We wash mud tracked onto roads and sidewalks and vacuum the slurry straight into our hydrovac tank, so it never reaches a catch basin. Weekly visits keep the street clean through the messiest phases. ## Why Is Tracked Mud a Problem for Contractors? Every truck leaving an excavation carries mud on its tires. It drops onto the road at the exit and spreads down the block. In dry weather it becomes dust; in wet weather it becomes slippery slurry that washes into catch basins. Neighbours complain, cyclists slip, and inspectors notice sediment in the storm system. Sweeping helps with loose material, but the thin film that remains turns back into slurry with the next rain. Washing the road without recovering the water makes the problem worse, because it sends all of that sediment straight into the drains, which is what Toronto Municipal Code 681 is designed to prevent. ## What Is Included in Construction Site Wash and Vac? - **Road and lane washing** at site exits and along affected stretches - **Sidewalk and curb cleaning** around hoarding and entrances - **Slurry vacuum recovery** with our hydrovac - **Catch basin protection** with covers or filter bags during washing - **Catch basin extraction** when sediment has already entered ![Construction exit onto a city street half washed with the hydrovac collecting slurry at the curb](/images/content/muddy-construction-site-exit-onto-city-street-half.webp) ## How Do Site Wash and Vac Programs Work? ### Contract and pricing table | Program | When it suits | Pricing | | --- | --- | --- | | One-time clean | After a pour, rain event or complaint | Written quote | | Weekly recurring | Excavation and foundation phases | Fixed per-visit rate | | Bundled | With post-construction power washing | Bundled rate | ### COI delivery in 24 hours General contractors and developers receive a COI naming them as additional insured, with $2M liability and WSIB clearance, within one business day. ### Hydrovac wastewater containment (Toronto Municipal Code 681) The vacuum side of wash and vac is what makes it compliant. Our hydrovac recovers the mud and water we wash off the road, and the load is disposed of properly. It is the same equipment our sister brand, Hydrovac Toronto, uses for hydro excavation. ## When Should a Site Book Wash and Vac? - **Weekly during excavation**, when truck traffic and mud are heaviest - **After large pours** or wet weather - **Before inspections** or community meetings - **When a neighbour or the City raises a complaint** ## How Much Does Construction Site Wash and Vac Cost? Pricing is per visit, in writing, based on the length of road and sidewalk, mud volume and timing. Weekly rates are fixed, and bundling with post-construction power washing [/post-construction-power-wash-toronto/ →](/post-construction-power-wash-toronto/) at handover lowers the total. ## Common Site Problems We Solve ### Mud tracked down the block Trucks leaving an excavation carry mud well past the site entrance. We wash the affected stretch of road and sidewalk, not just the apron in front of the gate. ### Slurry in catch basins Once mud reaches a catch basin, it settles in the sump and passes into the storm system. Basins near the site are covered during washing and extracted when needed. ### Dust in dry weather Dried mud turns to dust that blows onto neighbours’ cars and windows. Regular washing keeps the road surface clean before it dries out and lifts. ### Concrete washout residue Grey concrete slurry from pours and truck washouts stains roads and sidewalks. It must be recovered, not rinsed away, and our hydrovac handles it. ### Complaints from neighbours and the City A clean frontage is the fastest way to calm complaints. Timestamped photos from each visit also show the site is maintaining the road. ## How a Wash and Vac Visit Works 1. The crew covers or bags nearby catch basins. 2. Loose material is scraped and swept from the worst areas. 3. The road, curb and sidewalk are washed with cold-water pressure. 4. The hydrovac vacuums the slurry from the curb line and low spots as we go. 5. Photos are taken before and after for the site file. Visits are timed around truck traffic, usually first thing in the morning or at the end of the work day. ## Working With Your Sediment Control Plan Wash and vac complements, rather than replaces, the measures on your sediment control plan, such as construction entrance mats, silt fences and catch basin filters. It handles what gets past those measures. Weekly visits during excavation and foundation work, then on-call visits during quieter phases, are the most common pattern. ## Site Wash and Vac Across the GTA Our GTA exterior cleaning [/ →](/) crews serve active sites around Vaughan Metropolitan Centre in Vaughan [/service-areas/vaughan/ →](/service-areas/vaughan/) , downtown condo projects in Toronto Central [/service-areas/toronto/ →](/service-areas/toronto/) , and new subdivisions in Brampton, Markham and Richmond Hill.

