Our Hydro Excavation Services
At Superior Hydrovac, our hydro excavation experts operate a fleet of dependable hydrovac trucks that can handle a tremendous variety of tasks. Some of the most common services we provide include but are not limited to:
Hydro excavation is a safe and accurate technique for pinpointing the exact locations of underground utilities. Our services are often sought by engineers and others for subsurface projects, enabling them to design effective infrastructure with confidence.
Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water to break up soil, allowing for precise and non-destructive trenching that minimizes disruption. This method is preferred for projects where protecting surrounding utilities is critical. Once the trench work is completed, we can backfill the area to bring the site back to its original state.
Slot trenching creates narrow, exploratory trenches to identify utilities or obstructions. It is often used to lay conduits, pipes, or cables. Compared to other methods, slot trenching minimizes equipment usage, reduces costs, and prevents damage to existing underground utilities.
Vacuum excavation is an effective solution for large-scale removal of mud, slurry, and other types of debris. During directional drilling, mud and debris are brought to the surface, creating a bore pit that needs to be managed to prevent environmental contamination. Our hydro vac trucks can clean these bore pits, transport the debris, and offload it to designated disposal areas.
Our environmental remediation services clean up and restore areas affected by spills and contamination. We use pressurized water and a vacuum to remove pollutants like oil, chemicals, and various types of industrial waste. This method can effectively remove a wide range of contaminants, including natural gas, petroleum, fly ash, and contaminated water to mitigate environmental impacts and return the land to its normal condition.
Potholing is the process of creating small, minimally invasive holes to identify underground structures or hazards. This technique is commonly used for locating utilities and verifying clearances before installing structures like traffic signals, signs, and poles. Our hydrovac equipment makes potholing non-destructive and safe, minimizing risks during installation projects.
Our hydro excavation trucks can clean rail cars for load transfer or reclassification. When needed, our team can pressure wash or steam clean rail cars to prepare them for reclassification. We can also vacuum out the contents of a defective rail car and transfer them to another one when the original car is damaged or decommissioned.
Utility poles are often placed in populated areas, which are crowded with underground infrastructure. Using vacuum hydrovac is faster, less disruptive, and more cost-effective than hydraulic auger machines or manual digging. This method also reduces the risk of damaging fiber optics, gas pipelines, and live electric cables significantly.
Dealing with an eyesore? We can effectively power wash and remove graffiti from various surfaces, such as walls, buildings, and structures. Our process is designed to carefully restore surfaces to their original state without causing any damage.

Benefits of Hydro Excavation
Hydro Excavation is preferred over traditional excavation methods for a number of reasons:
Less Expensive
Hydro excavation is less expensive because it uses precise methods that minimize damage to utilities, pipes, and the surrounding environment, reducing the need for repairs and backfilling. The process is faster and requires a smaller workforce and fewer materials, which lowers costs even further.
Greater Accuracy
Traditional excavation methods use heavy machinery to clear pathways in the earth, either by manual digging or backhoes. This approach is rarely precise and usually creates a bigger mess. Hydro excavation offers greater accuracy than traditional methods by using pressurized water and suction to precisely remove soil, minimizing mess and disruption. This method is especially effective in confined spaces and indoors, providing precise and efficient excavation results.
Enhanced Safety
Traditional excavation tools like backhoes, pressure diggers, and shovels pose significant safety risks to workers, even for experienced operators. Because hydro excavation only uses water and an air vacuum, it is much safer due to its non-mechanical, non-destructive approach. The equipment can be positioned away from the excavation site, minimizing traffic and congestion.
Improved Efficiency
Manual digging is a long, arduous process. With hydro excavation, dirt is removed from the earth more quickly than with traditional methods, and then vacuumed into the tank automatically, so it can be removed from the area much quicker.
Easier Waste Removal
One of the biggest problems with traditional excavation methods is the removal of dirt that is taken from the earth. Extensive projects invariably end up covering roads with large piles of material that blocks traffic and hinders the project. With hydro excavation, all of the material that is collected from the digging process is taken out with a large vacuum and pulled directly into a storage tank to be disposed of later.
Avoids Utility Lines
Traditional excavation methods risk hitting underground pipes and sewer lines, which can lead to dangerous situations and costly, time-consuming repairs. Hydro excavation offers greater accuracy, allowing crews to avoid underground utilities more effectively.
Better for the Environment
Thanks to its less invasive nature, hydro excavation is less harmful to the environment than other methods. Because the process makes precisely targeted impacts on very specific areas, there is less risk of damaging the surrounding land and ecosystem. It avoids using chemicals or hazardous materials, which prevents the contamination of soil, plants, and underground assets.
