Why Airvac?

The Benefits of Vacuum Sewer Systems 

Vacuum sewer systems are an ideal candidate in any community.

Vacuum sewer systems are particularly attractive in environmentally sensitive areas or where difficult subsurface conditions exist - such as a high groundwater table, acid sulfate soils, unstable soils, rock, and restricted construction conditions. 

Vacuum sewer systems are ideal for septic to sewer conversions as well as private developments.

Easier Than Traditional Systems

Environmentally friendly, efficient, easy to maintain, easy to install and typically less expensive than other collection systems.

Proven Technology

Proven technology with a long history of success and reliability. Running in over 30 states and 38 countries around the world.

Safe for Operators

Operators never come in contact with raw sewage. Confined spaces are not an issue.

Get Rid of Lift Stations

Multiple lift stations can be replaced. It is not uncommon for one vacuum station to replace 6-8 gravity lift stations.

Easy Installation

Fast and simple excavation creates shallower trenches and uses smaller excavation equipment. Roads can remain fully or partially opened, creating far less disruption to your community.

Only One Source of Power Required

Only one source of power is required at the vacuum station. A standby generator at the vacuum station provides uninterrupted service during power outages. No power is required at the house/valve pit.

Environmentally Friendly

Environmentally friendly. The system is entirely closed, prohibiting infiltration and inflow of groundwater, which protects waterways from exfiltrating wastewater. This also results in a reduced load on the treatment plant.

Predictable Installation Cost

Cost overruns are avoided due to vacuum’s vertical and horizontal routing flexibility. This allows unforeseen underground utility conflicts to easily be avoided.

Low Maintenance Cost

Low operation and maintenance costs.

Blockages Almost Non-existant

Blockages are almost nonexistent.
