The process of Hydro Excavation, the only non-destructive method of digging, utilizes pressurized water and a vacuum system to quickly and safely expose underground infrastructure. During the hydrovac process, pressurized water is injected into the ground through a handheld wand.

Hydro-Excavation is a process high pressure water is used to loosen soil, rocks, clay, gravel and other earth material while it is contiually "sucked up" into a debris tank for later disposal.

 

Advancements in Hydro-Excavation since its inception have made it the de facto standard for providing a non-destructive means to safely locate utilities and precisely excavate an area. The process is widely regarded and highly valued for being safe and effective.

Our Hydro-Vac trucks have saved the industry millions of dollars by preventing breakage of important utilities and existing landscape. Because only the immediate hole is disturbed, there is minimal remediation required and therefore money saved.
