Commercial Hydro-Vac & Environmental Vacuum Services

Environmental Vacuum Solutions provides commercial hydro-vac, high-flow thermal washing, vacuum recovery, and contained wastewater services for contractors, property managers, industrial facilities, transportation operations, and infrastructure projects throughout the Greater Seattle and Puget Sound region.

These services are currently available through Champion Power Washing while Environmental Vacuum Solutions LLC develops its dedicated website and expands as a sister company. The goal is to give commercial customers access to specialized hydro-vac and environmental recovery capabilities now, with a dedicated Environmental Vacuum Solutions resource coming soon.

Our compact system combines high-flow hot water washing at 10 to 20 GPM and up to 3,000 PSI, temperatures up to 250°F, and an 800-gallon sealed vacuum recovery system. This combination allows crews to wash, excavate, recover slurry, and contain non-hazardous wastewater in a controlled workflow without relying on the mobilization requirements of much larger municipal vacuum trucks.

Serving Commercial Projects Across Greater Seattle

Our services are designed for projects where precision, wastewater containment, restricted access, or fast mobilization matter. From utility daylighting and drainage maintenance to industrial washouts and spill recovery, the equipment is designed to support commercial work while helping contain runoff, slurry, and debris throughout the Puget Sound region, including Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and surrounding communities.

Commercial Infrastructure & Environmental Hydro-Vac Services

Closed-Loop High-Flow Washing, Precision Excavation & Wastewater Recovery

Industrial cleaning and excavation work can create more than dirt. Slurry, sediment, wash water, grease, drilling mud, and other non-hazardous material may also need to be captured and removed from the site. Our closed-loop approach combines controlled washing with vacuum recovery so material can be collected as work progresses rather than being allowed to migrate across the property or toward storm drains.

Because the equipment is compact compared with large municipal vacuum trucks, it can be a practical option for commercial sites with tighter access, shorter-duration projects, or work that does not justify large mobilization minimums.

Hydro-Excavation & Precision Utility Daylighting

Hydro-excavation uses controlled water and vacuum suction to expose buried infrastructure without relying solely on mechanical excavation. It is particularly useful when contractors need to visually verify the location or depth of utilities before excavation, trenching, boring, or other construction activity. Hydro-excavation can also support utility daylighting within marked tolerance zones, allowing contractors to visually verify buried infrastructure before mechanical excavation proceeds nearby.

• Utility Daylighting / Potholing: Controlled exposure of buried gas, telecommunications, fiber-optic, electrical, and other utility lines before mechanical excavation.
• Private Line Locating Support: Physical exposure and depth confirmation for private utilities located beyond public meters or standard utility-marking responsibilities.
• Slot Trenching: Precision excavation of narrow 4-to-6-inch paths for conduit, cable, or similar installations while limiting unnecessary disturbance around the trench.
• Directional Boring Mud Recovery: Vacuum removal and containment of bentonite drilling mud and slurry from boring pits, staging areas, and active work zones.
• Micro-Trench & Saw Slurry Cleanup: Direct recovery of concrete slurry, silica-containing fines, and residual material generated during diamond sawing and micro-trenching operations.

Commercial Drainage, Sump & High-Flow Pipe Jetting

Commercial drainage systems can collect grease, sediment, leaves, mud, roots, and other material that restricts flow or makes access difficult. Environmental Vacuum Solutions combines high-flow jetting with vacuum recovery to clear, flush, and remove accumulated material from a variety of commercial drainage systems.

• High-Flow Sewer & Drain Jetting: Up to 20 GPM of approximately 150°F hot water at up to 3,000 PSI can be used to break down grease, scaling, and other buildup in common 4-to-12-inch commercial mains when appropriate for the line and blockage.
• Catch Basin & Storm Vault Cleaning: Vacuum removal of leaves, mud, gravel, trash, and sediment from parking lot catch basins and stormwater vaults.
• Oil-Water Separator & Trench Pumping: Removal of sediment and non-hazardous liquid buildup from mechanic bays, wash racks, sand traps, floor trenches, and collection systems.
• Grease Trap & Interceptor Maintenance: Pumping and high-temperature cleaning support for commercial grease interceptors and related systems.
• Water Meter Box & Vault Clearing: Vacuum removal of standing water, silt, mud, and accumulated debris to improve access to utility components.

