Every job a hydrovac truck does better
Pressurized water breaks the soil, the vacuum pulls it into the debris tank. That one method covers a lot of ground: here's where it earns its keep. Not sure which one your job needs? Call and describe the site, it's a two-minute conversation.
Daylighting / Potholing
Small, precise test holes that visually expose buried utilities, showing the actual pipe or conduit, its depth, and its position before any machine digs near it.
Before directional boring, trenching, or excavation near marked utilities. Most utility owners and many GCs now require positive visual verification: paint on the ground isn't proof.
Slot Trenching
Narrow trenches cut with water instead of a bucket, as tight as the pipe needs, with clean walls and no over-excavation to backfill.
Installing conduit, fiber, gas or water service lines, especially through congested corridors where a trencher would risk existing utilities.
Utility Locating
Confirming what's actually underground by combining locate marks with physical daylighting so your dig plan is based on verified positions, not records.
Design-phase investigations, as-built verification, or any dig where the utility maps are old, incomplete, or contradictory.
Debris Removal
The vacuum side of the truck on its own, pulling mud, water, slurry, rock, and spoils out of structures and pits, with disposal handled through our partner facility, United Environmental Corp.
Flooded vaults and manholes, catch basins, drilling mud, pier holes, or cleanup after a wet excavation. Anywhere material needs to leave the site fast.
Emergency / 24-7 Excavation
A truck and certified crew dispatched around the clock. Same non-destructive method, compressed timeline.
Line strikes, water main breaks, storm washouts, or a utility that must be exposed tonight so repairs can start at dawn. Call the direct line, it's answered.
Cold-Weather Excavation
Heated water cuts through frozen ground that stops conventional equipment cold, with no ground thawing delays.
Winter utility work at elevation or in the valley fog belt, anywhere frost depth would otherwise idle the job until spring.
Remote / Extended-Reach Excavation
Long hose runs carry the excavation far from where the truck parks, hundreds of feet into places a truck can't go.
Backyards, easements, inside structures, under bridges, steep or soft ground: any dig site without truck access.
