Hydro Vac Excavation
Our core discipline. High-pressure water breaks the ground; the slurry is vacuumed into the truck and hauled to a proper disposal facility — a safe, non-destructive alternative to mechanical digging near buried infrastructure.

Book this service
Daylighting
Safely exposing buried utilities so they are visible and verified before any adjacent work begins — eliminating guesswork on congested sites.
Potholing & Test Holes
Precise vertical test holes that confirm the depth and location of a utility before you commit to a design or a machine dig.
Utility Locating Support
Non-destructive digging alongside your locators to physically confirm crossings, unknowns and conflicts — the trusted second set of eyes.
Slot Trenching
Narrow, clean trenches for conduit, cable and small-diameter pipe with minimal surface disturbance and restoration.
Slurry Removal & Disposal
Vacuuming, hauling and responsible offsite disposal of spoil at an approved facility — the clean finish to every dig.

Why the method wins
Non-destructive by design.
- No utility strikes. Water can't sever a gas, hydro, telecom or water line the way a steel bucket can.
- Precision excavation. Expose exactly what you need in a tight, clean hole — not a wide open trench.
- Crews stay safe. Fewer people in the excavation and less exposure to cave-in and strike hazards.
- Lower total cost. Less restoration and higher productivity turn into real savings on the project.
