What is Hydro Excavation?

Hydro Excavation is a non-destructive method that combines pressurized water and vacuum technology to safely dig into the earth. The high-pressure water breaks up and softens the soil, while the vacuum system immediately extracts the material, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding environment. This process is ideal for sensitive, congested, or hard-to-reach locations.
