Why Hydrovac

Hydrovac vs. Traditional Digging

Safety
No blade, no bucket, no strike risk on live lines.
One bucket tooth finds the gas line for you.
Precision
Exact hole size and depth — nothing extra removed.
Oversized excavation and disturbed bedding.
Speed
Minutes per test hole instead of hours of hand digging.
Shovels, spotters, and a crew standing around.
Less Restoration
Small footprint, less asphalt and turf to put back.
Wide open cut, more patching, more cost.
Works in Frozen Ground
Water cuts frost that stops conventional digging.
Frost breakers, delays, and torn-up surfaces.

How it works

01

Pressurized water loosens soil

A focused water wand breaks up soil without cutting anything solid.

02

Vacuum removes the slurry

The spoil goes straight into our debris tank — no pile on your site.

03

Utility exposed intact

You get eyes on the line, exact depth, and zero damage.
