Vac Truck Hire Inner West Sydney
Mini Vac for Heritage Terraces

The Inner West is built for the mini vac. Most homes here are heritage terraces or Federation cottages from the early 1900s, with narrow frontages, side gates that measure 900 mm or less, no rear lane access, and tightly packed neighbours on either side. A full-size 8,000 litre vac truck cannot get within 30 m of most Inner West rear yards. Pro Expose runs the mini vac specifically for this kind of work.

Our Inner West service area covers Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt, Annandale, Glebe, Balmain, Rozelle, Stanmore, Camperdown, Erskineville, Enmore, Petersham, Lewisham, Dulwich Hill, Ashfield, Summer Hill and Croydon. The work mix leans heritage residential: terrace renovations needing service exposure before footing design, blocked drains in pre-1980 clay sewer lines, fibre optic confirmation before NBN trenching along older streets, and emergency drain callouts for the converted unit blocks and shop-top apartments common to Newtown and Marrickville.

Why Inner West builders, plumbers and homeowners specifically call us: the mini vac, the careful approach to heritage paving, and the fact that we actually take terrace work other operators turn down. Read more about our mini vac truck, tight-access potholing and blocked drain clearing.

• The mini vac actually fits. 900 mm side gates, narrow Newtown lanes, terrace courtyards with no rear access. The mini vac is the differentiator in the Inner West because most operators physically cannot reach the dig site.
• Heritage paving and garden protection. Sandstone paths, tessellated tile entries, established mature gardens. Our hose runs are laid on protective matting. We treat the property like the heritage asset it is.
• Old clay sewer specialty. Inner West blocked drains are nearly always tree roots in earthenware joints. Industrial jetter, vac extraction, CCTV inspection. More on blocked drains.
• Plumber and builder referrals. A lot of our Inner West work comes through plumber referral when their jet rodder cannot clear it, or builder referral when their excavator cannot reach the dig point. Single-truck, single-crew, single-visit problem solver.

Full Pro Expose catalogue runs across the Inner West. Each service tailored to the heritage terrace and inner-city context.

From our Merrylands depot we run same-day dispatch to Inner West suburbs including Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt, Glebe, Balmain and Stanmore via the M4-to-City West Link or Anzac Bridge approach. Standard quoting hours Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm. Emergency callouts available 24/7.

Standard booked jobs in the Inner West typically see a truck on site within 45 to 75 minutes of confirmation during business hours. Off-peak runs are at the lower end of that range. Peak-hour traffic on the City West Link or Parramatta Road can stretch the upper end, especially Friday afternoons.

Emergency response is 24/7. After-hours dispatch from depot avoids peak traffic, so most Inner West emergency callouts see a truck on site inside 60 to 75 minutes regardless of time. For weekend and night-time terrace blocked drain emergencies (a common Inner West pattern), this is well within the response window.

Standard travel applies to the Inner West. No edge-of-metro mobilisation fee. The hourly rate covers the truck on site, the operator, water, vacuum and standard spoil disposal. Full pricing detail on the vac truck rates page.
