Hydrovac Truck in Carmel Valley Village FAQ
What is a hydrovac truck used for?
Hydrovac trucks safely expose and excavate around buried utilities using pressurized water and a vacuum, instead of a mechanical bucket that could strike a gas, power, or fiber line. Common jobs are potholing, daylighting, slot trenching, and deep excavation near live lines.
Is hydrovac excavation safe around gas and power lines?
Yes. Because the cut is made with water and the spoil is removed by suction, no metal tool contacts the utility. This is why hydrovac (a form of non-destructive excavation) is the accepted method for digging near marked underground infrastructure.
