How the ground digs around Markham
Ontario winters bring frost to roughly 48" of depth around Markham, so cold-weather digs here often favor air excavation or heated-water hydrovac to work frozen ground. Markham sits in a humid continental climate with real winters, which sets the seasonal window for excavation here. Ground around Markham runs to clay and loam, which shapes how quickly water- or air-based excavation cuts and how the spoil is handled. Crews that work York County know how this ground behaves, which is why a local quote beats a generic rate for any Markham dig.

Questions
Combination (Combo) Truck in Markham FAQ
What is a combination (combo) truck?
A combo truck combines a high-pressure water jetter and a vacuum on one chassis. It cleans sewers, storm lines, and catch basins by jetting the debris loose and vacuuming it up in the same visit. Many combo units can also perform hydro excavation.
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.
How much does a combination (combo) truck cost in Markham, ON?
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.
