THE PROCESS
How Hydro Excavation Works
Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water and a vacuum to safely dig around utilities and sensitive infrastructure. High-pressure water breaks up the soil, creating a slurry that's removed by vacuum into a truck-mounted debris tank.
This non-destructive method is safer, more environmentally-friendly, and more precise than traditional excavation, with less disruption to surrounding areas.
