truck

Our sewer flusher truck has completed more than 130 jobs in Vernon since 2020. It clears and cleans sanitary and storm lines six inches and larger, augers out roots, washes and vacuums catch basins, manholes and dry wells, and prepares new lines for video inspection. See our sewer flusher truck page.

Septic pumping in Vernon and Coldstream

Our septic service area runs from Vernon to Peachland. In Vernon, a standard septic tank (up to 800 gallons) starts at $450 plus GST; Vernon’s lower disposal cost keeps the price down. We’ve completed more than 300 septic jobs at more than 200 Vernon properties since 2020, including more than 30 in the 12 months to October 2026, plus more than 50 in Coldstream. Every pump-out includes cleaning the effluent filter if your tank has one, and we can add risers so future pump-outs don’t need digging. Full details are on our Vernon septic pumping page.
