Culverts
Culvert pumping, cleaning, and maintenance
Ensure proper flow, safety, and the durability of your infrastructure
Culverts play an essential role in managing stormwater and protecting roads, pathways, parking lots, and infrastructure. Over time, they can become blocked by the accumulation of sediments, debris, sludge, ice, or organic matter, leading to backups, erosion, and structural damage. At Sanivac, we offer specialized culvert pumping, cleaning, unclogging, and maintenance services tailored to the needs of municipalities, construction sites, road infrastructure, and industrial sites. Our interventions help restore proper flow, prevent emergencies, and extend the lifespan of these structures.
Culvert pumping
Remove water and accumulated material to restore flow
The accumulation of stagnant water, sludge, and sediments in a culvert can quickly compromise its effectiveness. Sanivac performs complete culvert pumping to remove accumulated water and liquid or semi-liquid materials that obstruct flow. This intervention helps clear the structure, reduce pressure on the infrastructure, and restore safe water flow, particularly during heavy rainfall or thaw periods.

Culvert cleaning and unclogging
Remove sediments, debris, and obstructions
Over time, culverts can become filled with sand, gravel, branches, leaves, debris, or ice. Sanivac provides thorough cleaning and targeted unclogging of culverts to remove these accumulations and restore full capacity. Our specialized equipment allows us to intervene effectively, even when obstructions are compact or difficult to access, thereby reducing the risk of backups and erosion.
Preventive maintenance of culverts
Prevent damage and reduce emergency interventions
Regular culvert maintenance is essential to prevent sudden blockages and structural failures. Sanivac offers preventive maintenance programs that include culvert pumping, cleaning, and inspection. This proactive approach helps detect accumulations before they cause overflows, protect surrounding infrastructure, and reduce costs associated with emergency interventions.
Interventions tailored to municipal contexts
Field expertise for complex environments
Culverts are often located beneath roads, access roads, parking lots, or critical infrastructure. Sanivac has the expertise, fleet, and equipment required to operate in complex environments, including areas with restricted access or heavy traffic. Our teams follow strict procedures to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant interventions that meet the requirements of municipalities and infrastructure managers.

Regular culvert maintenance helps ensure proper water flow, prevent obstructions, and avoid backups that can cause erosion, subsidence, or damage to roads and surrounding infrastructure.
Culverts can become obstructed by the accumulation of sediments, sand, gravel, branches, leaves, sludge, debris, and ice. These buildups reduce the culvert’s capacity and increase the risk of overflow, particularly during heavy rainfall or snowmelt.
The frequency depends on the location, environment, and volume of water managed. In general, periodic preventive maintenance is recommended—especially before periods of heavy rainfall or thawing—to avoid emergency interventions.
The service includes pumping out stagnant water, removing sludge and sediments, as well as cleaning and unclogging obstructed sections. This intervention helps restore the culvert’s full capacity and ensure safe water flow.
Yes. Sanivac offers specialized culvert maintenance services for municipalities, road infrastructure, construction sites, and industrial facilities. Our interventions are tailored to the technical requirements and constraints of municipal environments.
Culverts are critical structures often located beneath roads or high-traffic areas. A specialized company has the equipment, expertise, and safety procedures required to carry out effective interventions, minimize risks, and ensure the long-term durability of the infrastructure.
