FAQs

We’re here to answer all your common questions about Hydro Excavation.

  • Why is hydro excavation?

    In typical excavation, soil is removed with traditional equipment like backhoes or other excavators. Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water to obliterate the soil by mixing it with water. Specialized excavation equipment then removes the soil.

  • Does hydro excavation require special equipment?

    Yes, we utilize a special kind of excavation truck called a vac truck. This hydro excavation truck uses vacuum pressure to remove the soil/water mixture from the ground. Once the mixture has been sucked out of the hole, it is deposited into the truck’s debris tank.

  • What if the soil is frozen?

    Hydro excavation trucks are fitted with heaters, allowing heated water to penetrate frozen soil in cold weather.

  • How do I know if hydro excavation is right for my project?

    Hydro excavation is an optimal solution to avoid damage to underground utilities, tree roots, or other underground facilities. It has many applications, including daylighting, potholing, slot trenching, culvert cleaning, and more.
