New Mexico Vacuum Trucks is part of the LB & Sons family of companies, working in west Texas and southern New Mexico since 1979. LB & Sons is a dba of LB Landscaping, Inc., New Mexico contractor license #389397, classification GS-08 (Earthmoving, Excavating and Ditching).
We run 8 vacuum trucks and work with utility contractors, general contractors, industrial facilities, municipalities and engineering firms. Our crews hold OSHA 10- and 30-hour cards.
Most of what we do comes down to one thing: getting dirt out of the ground without hitting what is buried in it. Hydro excavation lets us expose a gas line, a fiber run or a water main without a blade ever touching it. When a locate is wrong or the as-builts are old, that difference is the whole job.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day. If something is flooded, collapsed or blocking your crew, call us.
High-pressure water and vacuum recovery to dig through soil, clay, caliche and sand without mechanical cutting. No blade, no bucket, no risk to the utility you are digging next to. Faster than hand digging and safer than a backhoe in congested corridors.
Before your crew breaks ground, we expose the existing utilities so you know exactly what is down there and how deep. We pothole and daylight gas, water, sewer, electric and fiber for locating and verification, then backfill. Wrong locates cause strikes; this is how you avoid one.
Narrow, clean trenches cut with water instead of steel. Useful where a mechanical trencher cannot work — tight corridors, congested utility runs, near existing structures, or anywhere a strike would shut your job down.
Post holes, pole holes, pier holes and foundation holes, including high-volume work. Caliche and hard ground are routine here. We have excavated utility pole holes at volume for a regional electric utility.
Flash flooding, a line break, a flooded excavation or a slurry pit that needs to be emptied. Our vacuum trucks pull water, mud, slurry and debris out fast so your crew can get back to work.
High-pressure jetting clears sewer lines, storm drains and culverts of grease, roots, sediment and debris. We clean pipe up to 36 inches in diameter and up to 500 feet in length. Blocked electrical conduit or duct bank? See how we find and clear plugged ducts with hydro excavation and a jetter on our Conduit and Duct Clearing page. Also see Culvert and Storm Drain Cleaning.
