What is Hydro Excavation?
Hydro excavation is a precise and non-destructive method of excavation that uses high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system to safely expose underground utilities and other buried infrastructure. Unlike traditional digging methods, hydro excavation minimizes the risk of damaging pipes, cables, or other structures, making it ideal for sensitive or congested areas. It’s a reliable solution for projects that demand accuracy, safety, and minimal surface disruption.


Hydro excavation is an efficient method for removing debris and buildup from storm drains, catch basins, manholes, culverts, and lift stations. Its non-destructive, safely clearing blockages without damaging infrastructure. On construction sites, it helps maintain clean, safe, and efficient work areas by quickly removing mud, water, and debris.
