Home/Hydrovac & Sewer/Sludge Removal
Service S/15 · SLUDGE

Settled solids,
pumped and gone.

Sludge accumulates quietly until it steals tank capacity, plugs a line, or fails an inspection. Bioshield pumps settled solids from tanks, lagoons, sumps, and interceptors, classifies the material before it moves, and hauls it to a licensed facility with the paperwork done right.

Bioshield vacuum truck removing settled sludge from an industrial lagoon

What this service covers

  • Tank bottom sludge — Fuel, oil, and product tank bottoms
  • Lagoon & pond sludge — Settling basins and process lagoons
  • Sump & pit sludge — Shop sumps, wash bays, containment pits
  • Interceptor sludge — Oil-water separators and grease interceptors
  • Process sludge — Paint, coating, and treatment sludges
  • Dewatering coordination — Volume reduction before haul-away on larger jobs

How it works

You describe the source, the estimated volume, and what the sludge came from. We screen or sample to confirm classification, then quote by volume with disposal itemized.

The crew pumps the material into the truck, hauls it under the appropriate documentation, and the disposal record from the receiving facility comes back to you for your file.

Frequently asked

Sludge Removal questions.

We screen or sample before transport. The result determines the handling, the documentation, and the disposal channel, and it is confirmed before the quote is final so there are no reclassification surprises on the invoice.
Yes. Larger jobs are staged with multiple loads or coordinated dewatering to reduce haul volume, and we quote the full program up front.
Regulated loads move under full manifest and TDG documentation, and every job closes with a disposal record from the receiving facility.
