HYDRO-EXCAVATION

Hydro Excavation is a process that utilizes pressurized water to break up and remove the soil via air conveyance (vacuum) into a debris tank, providing a non-destructive means to safely locate utilities and precisely excavate an area.


Hydro Vacuum Excavation has the ability to move large volumes of material quickly, and is typically used for large or excessively deep (+20') excavations and long trenches. Trust Pro-Vac (formerly Kantex) to get the job done right, every time.
