Jet and Vacuum Pumping

Reliable Jet & Vacuum Pumping for Infrastructure & Environmental Safety

At CLH & Son, we specialize in professional jetting and vacuum pumping services to keep stormwater systems, sewer lines, catch basins, lagoons, and industrial infrastructure operating safely and efficiently. Over time, sediment buildup, grease, sludge, and debris restrict flow and create serious environmental and operational risks. Our high-powered hydro jetting and vacuum systems remove blockages, restore capacity, and protect both infrastructure and surrounding ecosystems across New England.

Jet & Vacuum Pumping Services

Jetting and vacuum pumping are critical maintenance services for municipalities, contractors, industrial facilities, and commercial properties. When drainage systems become clogged or overloaded, it can result in flooding, contamination, structural damage, and regulatory violations. Our advanced equipment safely clears and removes debris while minimizing disruption.

Benefits of Jet & Vacuum Pumping Services

We offer a full range of excavation and utility services, designed to meet the needs of various industries and projects, including:

Prevents System Failures & Flooding

Routine cleaning removes sediment and blockages before they cause costly backups or overflows.

Extends Infrastructure Lifespan

By reducing corrosion, pressure buildup, and material stress, regular maintenance protects pipes and structures.

Improves Environmental Compliance

Proper waste removal helps meet local, state, and federal environmental regulations.

Safe & Efficient Debris Removal

High-powered jetting and vacuum technology clears lines quickly without damaging existing infrastructure.
