Common Questions

Hydro Excavation FAQ

Hydro excavation uses pressurized water to loosen soil and a vacuum system to remove it. It exposes buried utilities precisely and safely, without the damage risk of mechanical digging.

Any time you are digging near marked utilities, in tight spaces, around tree roots, or where surface damage must be minimized. It is the standard method for daylighting, potholing, and slot trenching near live lines.

Locating marks the approximate path of a line on the surface. Daylighting physically exposes the line so you can see its exact position and depth.
