Industrial vacuum truck support from EGM, Inc.
Match the crew to the work
Cleanouts built around your facility.
A flooded pit, sludge buildup or a maintenance outage each needs a different plan. Tell EGM what material is present, how much needs to be removed and how crews can access the work area. We review the scope, equipment needs and service schedule with your team.
Hydroexcavation & potholing
Expose buried utilities and support excavation where controlled material removal is needed. Share utility information, planned depth, soil conditions and site access for review.
Explore hydroexcavation →Tank & process cleaning
Coordinate material removal with hydroblasting and cleaning of vessels, lines or process equipment. Access, isolation and entry requirements are reviewed before work is scheduled.
Explore hydroblasting →Shutdown support
Plan cleaning around maintenance windows at ethanol plants, power facilities and other industrial operations. Discuss the work sequence, staffing and coordination with your maintenance team.
Explore shutdown services →Emergency spill response
For an active industrial spill or urgent recovery need, call the 24/7 line. Provide the exact location, material and known hazards so EGM can assess the response.
Explore emergency response →Waste-handling coordination
Discuss recovered-material characterization, transport and receiving requirements during planning. Handling options depend on the material and the facility accepting it.

Planning your Des Moines service
Can I request a vacuum truck for a pit or manhole pump-out?
Yes. Describe the liquid or sludge, approximate volume, access and any known hazards. EGM reviews the work and equipment needs before confirming service.
Should I request a pump-out or hydroexcavation?
For standing water or sludge in an existing pit or manhole, describe the pump-out and recovery needs. For exposing a utility or removing soil, describe the excavation. If you are unsure, send photos and the work requirements so EGM can review the appropriate service.
How quickly can a crew reach my facility?
Timing depends on location, crew availability, equipment and the material involved. Call 402-350-5451 for urgent needs so the team can assess your situation. For planned work, share your maintenance window as early as possible.
Can cleaning be coordinated with an outage?
Yes. EGM supports planned shutdowns and industrial maintenance. Include the outage dates, equipment involved and other contractors on site so the work can be scoped with your team.
