Municipalities and industries across South Africa are turning to vacuum sewer systems for their efficiency, low maintenance needs, and odor control benefits.
What is a Vacuum Sewer System?
Unlike traditional gravity sewers, vacuum sewers use negative pressure to move wastewater.
Benefits of Vacuum Sewer Systems
Reduced Odor Risk
The closed, air-tight system prevents smells from escaping.
Lower Installation Costs
Smaller, shallow pipelines mean less excavation during installation.
Fewer Blockages
High air velocity helps keep debris moving.
Maintenance is Still Key
Even though vacuum sewers are low-maintenance, regular inspection and cleaning remain essential. Camjet’s industrial vacuum trucks and pipeline inspection services are ideal for:
· Clearing blockages
· Checking vacuum pressure levels
· Inspecting valve pits and collection chambers
How often do vacuum sewer systems need maintenance?
At least annually, with more frequent checks in high-use areas.
Can Camjet help with vacuum sewer repairs?
Yes! We offer inspection, cleaning, and emergency repair services for vacuum sewers across South Africa.
Are vacuum sewers better for the environment?
