Flotech Environmental provides professional pump truck services for municipalities, contractors, property managers, homeowner associations, and engineering firms throughout Central Florida. Our fleet includes 32 Vactor and GapVax combination sewer cleaners and hydroexcavators capable of delivering up to 5,000 CFM of vacuum and up to 3,000 PSI of high-pressure water jetting. With a combined onboard tank capacity exceeding 120,000 gallons, our equipment is built to support everything from routine maintenance to large-scale infrastructure projects.
Supporting this fleet is a dedicated group of 13 trailer-mounted bypass and dewatering pumps, anchored by 6-inch Gorman-Rupp, Godwin, and Multiquip units capable of more than 17,000 GPM combined. These resources play a critical role in lift station and wet well cleaning, sewer bypass pumping, emergency response, and infrastructure maintenance. Routine pump truck services help maintain hydraulic performance, prevent grease, grit, and debris buildup, reduce wear on pumps and equipment, and support compliance with FDEP and EPA requirements, while rapid response capabilities help minimize overflows, service disruptions, and system failures.
Here are some of the most common questions about our services, response times, and how we support infrastructure projects across Florida.
Sewer bypass pumping is a temporary solution that reroutes wastewater flow around a section of pipeline, lift station, or pump station that is being repaired, cleaned, or upgraded. Bypass pumping allows maintenance to proceed without interrupting service to connected properties or municipalities.
Bypass pumping is needed whenever a lift station, force main, or sewer segment must be taken offline for maintenance or repair. It's also used during emergency situations such as pump failures, pipe breaks, or flooding events that require immediate system rerouting.
Most lift stations and wet wells benefit from cleaning every 6 to 12 months, depending on system use, capacity, and the volume of grease and solids they receive. High-use or older systems may require more frequent maintenance.
Yes. Flotech provides 24/7 emergency bypass pumping and emergency lift station cleaning throughout Central Florida, including Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando.
Bypass pumping is Flotech’s primary pump truck application. When a lift station, force main, or sewer line requires rehabilitation, repair, or replacement, our trailer-mounted bypass pumping systems temporarily reroute wastewater flow to maintain continuous service and prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). Flotech designs and deploys bypass pumping for scheduled CIPP and open-cut projects, valve and force main replacements, lift station rehabilitation, and wet weather events across Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando.
Flotech provides professional lift station cleaning services to remove fats, oils, and grease (FOG), grit, rags, and accumulated solids that reduce pump efficiency, increase amp draw and run time, and accelerate impeller and seal wear. Routine cleaning extends equipment life, controls septicity and H₂S generation, and supports compliance with FDEP and EPA collection system standards for municipalities and property managers across Florida.
Our pump station cleaning services pair vacuum trucks with high-pressure jetting at up to 100 GPM and 3,000 PSI to remove buildup from wet wells, valve vaults, discharge piping, and suction bells. Restoring full hydraulic cross-section reduces clog-induced burnouts, lowers energy consumption, and maintains consistent flow through the collection system.
Wet wells collect wastewater between pump cycles, and over time they accumulate a floating grease cap and a bottom sludge blanket that reduce active storage volume, harbor sulfate-reducing bacteria, and drive H₂S-induced concrete corrosion (crown rot). Flotech’s wet well cleaning services restore design capacity, control odors and corrosion, and protect pumps, floats, and level sensors for municipalities and property managers in Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando.
A failed or surcharged lift station can quickly become a public health and regulatory issue. Flotech provides emergency lift station cleaning throughout Florida, mobilizing vacuum and bypass equipment to restore pump function, clear obstructions, and prevent overflows under NPDES permit requirements.
Backed by decades of field experience and one of Florida’s largest infrastructure service fleets, Flotech provides the resources and expertise needed to support projects of every size.
Flotech Environmental provides sewer bypass pumping, lift station and wet well cleaning, and emergency response services to municipalities, general contractors, property managers, HOAs, and engineering firms throughout Florida, with regional offices in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa.
Our work is measured not just by what we complete, but by the trust we build along the way. Here’s what clients across Florida have to say about working with Flotech.
Investing in routine pump truck services helps utilities, contractors, and property owners avoid unexpected disruptions while protecting critical infrastructure assets.
For HOAs and property managers, pump truck services provide critical support when water or wastewater needs to be moved, and the existing infrastructure is unable to keep up. This often includes lift station failures, surcharging wet wells, blocked force mains, or other system issues that require immediate action to prevent disruptions and property damage.
One of the most common applications is emergency support for lift stations and wet wells. Flotech’s vacuum trucks and bypass pumping equipment can temporarily maintain flow while repairs are completed, helping prevent equipment failures from escalating into sewage overflows. Scheduled services are equally important. Retention pond drawdowns before major storm events help restore storage capacity and reduce the risk of flooding, while catch basin cleanouts, wet well maintenance, and post-storm debris removal keep community drainage systems functioning properly year-round. Flotech provides pump truck services for HOAs and property managers throughout Florida, including Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando, with both scheduled maintenance and 24-hour emergency response available.
