Water Extraction & Flood Dewatering

Rapid removal of floodwater, standing water and liquid waste from commercial, construction and infrastructure sites, 24/7.

When a site floods, an excavation fills or a pump station fails, Civil Connect Subsurface Solutions deploys high-capacity vacuum tankers and pumps to get the water out and keep work moving. Our jet vac, combination and DISAB tankers can remove thousands of gallons of floodwater, liquid waste and sludge. We are a fully licensed waste carrier: all waste is transported and disposed of in line with environmental regulations, with the paperwork provided for your records.

Where We Extract Water

• Flooded basements and underground car parks

• Waterlogged construction sites and excavations

• Wet wells and pump stations

• Overwhelmed drainage systems and culverts

• Blocked carriageways and submerged highways

• Commercial and industrial properties

How We Remove the Water

Jet Vac and DISAB Tankers

Vacuum tankers lift floodwater, silt and sludge straight from the affected area, and combination jet vac units can then jet the drains clear so the water has somewhere to go. See our vacuum tanker services.

Emergency Overpumping and Bypass

If a critical pump station fails or a rising main collapses, we deploy emergency overpumping systems to maintain network flow and prevent pollution. Read more about our 24/7 emergency drainage callouts.

Clearing the Cause

Once the water is out, our teams find and fix the cause with high-pressure drain jetting, CCTV drain surveys and, where a pipe has failed, trenchless UV and CIPP lining.

Scheduled Extraction

Water extraction is not only for emergencies. Wet well desilting and interceptor emptying can be scheduled as part of a planned preventative maintenance (PPM) programme; see also wet well and interceptor cleaning.

Who We Work For

• Construction & civil engineering: keeping sites and excavations dry and operational.

• Local authorities & utilities: supporting public infrastructure and sewer network maintenance.

• Highways: clearing standing water from blocked carriageways and overpumping failed culverts to prevent road closures.

• Facilities management: emergency flood response and scheduled tank emptying for commercial properties.

• Industrial & manufacturing: removing trade effluent and liquid by-products safely and compliantly.
