Exposing Utilities with Hydro Excavation
Exposing Utilities
Hydro Excavation is the safest
and most efficient way to expose
underground utilities. Because hydro
excavation uses water to break up
the content being removed and vacuums to
pick up the debris, there is no risk of
damaging buried utilities. Utilities can
easily be exposed with hydro excavation
(which is called "potholing" or "daylighting")
without disturbing the surrounding
material, and even when the ground is
frozen!
