What We Do

Hydro Excavation is the process of using heavy equipment know as a Hydrovac to trench through the ground. Water under high pressure cuts through the soil and a high volume vacuum then sucks up the slurry debris. Hydro Excavation is a gentle, fast, and efficient solution which serves a variety of functions. Most often used for Potholing or Daylighting, Hydrovacs are capable of exposing underground utilities like pipelines without damaging them with the heavy equipment.

Hydrovac Applications
