Our hydro vacuum is a relatively straightforward process. It is a combination of high-pressured water along with an air vacuum. The pressurized water is strong enough to dig through the soil as the air vacuum sucks up the soil and debris into a vacuum truck. 

In general, we can dig through soil, clay, caliche, and sand. This is why hydro excavation is such an excellent choice in Southwest Texas and Southern New Mexico. Our dry desert environment is perfect for hydro excavation. 

Hydro excavation allows for much more freedom while providing the highest levels of safety and care. If our vacuum trucks can drive up to the vicinity of your construction project, then odds we’ll be able to provide you with our hydro excavation services. 

• Adhere to state requirements of safety: If you are working near active utility lines, it is a state requirement to maintain a specified safe distance from that line. Hydro excavation is the only way to proceed under these circumstances. We will excavate to easily expose any lines so you can see where the utility runs underground. The result is no broken lines and complete visibility.

• Less destructive and much safer: Hydro excavation is an efficient way to dig through soil and keep the worksite clean. It’s far less destructive than traditional digging methods and thus protects the property from damage. Traditional excavation methods require heavy machinery that is difficult to maneuver and operate, posing risks to workers, personnel, or nearby citizens in a range of construction mishaps. Hydro excavation, on the other hand, is non-mechanic and much less destructive.

• Eco-friendly: Hydro excavation uses the ultimate combination of pressurized water and powerful suction vacuums. This means there are no chemicals or other disruptive means that create waste on the earth. This clean, effective method significantly reduces the risk of damage to buried utilities, cables, and pipes.
