Questions
Air Vacuum Truck in New Albany FAQ
What is an air vacuum truck?
An air vacuum truck excavates using compressed air instead of water, then vacuums up the dry spoil. Because the soil stays dry it can often be reused as backfill, and there is no slurry to dispose of, a major advantage in winter and around fiber lines.
Air excavation vs. hydro excavation: which is better?
Air excavation keeps spoil dry and reusable and excels in freezing conditions and around sensitive utilities. Hydro excavation usually cuts faster in hard or compacted soil. The right choice depends on soil, season, and utility type.
How much does an air vacuum truck cost in New Albany, OH?
Vacuum truck work is typically billed by the hour, and the rate varies with soil, site access, water and disposal needs, and how far the service provider travels. Around New Albany, clay, loam and sandy loam ground influences how quickly the work goes and therefore the total. Service providers price your specific New Albany job rather than a flat rate.
