About Adams Services

Tank Cleaning, Vacuum Truck & Hazmat Expertise in California Since 1986

OUR STORY

Forty years of doing the job right

Founded in 1986, Adams Services is a family-owned and -operated business that's spent four decades in the hazmat services industry, building a reputation on precision, compliance, and follow-through. What started as a family commitment to doing the job right has grown into a statewide operation — but the values haven't changed. When you call us, you're not talking to a call center or a rotating account manager; you're working with a company where the people answering the phone have a personal stake in getting your job done right.

The standard hasn't changed since day one: certified crews, compliant equipment, and a commitment to doing the job right — not just fast. Four decades in an industry this regulated doesn't happen by accident; it happens by earning trust one job at a time, the same way a family business always has.
