Drinkable water is critical to human life.

If you are in need of a vacuum truck, water extraction services, or a supply of potable water, our team can be dispatched to you quickly in order to get your emergency recovery plan in motion.
Vacuum Truck Emergency Water Removal Services
To remove volumes of water fast, you need a vac truck. Our specialized and versatile fleet of vacuum trucks can remove thousands of gallons of water quickly and haul it away for treatment and disposal.
When a storm hits or a sewer water emergency happens, black water floods can bring health and safety hazards to your home or business. If other liquids, solids, sludge, or mud are involved, vacuum trucks can handle it. Our emergency water service technicians are experts who work quickly and efficiently to remove the problem fast.
Getting the water out of your property quickly is imperative in order to minimize health hazards, prevent secondary water damage, and mitigate the risk of mold. RMI regularly responds to calls for vacuum trucks to handle a variety of issues such as:

Is My Water Safe After a Flood or Hurricane?
It depends on the size of the flood and where your regular supply of water comes from. In the event of any storm, flood, or hurricane, it’s important to listen to the news, check with your health department, contact your utility company, or refer to FEMA resources to determine when or if the water is safe to use.
Wells, public water supplies, and other sources of water can be contaminated and extremely unsafe following a flood or hurricane. Microbes, pollutants, bacteria, and other debris can make people sick and even result in a public health hazard.
Stomach illnesses, cholera, hepatitis, and other dangers are possible if people drink, cook, or bathe in contaminated water. While you may find that your supply is safe or that it needs to be boiled for safety, untreated water can definitely pose a risk to humans and animals. A potable water delivery may be helpful during this time.
Potable Water, Tank Rental, and Emergency Water Hauling Services
If municipal water supplies are contaminated or infrastructure is in failure after a disaster, you may need a steady supply of water to continue the operation of your business. Potable water delivery services can bridge the gap until a permanent solution can be found.
Our emergency water response services team can coordinate tank rentals, delivery, or emergency tank fill-ups for a steady and reliable supply of water to industries and organizations that can’t function without water.
Emergency water services can provide potable water for many purposes including:
Manufacturing Operations, Industrial Sites
Food packaging, beverage production factories, and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities require clean water to continue operations. These industries are critical to life on an everyday basis, but when operations are threatened, scarcity can create a problem for the entire community.
Potable water delivery can ensure the continued production and delivery of medicine and food. Having a safe water supply prevents a manufacturing problem from becoming a critical emergency that can impact the lives of people who depend on their services.
Livestock, Agriculture, and Farming
Potable water can make all the difference when dealing with live products. Plant and animal requirements can be met when contaminated water supplies have put your agricultural operations at risk.
Trucks can deliver temporary rental tanks to your location and pumps can be optimized to ensure the flow of clean water. If cisterns are available on your property, we can fill them. Potable water delivery can irrigate your crops, water your livestock, and provide for your sanitary and drinking needs when an emergency threatens your livelihood.
Clean, Seal and Fill Cisterns
When cisterns become damaged, it can lead to the accumulation of sediment and other debris inside the water supply. Microbes and other microorganisms can thrive in these conditions, making the stored water unfit for use. Emergency water services can be called upon to provide safe water to repair and maintain cisterns.
Potable water delivery provides a means for the cistern to be flushed out and cleaned of any debris so that it can be sanitized and prepared for refilling and storage of safe drinking water.
Tank Rentals for Emergency Water Supply
When safe water supplies will be cut off for unknown periods of time, a water tank rental can be placed on your property.
Tanks can be delivered, optimized for proper flow, monitored for refills, and removed when it is no longer necessary. If your operation has higher water requirements, multiple tanks can be delivered and set up to meet your needs.
If a power outage, plumbing disaster, or serious weather event creates a need for an emergency water service call, we can help you with solutions to your water needs.
