Hydrovac Services in Raleigh, North Carolina

Hydrovac is short for hydro excavation. This specialized equipment uses pressurized water and a high-power vacuum to dislodge the ground and move it right to a tank to be removed from the property. Our hydrovac services are most commonly used for underground utility installation but can be helpful for a wide variety of projects. If you have a concern and would like to know if hydrovac services would be an ideal solution, we are happy to assess your project and give you our professional recommendation. If it isn’t the best way to go, we will let you know about other potential options.

While our process is tough on dirt, it won’t harm other materials. That makes hydrovac services an ideal option for the safe exposure of underground pipelines, manifolds, septic systems, and to unearth cabling that needs to be repaired. In addition, since it only gently agitates the earth, it is fine to have us perform hydrovac services close to buildings and other infrastructure.

What are hydrovac services?
The term “hydrovac” is short for hydro-vacuum excavation, and it refers to a method of using pressurized water to drill through soil. First, jets of hot water are used to loosen the soil, and then a vacuum is used to suck up the wet dirt. The muddy material is collected into a tanker truck and then taken to a dump location and disposed of.
What are hydrovac services used for?

Hydrovac services can be used for many applications, such as exposing underground utilities for maintenance; digging trenches to install cables, pipes, and other underground infrastructure; digging piling holes; removing debris; and more.

What are the benefits of hydrovac services?

The main advantage of hydrovac services over other methods of excavation is that hydrovac excavation allows you to remove dirt and soil without damaging other materials.
