Questions
Combination (Combo) Truck in San Marcos 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 San Marcos, TX?
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 San Marcos, clay, sandy loam and caliche ground influences how quickly the work goes and therefore the total. Service providers price your specific San Marcos job rather than a flat rate.
