Vac unitVacuum excavation truck
Do you repair vac trucks on site?

Yes. Most repairs and servicing are done wherever the vac unit is working, anywhere in the North Island, from a fully kitted service truck.

My vac unit has lost suction — can you help?

Yes. Loss of suction usually comes from seals, filters, the blower or vacuum pump, or a leak in the system. Send a photo or video on WhatsApp and Diarmuid will help track it down.

Do you work on trailer-mounted vac units too?

Yes — both truck-mounted and trailer vac units, including the vacuum, water and hydraulic systems.

Can you service vac units alongside our drilling rigs?

Yes. Many drilling crews run vac units on the same job, so Diarmuid can service the rig and the vac unit in one visit.

What else we work on

One specialist.
Four machines.

Many crews run more than one type of machine. One mechanic can look after them all.
