What is Hydrovac Excavation?
Hydrovac excavation, also known as hydro excavation or vacuum excavation, uses pressurized water and a powerful vacuum system to safely break up and remove soil. This non-destructive digging method allows crews to expose underground utilities with greater precision and less risk of damage compared to traditional excavation.
Hydrovac is ideal for working around sensitive underground infrastructure, including gas lines, water lines, sewer systems, fiber optics, and underground electric utilities.
