WHAT WE OFFER
Our Services for Municipalities & Government
Utility Location & Exposure
Daylighting
Safe, non-destructive exposure of underground utilities for verification, maintenance access, and capital improvement projects — without the risk of damaging critical public infrastructure.
Potholing
Precise utility locating and marking before excavation begins. We verify depth, position, and condition so your crews can work with confidence and your projects stay compliant.
Service Pits
Clean, accurate access points for utility connections, repairs, and inspections. Our hydro excavation method keeps the surrounding area intact and reduces restoration costs.
Sewer & Stormwater Services
Sewer Line Cleaning
High-pressure hydro jetting to clear blockages, remove buildup, and restore flow in municipal sewer mains, laterals, and storm drains. We service lines of all sizes, from residential connections to large-diameter trunk lines.
Emergency Response
When a main breaks, a sewer backs up, or a utility emergency threatens public safety, our team is available 24/7. We deploy fast and work efficiently to minimize disruption to residents and services.
Excavation & Infrastructure Services
Slot Trenching
Narrow, precise trenching for new utility installation with minimal surface disruption. Ideal for right-of-way work where protecting existing infrastructure and reducing restoration costs is a priority.
Trenching
Efficient underground pathway creation for water, sewer, gas, and telecommunications systems — executed safely around existing utilities.
Test Pits
Subsurface investigation to verify utility locations, assess soil conditions, and resolve conflicts before capital projects break ground. Supports accurate design and reduces costly field change orders.
SEWER SERVICES
Municipal Sewer Line Cleaning Services
York Hydro Vac provides professional sewer line cleaning services to municipalities and government agencies throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland. Our high-pressure hydro jetting systems effectively remove stubborn blockages, grease buildup, tree root intrusion, and sediment accumulation that reduce system capacity and lead to costly overflows and backups.
Our non-destructive approach thoroughly cleans pipe walls without causing damage, extending the service life of your existing infrastructure and reducing the frequency of emergency calls. We work with municipal sewer systems and stormwater networks of all sizes, offering both scheduled maintenance programs and rapid emergency response when systems fail unexpectedly.

THE ADVANTAGE
Why Municipalities Choose York Hydro Vac
01
Non-Destructive Methods
Traditional mechanical excavation puts aging public infrastructure at risk. Our hydro excavation approach uses pressurized water to break up soil with precision, eliminating the mechanical impact that causes utility strikes, pipe damage, and costly secondary repairs. Your infrastructure stays protected — and so does your budget.
02
24/7 Emergency Response
Infrastructure failures don't wait for business hours. Our local team is available around the clock for burst water mains, sewer backups, and utility emergencies that require immediate response. When public safety is on the line, we're ready to deploy.
03
All-Weather Capabilities
Our hydro excavation equipment operates effectively in frozen ground conditions, keeping municipal maintenance and capital projects on schedule regardless of the season. When traditional excavation methods can't perform in winter conditions, we can.
04
Local Knowledge
We serve municipalities across Pennsylvania and Maryland and understand the region's infrastructure, soil conditions, and permitting processes. Our team knows how to navigate local requirements efficiently so your projects move forward without unnecessary delays.
