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

A small test hole that shows the exact depth and location of a buried line before you bore or dig.
Narrow trenches for new lines and repairs, dug next to live utilities without damaging them.
We locate and mark buried lines before the dig, then pothole to confirm.

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.

What is hydro-excavation?
+
High-pressure water breaks up the soil and rock, and an industrial vacuum pulls it into a tank on the truck. The material stays in the tank until we haul it off.
Why use hydrovac instead of a backhoe?
+
A metal bucket can tear through a line before anyone sees it. Water and vacuum don't. Hydrovac also needs no staging area or dump trucks, so it works on tight city sites, usually without anyone going into the trench.
Is hydro-excavation better for the environment?
+
It disturbs less ground and leaves tree roots alone. Only water and vacuum touch the soil, so nothing toxic goes into the hole.
Do you work in winter?
+
Yes. Our trucks run heated water, so frozen ground is a normal winter job rather than a reason to wait for a thaw.
Why use Pro-Vac?
+
Every operator goes through the same training program, and with 225+ trucks across 22 locations there's usually a crew close to your site.
