Basin Pumping
A complete solution for the cleaning, maintenance, and performance of your facilities
Basins play an essential role in the management of water, sludge, and residual materials, whether they are retention basins, industrial basins, or basins related to hydro-excavation work. Over time, the accumulation of sediments, sludge, or contaminated materials can hinder the proper functioning of facilities and piping systems.
At Sanivac, we offer a specialized basin pumping service designed to efficiently remove large volumes of liquid, semi-liquid, or solid materials, ensuring the performance, safety, and compliance of your infrastructure.
Pumping of retention basins and industrial basins
Maintain the capacity and efficiency of your facilities
Retention basins and industrial basins are designed to collect water, sludge, or residual materials before treatment or disposal. When these basins are not properly maintained, their capacity decreases and the risk of overflow or malfunction increases.
Sanivac carries out complete basin pumping, including the removal of sediments, sludge, and accumulated materials, in order to restore their original capacity and ensure optimal flow toward downstream pipes and systems.

Pumping of contaminated materials and specialized sludge
Safe and compliant management in accordance with environmental standards
Some basins contain contaminated materials or sludge that require controlled handling. Sanivac has the equipment and expertise required to pump contaminated materials, including industrial basins, sludge basins, and basins associated with hydro-excavation work.
Our methods make it possible to pump liquid, semi-liquid, or solid materials while ensuring their transport to authorized treatment or disposal sites, in accordance with applicable environmental regulations.
Large-volume pumping with specialized trucks
Capacity tailored to large-scale projects
Basin pumping often involves handling large volumes. Thanks to our fleet of high-capacity vacuum trucks and tanker trucks, Sanivac is able to efficiently pump large volumes, reducing response times and the number of trips required. This capacity is particularly advantageous for large-area basins, industrial sites, municipal infrastructure, and projects requiring a fast and structured response.
Preventive maintenance of basins and piping
Prevent blockages and extend the lifespan of facilities
Beyond one-time pumping, Sanivac offers preventive maintenance services for basins to keep your facilities in proper working condition. Regular basin cleaning helps prevent excessive sediment buildup, protect piping, and ensure smooth flow toward drainage or treatment systems. This proactive approach reduces the risk of breakdowns, overflows, and emergency interventions while optimizing the overall performance of your infrastructure.
Whether it is a retention basin, an industrial basin, a sludge basin, or a basin related to hydro-excavation, Sanivac offers a complete solution tailored to your needs. With our expertise, specialized equipment, and ability to handle large volumes, we deliver a reliable, safe, and compliant service. Contact Sanivac to schedule your basin pumping or to discuss a maintenance program tailored to your facilities.

General Pumping
We offer versatile pumping services for all types of needs, adapted to municipal, commercial, industrial, and residential requirements.
Basin pumping involves removing water, sludge, sediments, or accumulated materials from a basin in order to restore its capacity and proper operation. This service is essential for retention basins, industrial basins, sludge basins, and basins associated with hydro-excavation work.
Sanivac pumps various types of basins, including stormwater retention basins, industrial basins, settling basins, sludge basins, temporary construction-site basins, and basins related to hydro-excavation or drilling work.
Yes. Basin pumping involving contaminated materials is possible when appropriate methods and disposal channels are used. Sanivac has the expertise and equipment required to pump these materials and transport them to authorized treatment or disposal facilities, in compliance with environmental standards.
Absolutely. With a fleet of high-capacity vacuum trucks and tanker trucks, Sanivac is able to efficiently pump very large volumes—whether liquid, semi-liquid, or solid materials—while reducing response times.
The frequency depends on the type of basin, its use, and the volume of accumulated materials. Regular preventive maintenance helps prevent overflows, protect piping, and maintain the efficiency of facilities. Sanivac can recommend a maintenance program tailored to your needs.
Yes. By removing accumulated sediments and sludge from basins, pumping improves flow toward piping and drainage systems, thereby reducing the risk of blockages, backflow, and damage.
The pumped materials are transported to authorized treatment or disposal facilities, depending on their nature. Sanivac ensures safe, traceable, and compliant management of materials, including sludge, sediments, and contaminated materials.
Sanivac offers a complete turnkey approach: specialized equipment, high-volume pumping capacity, environmental expertise, and interventions tailored to all types of infrastructure. This approach ensures a reliable, safe, and compliant service that meets regulatory requirements.
