Questions
Hydro Excavator in Shanor-Northvue 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.

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.
