Questions
Hydro Excavator in Vernon 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.

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.