Omar F. Harbourfront $960 > "We needed one heavily salted underground level washed before our engineer's membrane review. The crew checked the coating first, kept the pressure low near seams, and vacuumed everything up so the sumps were cleaner after than before. They worked overnight so residents only had to move cars from one level. Communication was clear from the quote to the final photo report, and the COI came within a day. It is rare to find a contractor who understands both the compliance side and the actual cleaning. We will use them for the full garage next spring and have already asked for a quote on the catch basins." Underground garage level wash Mei L. King West $1,150 > "I manage a mid-rise condo in King West and needed the courtyard, entrance plaza and garage ramp done after salt season. The COI arrived the next morning with our corporation named, which never happens with other vendors. They sent resident notice wording we could post in the elevators, worked a Saturday, and used a vacuum system so no wash water went into the drains. The photo report with timestamps went straight into our board package. We have since moved to their annual plan with the price locked for the year. Two other managers in our portfolio have since signed on after seeing the reports." Condo courtyard + entrance spring wash Jason P. Liberty Village $575 > "Large tag across the side wall of our office building. They matched the chemistry to old brick, kept the runoff contained, and sent before and after photos we used to close out the city notice. Quick, careful and clearly experienced with this kind of wall. They also suggested a protective coating so the next tag comes off faster and cheaper." Commercial brick wall graffiti Natalie G. Yorkville $610 > "Our boutique entrance was covered in black gum spots and salt haze. They came at 6am, used hot water on the gum, and were packed up before we opened at 10. The sidewalk looks the way it should for the street we are on. Booking them monthly now. The manager even sent photos to our head office so they could see the before and after without visiting the store." Storefront + sidewalk gum removal Luca V. Trinity Bellwoods $465 > "Running a busy kitchen on Queen West, the back pad and our patio get greasy fast and we were getting fruit flies by July. Their monthly plan covers the patio, rear door and dumpster pad with hot water, done before we open. They recover the dirty water instead of hosing it into the lane drain, which our landlord appreciated. The smell is gone and nobody slips at the back door anymore. Price stays the same every month, and they always send photos so I know it was done properly. When we had a grease spill at the back door on a Friday night, they picked up the phone and had someone out before Saturday brunch." Monthly patio + dumpster pad degrease Got questions? ## Site Wash & Vac FAQs ### What is construction site wash and vac? A combined service where we power wash mud and debris tracked from a site onto roads and sidewalks and vacuum the resulting slurry with a hydrovac, so nothing washes into catch basins. ### Why not just sweep the road? Sweeping picks up dry debris but leaves a film of mud that turns to slurry in the rain and washes into basins. Washing and vacuuming removes it properly. ### How often should an active site book wash and vac? During excavation and wet seasons, weekly visits are common. During quieter phases, on-call visits after big pours or rain events usually work. ### Does this help with sediment control requirements? Yes. It complements your sediment control plan by keeping tracked material off public roads and out of catch basins, and our photos document each visit. ### Can you clean the catch basins near the site? Yes. Our hydrovac can extract sediment from catch basins around the site, and our sister brand Hydrovac Toronto handles larger programs. ### How is it priced? Per visit in writing, with recurring weekly rates and bundled pricing when combined with post-construction power washing. ### Do you work early mornings? Yes. Many sites prefer us before trucks start moving or after the day ends. ### Do you provide a COI and WSIB for site work? Yes, within one business day, naming the general contractor or developer as additional insured. Still have questions? The phone is answered 24/7. Ask about your surface, schedule or COI.
