About Us

Drane Ranger is a Houston, Texas liquid waste management and vacuum truck services company, in business since 1985, that cleans grease, grit and lint traps, lift stations and wet wells, septic tanks and wash bay pits for businesses and homeowners across the Greater Houston area. Our legal name is Drane Ranger Vacuum Services.

Restaurants, car washes, hotels, laundries, schools, healthcare facilities, industrial sites and property managers call us when a trap, pit, tank or wet well needs to be emptied and the waste needs to leave the site. Homeowners call us for the same reason when a septic tank is due. Either way, the job is the same: remove the waste, haul it away for disposal and keep disruption to your operation down.

The Drane Ranger story

Drane Ranger has served the Houston area since 1985. From the beginning, the business has been built on two things: customer service and outstanding work.

That focus shows up in small ways on every job. Our crews stay courteous and mindful of your customers and your business while they work, because a pump-out at a restaurant, hotel or school happens around people who still need the place to run.

It also shapes how we sell our services. Rather than fitting every customer into a package deal, we build service around what each site actually needs, whether that is a single visit for an urgent problem or a regular schedule for a waste stream that never stops.

What Drane Ranger does

Drane Ranger uses vacuum trucks to remove liquid, sludge and semi-solid waste from the collection points where it builds up. Our liquid waste services cover:

• Grease trap cleaning and grease trap odor control for commercial kitchens
• Grit trap cleaning for car washes, dealerships and other vehicle wash sites
• Lint trap cleaning for commercial laundries
• Lift station cleaning, wet well cleaning and inspection of pumps, valves and pipes
• Septic tank pumping, cleaning, inspection and maintenance
• Wash bay pit and mud pit pumping for equipment, fleet and car wash operations
• Non-hazardous wastewater collection and disposal

Once the waste is collected, we haul it away for disposal at the facilities we work with.

Who Drane Ranger serves

Drane Ranger works mainly with businesses and facilities that produce liquid waste on a steady cycle. That includes restaurants and commercial kitchens, hotels, car washes and auto facilities, paint and body shops, dry cleaners and laundromats, hospitals and healthcare facilities, schools and day cares, warehouses and commercial properties, construction yards, fleet maintenance and heavy equipment sites, industrial facilities, water and wastewater treatment facilities, and waste transportation companies.

Many of these customers need the same work done again and again, at one site or several. When you contact us, we ask what type of location you have, what kind of waste it produces and how many locations need service, so the plan fits the whole operation rather than a single visit.

Homeowners and small businesses with septic systems are part of our work too. If your property is not connected to a municipal sewer, our septic tank services cover pumping, cleaning, inspection and maintenance for residential, commercial and industrial properties.

How Drane Ranger works

Drane Ranger starts every job with a conversation. You tell us about the issue, the type of property and the waste system involved, and our own staff works through access, waste type and the timing your operation needs, so you deal with Drane Ranger itself from the first call to the finished job.

On the day of service, our crew positions the vacuum truck at your collection point, places the hose into the access point and extracts the liquid waste, sludge or semi-solid material. The waste is then hauled away for disposal.

Paperwork matters to our customers, especially restaurants and car washes that keep records for inspections. Our service records include the service date, waste quantities, disposal facility information and any system issues we identified. We also keep your service history and schedule upcoming appointments, so tracking the next due date does not fall entirely on you.

For recurring waste streams, we plan service intervals around your volume, system type and operating needs. When a backup, overflow or other urgent issue is active, call us as soon as possible: Drane Ranger prioritizes urgent calls.
