What the ground is like in Piedmont

Piedmont sits in a mild Mediterranean climate, which sets the seasonal window for excavation here.

What is a combination (combo) truck?

Can a combo truck do hydrovac excavation?
Combo-rated units can. The same high-pressure water and vacuum systems used for sewer cleaning can pothole and daylight utilities. If excavation is the main task, a dedicated hydrovac truck is purpose-built for it.

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.
