Vac Truck Hire in the Inner West, Sydney
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, restricted side access, 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. a 2100 mm-wide truck, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vac Truck Hire in the Inner West
Can you fit a vac truck through a heritage terrace side gate in the Inner West?
Yes. The Pro Expose mini vac is built specifically for tight access. It is 2100 mm wide. Where vehicle access is restricted, the truck can remain outside while its 90 mm vacuum hose reaches the work location. We park the truck street-side, run the hose through the gate (typically 15 to 25 m of hose), and reach the rear yard. Most full-size operators turn down terrace work because their trucks cannot get within 30 m of the dig site. The mini vac solves this access problem cleanly.
Do you handle blocked drains in older Inner West homes?
Yes, and it is one of our most common Inner West jobs. Pre-1980 terraces in Newtown, Marrickville, Camperdown, Glebe, Balmain and Rozelle typically have earthenware or vitreous clay sewer lines that crack with age and let tree roots in. The classic Inner West blocked drain pattern: heritage Moreton Bay fig or jacaranda root mass invading a clay sewer joint near the rear yard. Industrial jetter cuts the roots, vac truck extracts the mass, and the post-clear CCTV camera shows you the entry points so a plumber can quote a permanent pipe relining or replacement.
How do you protect heritage paving and gardens during a vac truck job?
Heritage Inner West properties get treated carefully. Hose runs are laid over protective matting where they cross paving, lawn or garden beds. We avoid dragging hoses across sandstone paving, original tessellated tile entries or established planting. Spoil is contained at the dig point so it does not spread across the yard. Backfill uses the original spoil where reusable, plus clean sand or gravel where required, and surface reinstatement matches what was there before. We document the site condition before and after with photos. Heritage homes are part of why the mini vac exists.
