Industrial Cleaning

Industrial cleaning services from a licensed hazardous waste contractor

HCI Environmental provides industrial cleaning services for commercial, industrial and regulated facilities across Southern California. The difference from a janitorial or general cleaning vendor is simple. The material that comes out of your tanks, clarifiers and process equipment is usually regulated waste, and HCI is licensed to characterize it, transport it and dispose of it. One crew cleans the equipment and closes the paperwork.

Vacuum trucks from 1,500 to 5,500 gallons pump out sludges, tank bottoms, oily water, coolant and process fluids. Bulk liquids move in tankers up to 6,000 gallons, and solids go out in roll-offs. Crews are trained in confined space entry and work in the protective equipment the hazard calls for. Crane and flatbed trucks handle tank and equipment removal when a cleanout is the first step toward decommissioning.

Through its Healthy Clean Interiors Program, HCI also decontaminates facility interiors, fleet vehicles and shared equipment after suspected or confirmed contamination involving bacteria, viruses or hazardous contaminants, on a scheduled program or a 24/7 response basis. A Certificate of Decontamination confirming the date and scope of work is issued after each service.

How it works

How an industrial cleaning job runs

Scoped up front, cleaned by one crew, closed with the waste paperwork.

1

Scope the work

Tell us the equipment, the material inside it, approximate volumes and access. If the material is unknown, we characterize it before anything is pumped.

2

Written quote and plan

You get a written quote and the plan for the job, including confined space procedures and a health and safety plan when the work calls for one.

3

Clean and remove

Crews pump, clean and load out. Vacuum trucks take liquids and sludges, roll-offs take solids, and crane or flatbed trucks remove tanks and equipment if that is in scope.

Haul and document

Removed material is manifested and transported to a permitted facility under HCI's licenses. Decontamination services close with a Certificate of Decontamination.

Track record

A track record in plants, hangars and public facilities

What industrial cleaning services does HCI provide?
Vacuum truck pump-outs of tanks, clarifiers and process equipment, removal of sludges, oily water, coolant and process fluids, confined space cleaning, tank and equipment removal, and facility, vehicle and equipment decontamination. Everything removed is characterized and hauled under HCI's hazardous waste licenses.
Do you pump out tanks and clarifiers?
Yes. Vacuum trucks from 1,500 to 5,500 gallons handle liquids and sludges, and tankers up to 6,000 gallons take bulk liquids. When a tank or clarifier is coming out for good, HCI's crane and flatbed trucks and Class A contractor license cover the removal as well.
Can you work in confined spaces?
Yes. HCI personnel are trained in confined space entry and wear respirators, gloves and other protective equipment matched to the hazard. HCI has also provided confined space oversight for a pipeline contractor on a landfill project.
What happens to the sludge and liquids you remove?
They are characterized, manifested and transported to a permitted treatment, storage and disposal facility under HCI's own EPA, DOT and California licenses. You receive the manifest and disposal documentation for your generator file.
Do you offer scheduled programs?
Yes. Recurring pump-outs are sized to what your facility generates, and the Healthy Clean Interiors Program runs scheduled decontamination of high touch surfaces, shared tools and operational equipment across large or heavily used spaces.
What is the Healthy Clean Interiors Program?
HCI's interior decontamination service for commercial, industrial and regulated facilities. Crews evaluate the space, identify contaminated equipment and materials, and apply cleaning solutions and disinfectants selected for the exposure, with attention to contact time and surface compatibility. The method follows Environmental Protection Agency guidance, and a Certificate of Decontamination is issued after each service.
Do you clean offices or homes?
No residential work. HCI serves commercial, industrial and regulated facilities that need structured procedures, documentation and licensed handling of what is removed.
How do we get a quote for industrial cleaning?
Send the equipment involved, the material inside it, approximate volumes and access details through the form and you will receive a written quote. Urgent contamination or a release in progress goes to 800.988.4424.
