Contact our team today to learn how Hull’s can assist with your vacuum truck services, vacuum tanker services, and vacuum excavation needs.

We’ll Match Your Needs to the Right Industrial Vacuum Equipment

Hull’s owns and operates a fleet of 3,000, 3,300 and 5,000 gallon vacuum trucks and vacuum tankers that are designed and built to remove and transport both hazardous and non-hazardous dry solids, wet product, liquids and sludge.

Vacuum Trucks

Typically used in a commercial or industrial setting, vacuum trucks can pump liquids from catch basins, septic tanks, oil spills, oil/water separators, sewers and storm drains, pits and lagoons, facility trenches and pits.

Vacuum Tankers

At 5,000 gallons, our heavy duty vacuum tankers are designed to pump, hold and transfer liquids and sludges when a typical vacuum truck just doesn't provide enough capacity.

Industrial Loaders

Industrial Vacuum Loaders tackle clean up and recovery of solids and dry bulk powders, liquids, slurries and thick sludge in remote or difficult conditions with ease.

Our experts are always available to assist you as you look to select the optimal industrial vacuum truck services for your needs. We will gather some basic information from you on the type of material you need removed, the location and any other pertinent details to ensure that we provide you with the most efficient and effective vacuum truck services solution. 

Furthermore, our team is highly trained and knowledgeable in all safety protocols and regulations related to industrial vacuum truck equipment. We prioritize safety in all aspects of our operations, from proper handling and disposal of materials to wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) on job sites..

A Pragmatic and Effective Approach Using Vacuum Trucks and Tankers

Hull’s Environmental Services delivers vacuum truck services built for safe, efficient, and compliant material removal across industrial, environmental, and emergency response applications. Our industrial vacuum truck services are used to remove, recover, transport, and dispose of a wide range of materials, including contaminated soil, sludge, slurry, liquids, wastewater, dry solids, fuel, oil, and hazardous or non-hazardous waste streams.

By matching the right vacuum truck or vacuum tanker to the specific job conditions, our team helps customers safely manage waste handling, environmental cleanup, and industrial maintenance operations while minimizing downtime and operational risk.

Our vacuum truck services support both planned maintenance and emergency response work, including:

  • Clarifier and sump cleaning and maintenance
  • Oil-water separator cleanout
  • Sewer and storm drain cleaning
  • Wastewater pumping, transportation, and disposal
  • Waste stream consolidation
  • Pit dewatering
  • UST cleaning and product removal
  • Vacuum excavation of contaminated soils
  • Underground utility exposure and vacuum excavation (soft dig)
  • Wet, dry, or sludge vacuuming
  • Industrial cleaning and material transfers
  • Oil, fuel, and hazardous material spill cleanup

Emergency response is a major part of vacuum truck utilization, particularly during oil spills, fuel spills, chemical releases, and hazardous material incidents. Hull’s crews are trained to respond quickly and safely to contain, recover, and transport impacted liquids, solids, sludge, absorbents, and contaminated materials while supporting regulatory compliance and environmental protection. 

With multiple truck types and load capacities available, Hull’s can support industrial facilities, municipalities, utilities, transportation providers, and environmental remediation projects across the southeast and south central United States.

Vacuum Trucks

Using a vacuum truck to safely expose subsurface utilities and other infrastructure is commonly referred to as vacuum excavation or soft dig technology. A much safer alternative to mechanical excavation using backhoes or trackhoes for instance, vacuum excavation relies on air movement (suction strength and velocity a major factor) to remove and transport dirt, rocks and other substrate. Railroads, utilities, environmental engineers and governments often use vacuum truck services as a safer alternative to mechanical methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is vacuum truck service, and what equipment does Hull's Environmental use?

Vacuum truck service uses high-capacity vacuum equipment to extract, transport, and manage liquids, sludges, and solids from industrial, municipal, and commercial sites. Hull’s Environmental operates three types of equipment to match the job: 3,000-3,300 gallon vacuum trucks for standard commercial and industrial pumping, 5,000 gallon vacuum tankers for larger volumes when a standard truck’s capacity isn’t enough, and industrial loaders for handling solids, dry bulk powders, liquids, slurries, and thick sludge in remote or difficult-access locations.

What can a vacuum truck actually remove?

Our fleet handles both hazardous and non-hazardous materials, including contaminated soil, sludge, slurry, liquids, wastewater, dry solids, fuel, oil, and other hazardous or non-hazardous waste streams. This range lets one service call cover everything from a straightforward liquid pump-out to more complex mixed-waste removal.

What's the difference between a vacuum truck, a vacuum tanker, and an industrial loader?

Vacuum trucks are the standard workhorse for pumping liquids from catch basins, septic tanks, oil/water separators, sewers, storm drains, and facility pits. Vacuum tankers step up to 5,000 gallons for jobs where volume exceeds standard truck capacity, such as larger liquid or sludge transport needs. Industrial loaders are built for solids, dry bulk powders, and thick sludge, particularly in remote or challenging site conditions where a traditional truck setup isn’t practical.

What are the most common applications for this service?

Typical jobs include clarifier cleaning, oil-water separator maintenance, sewer and storm drain cleaning, wastewater handling, pit dewatering, underground storage tank cleaning, contaminated soil excavation, utility exposure work, and emergency spill response.

Is vacuum truck service only for emergencies, or can it be scheduled as routine maintenance?

Both. Emergency response is a major part of how vacuum trucks get used, and Hull’s provides 24/7 emergency spill response with crews trained for rapid containment and recovery during fuel, chemical, and hazardous material incidents. At the same time, the same equipment and crews support planned, scheduled maintenance work, such as recurring separator or pit cleanouts, so facilities don’t have to choose between emergency readiness and routine upkeep.

What happens to the material after it's removed from my site?

Once extracted, materials are typically removed, transported, and disposed of by our crews as part of the service, whether that’s liquid waste, sludge, contaminated soil, or hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams.

What areas and industries does Hull's Environmental serve with this service?

Vacuum truck and vacuum tanker services are available across Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas,  Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Oklahoma, covering the Southeast and South Central U.S. Customers include industrial facilities, municipalities, utilities, transportation providers, and environmental remediation projects.
