Types of hydrovac work

Soil removed with water, not steel.

Hydro-excavation softens the ground with pressurized water and lifts the slurry away by vacuum. Nothing buried gets struck, so it is the safest, most accurate way to expose utilities, dig trenches, and clean out tanks in places a backhoe should never go.

  • Hydro trenching

    Pressurized water turns soil into a slurry that the truck vacuums away, opening clean trenches and exposing the layers below.

  • Hydrolasing

    High-pressure water cleaning at scale. It flushes out pipes and large tanks and blasts away grime that ordinary washing cannot touch.

  • Daylighting

    Carefully exposing buried pipes and lines to the surface, both to map where they run and to inspect them for damage, safely.

WHY HYDROVAC

Lower risk, higher precision.

Minimal risk of damage

Water cuts and loosens soil while leaving wiring, piping, and structures below untouched. Then it is vacuumed clear.

Works in winter

The water can run hot, cutting through frozen ground so repair and construction keep moving through the cold months.

Fewer delays

No struck lines means no stopping to repair them. Projects finish on schedule instead of stalling on a hidden utility.

Pinpoint accuracy

A flexible wand throws a tight, precise jet, so an experienced operator can target one spot without disturbing what is beside it.
