Hydro Excavation, also known as Hydrovac, is a modern non-destructive digging method designed for precision and safety. Using high-pressure water—either hot or cold—soil is carefully broken up and removed, while a powerful vacuum system extracts the debris simultaneously.

This process allows for accurate and controlled excavation, making it ideal for clearing blocked drains, removing debris, and exposing tree roots or underground services without causing damage. It’s especially effective when used alongside jetting services to safely clear stubborn blockages.

Hydrovac significantly reduces the risk of damaging essential underground infrastructure such as gas lines, electrical cables, fibre optics, and water or sewer pipes—making it a preferred choice for sensitive excavation work.

Our Hydro Excavation truck is fully equipped with an enclosed boiler system, allowing us to operate efficiently even in cold or frozen ground conditions using hot water when required.

No job is out of reach. With extended hoses and flexible setup options, we can access tight or hard-to-reach areas where traditional excavation equipment cannot.
