Tanker Services in Portsmouth

Our vacuum tankers remove liquid waste from interceptors, grease traps, septic tanks, or catch pits across locations including Emsworth and Chichester. Whether you run a restaurant or manage flats, we safely clear all pumpable liquid waste.

Collected waste is transported to approved disposal facilities. We always comply with current regulations for handling and documentation, providing you with the paperwork you need.

Silt, grit and road debris can block surface water gullies and foul sewers. Over time, this restricts flow and causes local flooding in places like Clanfield, Gosport, and Lee-on-the-Solent.

We use vacuum tankers to extract compacted silt and clean gullies. Maintenance schedules or reactive call-outs are both available to keep drainage functioning smoothly.

Properties not connected to mains sewers in Bembridge, Hambledon or rural Hampshire often use septic tanks. These need periodic emptying to prevent overflow and foul odours.

Our vacuum tanker service includes safe removal of sludge and inspection of the tank’s condition. We provide written confirmation for your records after each service visit.

Car parks, commercial garages or workshops often have interceptors to trap oils and contaminants. Regular cleaning avoids pollution incidents and meets environmental standards.

We provide full vacuum cleaning and safe removal of interceptor waste, including silt and hydrocarbons. This helps keep sites in Portsmouth and Seaview compliant with local and national regulations.

Heavy rainfall and coastal surges can overwhelm drains around Portsmouth and Hayling Island. When water collects faster than drains can cope, our tankers can be dispatched to pump out flooded basements, car parks or lower stores.

We aim for a 1-hour response target for flood emergencies. Our fully insured team will remove excess water, helping minimise property damage and restore safe access.

Blocked drains are often cleared using high-pressure water jetting, which our tankers deliver on a larger scale. This method helps remove grease, sludge, and debris not just from pipes but from larger chambers and sumps.

Our team is equipped to jet out drains on commercial estates, industrial yards or around residential developments throughout Waterlooville and Petersfield.

Catering businesses in Shanklin, Sandown and similar areas often rely on grease traps to protect sewers from fats. Regular cleaning is essential to avoid blockages and commercial disruption.

Portsmouth Drains empties and cleans grease traps using specialist tankers. Waste is removed with minimal fuss, and the area is left clean and ready for continued use.

Developments with private drainage in Purbrook & Widley or Chichester may have a pump station handling foul or surface water. These stations must be kept free of blockages and debris.

Our tanker team can empty wet wells, remove rags and grease, and jet pump chambers. Scheduled maintenance extends equipment life and ensures compliance with property management standards.

All tanker repair work carried out by Portsmouth Drains comes with a written 10 year guarantee. This applies to repairs of chambers, replacement covers or pipework connected to tanks.

You will receive written details following completion. Our guarantee gives peace of mind, whether you are a homeowner in Petersfield or manage commercial premises elsewhere in Hampshire.
