Looking for a Combination (Combo) Truck in Vancouver, BC? A Combo Truck pairs high-pressure water jetting with vacuum recovery, so it can clear a sewer or pipe and remove the debris in one trip. It is the most versatile unit in the fleet. In a major metro where construction, utilities and telecommunications drive local work, that capability is in steady demand across Greater Vancouver.
Choose a Combo Truck for sewer and storm-line cleaning, catch-basin and lift-station maintenance, and mixed jobs that need both jetting and vacuum in one mobilization. Describe your Vancouver job and we match you with service providers who run Combo equipment in the area, so you compare real quotes instead of calling around British Columbia.
Digging conditions in Greater Vancouver
Vancouver sits in a mild, wet oceanic climate, which sets the seasonal window for excavation here. Ground around Vancouver runs to clay and alluvial, which shapes how quickly water- or air-based excavation cuts and how the spoil is handled. A local service provider prices around exactly these conditions, so the quote you get for a Vancouver job reflects how the ground actually digs here rather than a generic rate.

Questions
Combination (Combo) Truck in Vancouver FAQ
What is a Combination (Combo) Truck?
A Combo Truck combines a high-pressure water jetter and a vacuum on one chassis. It cleans sewers, storm lines, and catch basins by jetting the debris loose and vacuuming it up in the same visit. Many Combo units can also perform hydro excavation.
Can a Combo Truck do Hydrovac excavation?
Combo-rated units can. The same high-pressure water and vacuum systems used for sewer cleaning can pothole and daylight utilities. If excavation is the main task, a dedicated Hydrovac Truck is purpose-built for it.
How much does a Combination (Combo) Truck cost in Vancouver, BC?
Vacuum Truck work is typically billed by the hour, and the rate varies with soil, site access, water and disposal needs, and how far the service provider travels. Around Vancouver, clay and alluvial ground influences how quickly the work goes and therefore the total. Service providers price your specific Vancouver job rather than a flat rate. Submit it through Vac Hotline and qualified Combo crews near you send competing quotes.
