Industrial Cleaning Services Across East Chicago
Grease Trap Cleaning
Food service establishments and processing facilities across East Chicago generate significant grease, fats, and oils that require proper management. Our grease trap cleaning and pumping services keep these systems flowing properly and help businesses maintain compliance with local wastewater regulations. We serve restaurants, cafeterias, and food manufacturers throughout the city.
Grease Trap Pumping
Our grease trap pumping services provide complete removal of accumulated fats, oils, and grease from trap systems throughout East Chicago. Regular pumping prevents blockages, eliminates odors, and ensures your facility remains compliant with municipal wastewater discharge requirements. We schedule pumping based on your facility’s specific volume and usage patterns.
Vacuum Truck Services
Our fleet of 5,500-gallon vacuum trucks handles liquid waste removal, sludge pumping, and debris cleanup at industrial sites across East Chicago. These trucks service wastewater treatment plants, manufacturing facilities, and construction sites throughout Lake County. We manage both hazardous and non-hazardous materials according to proper disposal protocols.
Tank Cleaning
Chemical plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities throughout East Chicago maintain various storage tanks that require periodic cleaning. We remove sludge, scale, and chemical residues using high-pressure washing and manual cleaning techniques. Our HAZMAT-certified technicians handle both routine maintenance and emergency cleanouts for storage tanks, process tanks, and specialty vessels.
Silo Cleaning
Food manufacturers and agricultural operations around East Chicago require periodic silo cleaning to remove residual materials that can cause blockages or contamination. We use pneumatic and vibration systems to safely remove grain, flour, sugar, and other materials from storage silos. Our team follows confined space entry procedures to ensure worker safety during every job.
Catch Basin Cleaning
Stormwater management throughout East Chicago depends on properly functioning catch basins. Our cleaning services remove accumulated sediment, trash, and pollutants that block drainage and contribute to flooding. Commercial properties, industrial facilities, and municipal sites schedule regular catch basin maintenance to protect their drainage systems.
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water jetting clears blockages and removes buildup from industrial piping systems throughout East Chicago facilities. This method works effectively on storm drains, process lines, and sewer systems without damaging pipes. Manufacturing plants in East Chicago rely on hydro jetting to maintain their drainage infrastructure and prevent costly shutdowns.
Sewer Cleaning
East Chicago’s aging sewer infrastructure requires regular maintenance to function properly. We provide complete sewer cleaning services using vacuum trucks and hydro jetting equipment to remove debris, sediment, and blockages from both sanitary and storm sewer lines. Municipal facilities and industrial sites across East Chicago depend on these services to prevent backups and maintain proper drainage.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Before problems escalate, sewer camera inspections identify cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, and blockages within underground pipes. Property owners and facility managers in East Chicago use this technology to diagnose issues accurately without excavation. The video inspection process reveals the exact location and nature of problems, allowing for targeted repairs.
Hydro Blasting
East Chicago’s steel mills, refineries, and manufacturing plants face constant challenges with scale buildup, corrosion, and surface contamination. Our hydro blasting services remove these materials from tanks, vessels, heat exchangers, and processing equipment. The technique uses adjustable water pressure to clean surfaces thoroughly while preserving the underlying material.
Commercial Cleaning
Industrial Cleaning
Beyond specialized equipment cleaning, we provide general industrial cleaning services for manufacturing floors, processing areas, and heavy industrial facilities throughout East Chicago. Our crews handle power washing, debris removal, equipment degreasing, and facility maintenance that keeps operations running smoothly and safely in compliance with workplace safety standards.
Emergency Clean Up
Industrial accidents, spills, and unexpected equipment failures require immediate response. Our emergency clean up services mobilize quickly to handle hazardous material spills, flooding, equipment malfunctions, and facility incidents throughout East Chicago. Available 24/7, our HAZMAT-certified crews respond rapidly to contain, clean, and restore your facility to safe operating conditions.
Dry Ice Blasting
Dry ice blasting provides a non-abrasive, environmentally friendly cleaning method for sensitive equipment and surfaces throughout East Chicago industrial facilities. This process uses compressed air and dry ice pellets to remove contaminants, coatings, and residues without water, chemicals, or secondary waste. Ideal for electrical equipment, machinery, and surfaces that cannot tolerate traditional wet cleaning methods.
Rail Cart Cleaning
Railroad maintenance facilities and industrial operations with rail access throughout East Chicago require specialized rail cart cleaning services. We clean tank cars, hopper cars, boxcars, and other rolling stock to remove residual materials, contaminants, and buildup. Our services ensure railcars meet cleanliness standards for new loads and regulatory requirements.
Railroad Car Derailment Recovery & Cleaning
When derailments occur at East Chicago rail facilities or industrial sidings, our specialized crews provide complete recovery and cleaning services. We handle Railroad Car Derailment Recovery, spill containment, environmental remediation, and site restoration following derailment incidents.
