FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is potholing?
Potholing exposes a small section of a buried utility so its exact location and depth can be verified before digging.
Why hydrovac instead of a backhoe?
Water and vacuum excavation greatly reduces the risk of damaging buried lines and keeps the hole tight.
Do you work with contractors?
Yes — contractors and municipalities are a big part of our hydrovac work. Call for a free quote.
