Hydro-Excavation Services

Safe, Precise, Non-Destructive Excavation Solutions

B&W Hydrovac and Site Solutions provides professional hydrovac excavation services for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and municipal projects. Using a combination of high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system, our hydrovac equipment safely excavates soil while minimizing the risk of damage to underground utilities and surrounding infrastructure.

Unlike traditional excavation methods that rely on mechanical digging equipment, hydrovac excavation offers unmatched precision and safety when working around buried utilities, pipelines, communication lines, and other sensitive underground assets.

Whether you need utility daylighting, trenching, potholing, debris removal, or emergency excavation services, our experienced team has the equipment and expertise to complete the job safely and efficiently.

What Is Hydrovac Excavation?

Hydrovac excavation is a non-destructive digging process that uses pressurized water to break up soil while a high-powered vacuum simultaneously removes the resulting slurry into a debris tank.

This process allows contractors and utility companies to expose underground infrastructure with significantly less risk than traditional excavation methods. Hydrovac excavation is particularly valuable in congested utility corridors where multiple underground services may be present.

By accurately exposing buried utilities before construction begins, hydrovac excavation helps prevent utility strikes, project delays, costly repairs, and potential safety hazards.

Our Hydrovac Services:

Utility Daylighting & Utility Verification

Before excavation, drilling, or construction work begins, it is critical to verify the exact location of underground utilities. Our daylighting services safely expose buried infrastructure so contractors can work with confidence. Commonly exposed utilities include:

  • Natural gas lines
  • Water mains
  • Sewer lines
  • Electric lines
  • Fiber optic cables
  • Telecommunications infrastructure

Potholing & Test Hole Excavation

Potholing involves creating small, controlled excavations to verify utility locations and depths before larger construction activities begin.
Benefits include:

  • Improved jobsite safety
  • Reduced utility damage
  • Better project planning
  • Reduced downtime and delays

Utility Trenching

Hydrovac trenching provides a safer method for installing or exposing utility lines while minimizing disturbance to surrounding areas. Ideal for:

  • Water service installations
  • Electrical conduit placement
  • Fiber optic installations
  • Communication line projects
  • Utility maintenance and repairs

Pole, Sign & Structure Installation

Hydrovac excavation creates clean, accurate holes for the following. This method reduces ground disturbance and helps avoid underground utility conflicts.

  • Utility poles
  • Light poles
  • Traffic signals
  • Signage
  • Fence posts
  • Structural supports

Stormwater & Drainage System Cleaning

Our hydrovac equipment is also highly effective for removing debris and sediment from the following. Routine cleaning helps maintain proper flow and reduces the risk of flooding and drainage failures.

  • Storm drains
  • Culverts
  • Catch basins
  • Retention structures
  • Drainage systems

Benefits of Hydrovac Excavation

Improved Safety

One of the biggest advantages of hydrovac excavation is the reduced risk of damaging underground infrastructure. This helps protect workers, nearby property, and critical utility services.

Greater Precision

Hydrovac excavation allows operators to remove soil with exceptional accuracy, making it ideal for working around sensitive utilities and confined areas.

Reduced Restoration Costs

Because hydrovac excavation disturbs less soil, there is often less restoration work required once the project is complete.

Faster Project Completion

Hydrovac equipment can often complete excavation tasks more efficiently than hand digging while providing a safer alternative to mechanical excavation.

Environmentally Responsible

By minimizing unnecessary excavation and soil disruption, hydrovac excavation helps reduce environmental impact and site disturbance.
