Advanced Tanker Technology for Any Challenge
A modern tanker is a powerful and versatile tool. Our vehicles are equipped with high-performance vacuum pumps that can safely and efficiently remove vast quantities of liquid and semi-solid waste from almost any location.
Many of our vehicles are JetVac (or combination) tankers, featuring integrated high-pressure water jetting systems. This allows us to not only perform water extraction or waste removal but also to deep-clean the tank, drain, or gully in a single visit, providing a complete and efficient service.
As a fully licensed waste carrier, Drain247 ensures a compliant and environmentally responsible service, handling all transportation and disposal paperwork for you.

Tanker Service Applications
Septic Tank Emptying & Cesspit Cleaning Services
For properties not on the mains sewer, regular septic tank pumping is a legal and practical necessity. Our domestic and commercial septic tank cleaning service ensures your system remains fully operational, preventing foul odours and pollution. We offer both one-off emergency emptying and scheduled maintenance plans for your complete peace of mind.
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction Services
A flood can bring your home or business to a standstill. Our 24/7 emergency water extraction service is designed for rapid response across London. We can quickly pump thousands of gallons of floodwater from basements, underground car parks, and flooded sites, allowing the crucial recovery process to begin immediately.
Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning & Emptying
For businesses serving hot food, a functional grease trap is essential for compliance. Our tanker services can quickly empty the entire contents of your trap. Our JetVac units can then thoroughly clean the trap and pipework, ensuring optimal performance and preventing blockages.
Gully Emptying & Sucking
Blocked road gullies and car park drains are a primary cause of surface water flooding. Our powerful “gully sucking” service uses high-performance vacuums to remove all accumulated silt, leaves, and debris, restoring the gully’s full drainage capacity.
Industrial Liquid Waste & Sludge Removal
We are licensed to handle a wide variety of non-hazardous industrial liquid wastes. From clearing settlement tanks and interceptors to sludge removal, our industrial-strength tanker hire provides the power required for the toughest jobs.
