Trash Pumps for Construction Dewatering
When jobsite water contains mud, sand, and debris, trash pumps are built to keep things moving. Designed to handle dirty water with solids, these pumps use a high-volume centrifugal system to move water quickly without clogging—making them a go-to for muddy trenches and active construction sites.
Trash pumps are ideal for moderately dirty water with small debris and are commonly used during spring thaw and mud season when runoff overwhelms jobsites. Our 3″ Multiquip trash pump rentals typically deliver 150–300+ GPM, providing the flow needed to keep up with incoming water and prevent work stoppages.
All pump rentals include matching discharge and suction hoses.
Common applications include:
- Utility trench dewatering
- Stormwater and runoff management
- Excavation site cleanup
- Roadwork and site prep
- General construction water removal
Trash pumps are the first line of defense for keeping trenches clear and crews productive when conditions get wet and unpredictable.
