Questions
Hydro Excavator in Elmore FAQ
Is a hydro excavator the same as a hydrovac truck?
They are closely related. "Hydro excavator" emphasizes the digging role of a vacuum excavation rig, while "hydrovac truck" names the vehicle. Both use pressurized water and a vacuum to dig safely around buried utilities.
When is a hydro excavator the right choice?

How much does a hydro excavator cost in Elmore, AL?
