How long have you been working?

Hydro excavation is a non-destructive method that uses pressurized water and a powerful vacuum to expose and remove soil safely. It’s commonly used in construction, utility work, and other industries to uncover underground infrastructure precisely.

How fast does a typical hydro vac project take?

Hydro-vac excavation involves injecting pressurized water into the ground to loosen the soil and then using a vacuum system to extract the soil and water slurry. This method is efficient and accurate and minimizes the risk of damaging underground utilities.

What is the craziest project you've completed?

Hydro-vac is chosen for its cost-effectiveness, safety, precision, and environmental friendliness. Compared to traditional excavation methods, it reduces the risk of damage to utilities and minimizes disruption to the surrounding environment.

What set you apart in the industry?

Yes, hydro excavation is considered environmentally friendly. It minimizes soil disturbance, reduces the need for site restoration, and is generally more sustainable than traditional excavation methods.
