Firth sits in a continental climate with cold winters, which sets the seasonal window for excavation here.

Questions
Hydro Excavator in Firth 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?
When you need controlled, precise excavation in congested or critical areas, such as exposing transmission lines, trenching among dense utilities, or deep potholing where a mechanical excavator would be too risky.
