Hydrovacing - Next Level Directional Drilling

Hydrovacing uses high-pressure water and vacuum systems to dig precisely without damaging underground utilities. It’s the safest, most efficient method for exposing buried infrastructure.

Utility Locating and Exposure (Daylighting)

Safe, non-destructive excavation to uncover underground utilities such as gas lines, water mains, and electrical conduits. Prevents costly damage and ensures precise utility mapping before construction.

Trenching for Utility Installation

Precision-cut trenches ideal for placing new infrastructure—water, gas, electricity, fiber optics, or sewer lines. Perfect for confined spaces or busy urban environments.

Potholing and Test Holes

Quick, efficient small-diameter excavations used to verify utility locations. Perfect for reducing risk prior to drilling, boring, or other ground disturbances.

Slot Trenching

Narrow trenching solution used for installing pipes, cables, or irrigation lines. Maintains surface integrity and minimizes restoration costs.

Pole and Piling Hole Excavation

Excavates clean, accurate holes for poles, pilings, signposts, and fencing while reducing risk to nearby underground infrastructure.

Cold Weather Excavation

Hydrovacing remains effective in frozen ground conditions, allowing year-round operation when traditional digging methods fail.

Pipeline and Facility Maintenance

Enables safe removal of soil around tanks, pipelines, and sensitive equipment for routine inspections, repairs, or upgrades without causing damage.

Catch Basin and Culvert Cleaning

Clears debris and sediment from drainage systems to ensure proper function and reduce flooding risk in urban and rural settings.

Remote Excavation Access

Hydrovac trucks with extended hose systems can reach inaccessible areas—behind structures, inside facilities, or through narrow passages—without disturbing the site

What to Expect:

Project Review

We review the scope (utility locating, trenching, pole hole, etc.) and inspect site access, soil type, and any constraints.
Safety Setup

Traffic control and signage are deployed where needed. All team members follow strict safety protocols.
Excavation Process

We use pressurized water to loosen the soil and a powerful vacuum system to remove debris—precise, non-destructive, and clean.
Service Completion

Once the excavation goal is reached (e.g., exposed utilities, dug trench), we backfill or prep the area for the next phase.
Site Cleanup & Documentation

The work area is cleaned, and we provide any needed documentation for inspections or utility verifications.
