Material 01
Pea gravel
The 3/8 washed rock sitting on most older built-up roofs. Fastest material we handle and the cheapest per square.
Subcontract roof vacuuming · Edmonton, Alberta
Your crew should not be shovelling gravel.
We vacuum pea gravel, ballast and river rock off commercial flat roofs so your tear-off starts clean and on schedule. Suck It works for roofing contractors, not building owners. Your client stays your client.

Who we work for
A vacuum crew you can sub, not a competitor.
Most ballast removal quotes come from somebody who would rather have the whole roof. We would not. Vacuuming is the service. You keep the tear-off, the membrane, the relationship and the invoice. We show up, pull the rock, haul it off and get out of your way.
01We quote to you, never around you to the building owner.
02Your name on the site sign. We are your vacuum crew for the day.
03Fully equipped: vacuum unit, service truck, hose runs and operators.
04We run this same equipment on our own tear-offs, so nothing about your roof is new to us.
05Quotes back fast, in writing, with the logistics spelled out.
What comes off
Aggregate, ballast and loose debris.
Priced by the square off your roof area. Tell us the stone and we will tell you what it runs.
Material 02
Ballast rock
Small and medium ballast off loose-laid membrane. Pavers pulled and stacked by your crew, stone handled by ours.
Material 03
River rock
Large ballast and river rock. Slower feed, heavier load, and the material where hand work really starts costing you.
Material 04
Plant and industrial
Refineries, plants and process facilities. Site orientation, safety paperwork and facility rules handled before we start.
How a job runs
Four steps, start to swept.
01
Mobilize
Vacuum truck, service truck and crew to site. We stage where your access allows and run hose to the roof from grade.
02
Vacuum
Rock lifted straight off the membrane into the unit. On tall or spread out roofs we reposition and add hose to reach the far corners.
03
Haul
Collected aggregate stays in the unit and leaves with us. No chute, no bin rental sitting in the parking lot for a week.
04
Clean and hand back
Work area swept at the end of every day and the roof handed to your crew ready to strip. Start times coordinated with your foreman.
The math
Vacuum versus hand and chute.
Same rock, two very different weeks.
Shovels, buggies and a chute
The old way
- Bodies tied up. Your best hands moving stone instead of installing membrane.
- Bins and chute rental parked on site, plus tipping runs and traffic control around the drop zone.
- Dust and complaints from the tenant, the parking lot and the neighbours.
- Injury exposure across days of repetitive lifting at height.
Suck It
The vacuum way
- Your crew stays on the tools and starts the roof when the rock is gone.
- One line item on your bid, quoted before you price the job.
- Material leaves with the truck. Nothing staged on the ground, nothing to schedule around.
- Contained handling instead of open drops through a chute.