Transport Fleet, Tank & Industrial Vacuum Services

Transportation, maritime, logistics, and industrial facilities often require cleaning methods that can handle oils, residue, confined compartments, heavy sediment, or material that cannot simply be washed onto the surrounding pad. Our mobile system combines thermal washing and sealed recovery for these more specialized applications.

• Pre-Inspection Transport Tank Flushes: High-volume hot-water and steam-mode flushing up to 250°F to remove asphalt oils, chemical residue, and other buildup before air or hydrostatic testing.
• Closed-Loop Camlock Tank Flushing: Vacuum recovery connected directly to compatible bottom-discharge valves during washing to help contain liquids and residue at the source.
• Bilge & Bulkhead Muck Extraction: Vacuum recovery of stagnant water, oily residue, sediment, and heavy muck from commercial vessel compartments and similar confined areas.
• Industrial Boiler & Sump Pit Washouts: Thermal washing and vacuum recovery of scale, sediment, wastewater, and accumulated debris from industrial reservoirs, boiler areas, and sump pits.

Environmental Spill Response & Wastewater Reclaim

Environmental Vacuum Solutions also provides contained recovery for non-hazardous spills and wastewater generated during commercial cleaning, maintenance, and industrial activity.

The objective is straightforward: capture liquid and debris before it spreads across the property or reaches a stormwater system, then transport the recovered non-hazardous material for appropriate handling.

• Zero-Runoff Wash Water Recovery: Contained pressure washing and vacuum reclaim for parking structures, warehouses, commercial pads, loading areas, and other sites where uncontrolled wash water is a concern.
• Rapid Non-Hazardous Spill Containment: Recovery of qualifying non-hazardous liquid spills such as latex paint, wet concrete slurry, industrial soaps, wash water, and greywater.
• Dry Material & Manufacturing Grit Recovery: Vacuum removal of sandblasting grit, spilled grain, heavy manufacturing dust, and similar dry material from commercial and industrial floors.

Closed-Loop Recovery For Sensitive Commercial Sites

The Puget Sound region has extensive stormwater infrastructure and environmentally sensitive waterways. For commercial work that generates wash water, sediment, or slurry, controlling where that material goes is an important part of the project.

Our workflow can include direct tool recovery, vacuum containment, controlled pumping, and transport of non-hazardous wastewater so the work area stays contained from the beginning of the job through final cleanup.

When a project requires dedicated exterior wash-water containment, learn more about our water reclamation services.

How The Environmental Vacuum Process Works

1. Site Review & Access Planning

We review the work area, access points, utilities, drainage paths, and the type of material that needs to be removed or recovered.

2. Containment & Recovery Setup

The vacuum system, hoses, recovery tools, and other containment equipment are positioned based on the project conditions and available access.

3. Washing, Jetting Or Excavation

Water temperature, flow, pressure, and tooling are selected according to the material being removed and the surface, soil, pipe, or equipment being serviced.

4. Vacuum Recovery

Liquids, slurry, sediment, drilling mud, debris, or other qualifying material are recovered into the sealed vacuum system as work progresses.

5. Removal & Documentation

Recovered non-hazardous material is transported for appropriate handling, and service documentation can be provided for the completed work.

The Champion Compliance Documentation Process

Commercial customers often need more than a clean work area. They also need documentation showing how recovered wastewater or other non-hazardous material was handled.

For applicable commercial extraction services, Environmental Vacuum Solutions provides a Non-Hazardous Liquid Waste Manifest documenting the generation, collection, transport, and handling of recovered material. This creates a clearer service record for facility managers, contractors, and other stakeholders responsible for maintaining project documentation.
