SERVICES
Vacuum services built around the site.
Every pump-out begins with the same questions: what is the material, how much is there, where is it located, how can it be accessed, and where can it be lawfully handled? TotalVac reviews those details first, then coordinates the right service approach for approved non-hazardous liquid waste.

Grease Trap Cleaning
Grease traps collect fats, oils, grease, water, and food solids before they reach the drainage system. Routine pump-outs help reduce odours, slow drainage, backups, and avoidable disruption in busy food-service environments.
Who it is for
Food-service operators who need a predictable trap service without disrupting prep, service hours or deliveries.
Common signs service is needed
- Slow drainage at kitchen sinks or floor drains
- Odours near the trap, drain lines or loading area
- Visible grease accumulation at the trap lid or inspection point
- The last recorded pump-out was longer ago than the site interval
- A property or municipal requirement calls for documented service
What to provide
- Trap location and access point
- Approximate trap size or capacity, if known
- Preferred service window
- Date of the last pump-out, if known
- Anything unusual in the trap contents
What to expect
A confirmed service window, a pump-out of the accepted trap contents, a visual check of the access point, and confirmation once the work is complete.
CATCH BASIN SERVICE
Catch Basin Cleaning
Catch basins collect water, sediment, leaves, and debris from paved areas and stormwater systems. Periodic cleaning helps preserve capacity and reduces the chance that accumulated material contributes to slow drainage, odours, or pooling.
Who it is for
Property managers, plaza owners and site supervisors responsible for drainage performance across paved areas.
Common signs service is needed
- Water pooling around the basin grate after rainfall
- Sediment, gravel or leaves visible at the grate
- Odours near drainage points
- Drainage that clears noticeably slower than it used to
- A seasonal or property maintenance interval is due
What to provide
- Number of basins requiring service
- Site address and where each basin sits on the property
- Known access restrictions or traffic considerations
- Any recent spills or unusual material
- Approximate basin depth, if known
What to expect
A reviewed scope, a coordinated service window, removal of accepted material from each identified basin, and confirmation when the work is complete.
LIQUID WASTE
Liquid Waste Removal
TotalVac provides vacuum removal for accepted non-hazardous liquid waste from accessible commercial, industrial, property, and worksite locations. Every request is reviewed for material type, volume, access, equipment fit, and disposal requirements before scheduling.
Who it is for
Facility, property and site teams that have accumulated liquid to remove and need the material reviewed before anything is scheduled.
Common signs service is needed
- A tank, pit or containment area is at or near capacity
- Wash water or process water has collected and cannot drain
- A liquid needs to leave the site before the next operating day
- A cleanout is planned and the contents need to be removed first
- You are not certain what the liquid is and need it reviewed
What to provide
- Source of the liquid and known contents
- Approximate volume
- Access point and hose distance, if known
- Any safety data sheets or material documentation available
- Preferred timing and urgency
What to expect
A review of the material and access details, written confirmation of whether the request is accepted, a coordinated service window, and confirmation once removal is complete.
Not sure what the liquid contains? Do not guess. Share the available material information or safety documentation before booking.
TANKS, SUMPS AND PITS
Tank and Sump Pump-Outs
When liquid and sediment accumulate in an accessible tank, sump, pit, or interceptor, TotalVac can review the contents, access conditions, and service requirements for a controlled vacuum pump-out.
Who it is for
Facility and maintenance teams with accessible systems that fill over time and need controlled removal rather than improvised pumping.
Common signs service is needed
- A high level alarm or float has activated
- Sediment has reduced the working volume of the sump or tank
- A planned cleanout or inspection requires the contents removed first
- Odours or overflow at the access point
- A recurring interval has passed since the last pump-out
What to provide
- System type and approximate capacity
- Contents and how the system is used
- Access point location and hose distance, if known
- Lid, grate or hatch type and whether it is already open
- Preferred service window
What to expect
A review of contents and access, a confirmed service window, vacuum removal of the accepted contents from outside the system, and confirmation when the work is complete.
Service is performed from outside the system. TotalVac does not perform confined-space entry.
SITE DEWATERING
Site Dewatering
TotalVac supports approved dewatering needs where standing water can be safely reached by vacuum hose and handled through an accepted discharge or disposal route. Each request is reviewed for water quality, volume, access and handling requirements before it is scheduled.
Who it is for
Site supervisors, trades and facility teams who need water cleared from a work area before the next stage of work.
Common signs service is needed
- Water is sitting in an excavation, pit or low point
- A work area cannot be accessed safely until the water is removed
- Water has collected in a mechanical room or service area
- Rainfall or a leak has left more water than a small pump can clear
- An inspection or pour is scheduled and the area must be dry
What to provide
- Where the water is and how it collected
- Approximate volume and depth
- Visible sediment, sheen, odour or suspected contamination
- Access route for the hose and vehicle positioning
- How soon the area needs to be clear
What to expect
A review of the water and the site, confirmation of whether the request can be accepted, a coordinated arrival, and removal of the approved water from the accessible area.
Dewatering availability depends on water quality, sediment, contamination risk, access, volume, and local discharge or disposal requirements.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Recurring service, planned around the site.
Recurring maintenance can reduce last-minute service calls and make scheduling easier for the people who run the property. Intervals are proposed from usage, capacity and what the equipment shows at each visit.
What a maintenance plan covers
- The systems included and where they are on the property
- A proposed service interval for each system
- The information needed before each visit
- Preferred service windows and access arrangements
- A review point to adjust the interval as conditions change
Service availability depends on material type, volume, access, site conditions, equipment fit, and approved disposal options. TotalVac confirms acceptance before work is scheduled.
