What is Vacuum Excavation?
Vacuum Excavation is a non-mechanical, non-destructive digging method that is a safe way of exposing buried utilities such as wires, pipes and structures. The proven vacuum excavation process that we utilize involves using high-pressure air to perform the initial breakup of the topsoil. This loosens the soil and allows us to start removing the top layers of the soil with the vacuum as the air pressure continues to loosen the deeper layers of soil.
We can then begin to check the status of the hole and begin to identify underlying utilities, pipes, structures, etc. Excavated soil is returned to the excavator storage tanks, so no mess is created and minimal disruption occurs, making it a breeze to fill in the hole once the job is done.
Vacuum excavation services are different from other digging processes as it is one of the safest and least invasive methods, which is why the method is sometimes referred to as soft digging services. Vacuum excavation allows us to quickly and efficiently remove large amounts of dirt with minimal risk to buried items.
Benefits of Vacuum Excavation Services:

Additional Tools:

- Pneumatic/waterless trenching is also used to loosen up materials around underground utilities with no waste. This technology is built into all of our vacuum excavation units and allows us to change methods in seconds. We are able to perform Pneumatic excavation with the same truck, reducing downtime and cost to our clients.
