HYDRO VAC SERVICES
Using a high pressure water and vacuum system, we are able to excavate or expose underground services and remove material from technical and sensitive areas. This is a safe and non-destructive approach to excavation leaving buried utilities and surrounding infrastructure intact and undamaged.
This process uses a high pressure water stream to liquify and break through the soil. The mixture of debris is then extracted by our vacuum system into a holding tank on the truck which can operate up to 600 ft away from the dig site. We can excavate into a variety of soils, including clay and hard packed dirt, up to 50 feet deep and in frozen soil conditions.
A safe, non-destructive alternative to digging.
