Silt Pit Emptying
Silt pit and silt trap emptying for construction sites, car parks, and drainage systems across Yorkshire.
Silt pits collect sediment from surface water runoff and must be emptied before they reach capacity. Our vacuum tanker removes silt, sludge, and debris from silt pits, catch pits, and settlement chambers — keeping your drainage system flowing and preventing flooding on site. Drains First Limited serves construction, commercial, and industrial clients across Leeds and Yorkshire.
