Hydro-Excavation

Pressurized water breaks up the soil and a vacuum pulls it into the truck, so you can expose buried lines without damaging them.

Potholing

A small test hole that shows the exact depth and location of a buried line before you bore or dig.

Trenching

Narrow trenches for new lines and repairs, dug next to live utilities without damaging them.

Utility Locating

We locate and mark buried lines before the dig, then pothole to confirm.

What we do

Nothing metal touches the line, so you see exactly what's down there before anyone digs with steel. The spoil goes into the truck and leaves with it, so there's no pile on your site, and we can bring backfill when the job calls for it. Our trucks run heated water, so frozen ground doesn't stop the work.
