Sewer Line Cleaning
Hydrovac sewer line cleaning involves using pressurized water and a vacuum to remove debris and blockages from sewer lines. This method is effective in clearing obstructions without causing damage to the pipes. It’s often used for precise and non-destructive excavation. If considering hydrovac sewer line cleaning, it’s best to consult with a professional plumbing service to assess your specific needs.
Storm Line Cleaning
Hydrovac storm line cleaning utilizes pressurized water and a vacuum to clear debris and blockages from stormwater drainage systems. This method is effective for maintaining storm lines, preventing flooding, and ensuring proper water flow. If you’re considering hydrovac storm line cleaning, it’s recommended to consult with a professional service to assess and address your specific stormwater system needs.
Potholing / Daylighting
“Potholing” in the context of construction refers to the process of digging small, exploratory holes to locate and expose underground utilities or structures. It helps ensure accurate identification and mapping without causing extensive damage.
As for “daylighting,” In construction, daylighting involves exposing underground utilities by digging and removing soil to create a visual confirmation of their location. It’s often done through methods like hydro excavation.
Slot Trenching
Slot trenching is a method of excavation that involves digging a narrow, elongated trench. This type of trench is typically used for installing utilities, such as pipes or cables, in a precise and controlled manner. Slot trenching minimizes disruption to the surrounding area and is often employed in construction and infrastructure projects where space or accuracy is crucial.
Splice Pits / Bell Holes
These are excavated pits used for splicing or connecting utility lines, such as cables or pipes. Splice pits provide access to perform maintenance, repairs, or modifications to the utilities. They are often designed to accommodate the necessary equipment and personnel for splicing operations.
Bell holes are small, bell-shaped excavations made to expose specific points along a utility line. These holes allow workers to inspect, repair, or connect to the utility without the need for extensive excavation. Bell holes are a targeted and less invasive way to access specific sections of underground utilities.
Pole Holes
“Pole holes” refer to excavations made to install utility poles. These holes are dug into the ground to provide a secure foundation for supporting utility poles, such as those used for electrical power lines, telecommunications, or street lighting. The size and depth of pole holes depend on factors like the type of pole, soil conditions, and engineering requirements to ensure stability and safety.
Bore Mud Support
This typically refers to the use of drilling mud in horizontal directional drilling (HDD). The drilling mud is circulated during the drilling process to stabilize the borehole, provide lubrication, and carry away cuttings. It’s crucial for supporting the integrity of the drilled path, especially in challenging soil conditions.
Foundation Holes
Hydrovac is often used for digging foundation holes due to its precision and non-destructive excavation method. When preparing for construction, hydro excavation can precisely remove soil around the foundation area, exposing utilities and creating the required space without risking damage to existing structures or utilities. This method is especially beneficial in urban or confined spaces where accuracy and minimal disruption are essential for successful foundation work.
Remote Services
Hydrovac remote services typically involve the use of hydro excavation technology operated remotely. This can include the control and operation of hydrovac equipment, such as excavation trucks, through remote systems. Remote services in hydro excavation can enhance efficiency, safety, and precision by allowing operators to manage the equipment from a distance, reducing the need for physical presence on-site. This approach is particularly useful in situations where access is challenging or in environments that require minimal disruption.

Main Line Camera Truck
A main line camera truck is a specialized vehicle equipped with advanced video inspection technology designed to inspect and diagnose issues in large sewer and drainage lines, typically municipal or main pipelines. It’s often used by utility companies, contractors, or municipalities to maintain and repair underground infrastructure.
