Combination (Combo) Truck for Rent in Boston, MA

For Boston-area work that needs vacuum, water, and debris capacity, a combination (combo) truck rental is often the practical alternative to buying.

Renting makes sense in Boston when Utility construction (National Grid/Eversource gas), Municipal sewer & water (MWRA), and deep foundation & tunnel construction projects demand vacuum capacity for weeks, not years.

Boston's post-Big-Dig underground is a maze of tunnels, MBTA lines and utilities packed under filled land, so gas main replacement and foundation work demand precise hydrovac excavation to avoid strikes. National Grid and Eversource leak-prone cast-iron gas mains keep potholing crews busy across the region.

Water (rodder) capacity

Common jobs for a combination (combo) truck in Boston

Sewer main cleaning

Jet high-pressure water down a sanitary or combined sewer main to cut through grease, roots, and settled solids, then vacuum the loosened debris out at the downstream manhole to restore flow capacity.

Catch-basin and storm-drain cleanout

Vacuum accumulated sediment, sand, leaves, and trash out of catch basins, storm inlets, and culverts, and jet-flush connecting lines to keep stormwater systems draining.

Manhole and wet-well cleaning

Remove grit, sludge, and standing water from manholes, lift-station wet wells, and interceptors so crews can inspect structures and pumps safely.

Pipe inspection prep (pre-CCTV)

Jet and vacuum a line clean before a camera crew runs CCTV inspection, giving a clear, debris-free view of pipe condition and defects.
