HydroVac Excavation Phoenix

What Is HydroVac Excavation?



HydroVac excavation—sometimes called hydro excavation, soft digging, or water excavation—uses pressurized water to loosen soil. A vacuum hose then removes the wet material and carries it into a debris tank. This process creates precise openings without damaging nearby pipes, cables, or structures. It is especially valuable in Phoenix, where older neighborhoods, mixed utility depths, and rocky soil make traditional digging risky.

With HydroVac excavation Phoenix, you get a controlled way to expose utilities, verify utility depth, open trenches, access problem areas, and work safely around gas lines, fiber lines, and electrical conduit.

Safe Utility Exposure and Daylighting



One of the main uses for Hydrovac is utility daylighting. Daylighting reveals the exact location of underground lines so they can be inspected before construction begins. This prevents mistakes, reduces utility strikes, and helps contractors understand what lies underground.

Our Hydrovac team exposes:

• Gas lines

• Water service lines

• Fiber optic cables

• Sewer pipes

• Electrical conduit

• Communication lines

• Irrigation supply lines

HydroVac is non-destructive and keeps utilities fully intact. In Phoenix, where many utility lines share narrow spaces, this method gives the accuracy needed for safe digging and planning.

Potholing for Plumbing, Electrical, Fiber, and Gas

HydroVac is also used for potholing. Potholing exposes a specific section of an underground line. This helps plumbers, electricians, fiber installers, and utility contractors verify depth, condition, and alignment before they start work.

Phoenix Pro Excavating provides potholing services Phoenix for:

• Plumbing repairs and replacements

• Electrical upgrades and new conduit

• Fiber line installations

• Sewer line access

• Storm drain inspections

• Commercial service tie-ins

Because HydroVac uses water, it reduces the chance of cutting or damaging the line during exposure.

CCTV Inspection and Line Verification



HydroVac excavation works well with CCTV pipe inspection Phoenix. Once we expose the line, camera inspections can verify blockages, breaks, and pipe condition. This is useful for plumbers, utility contractors, and commercial maintenance teams.

HydroVac helps verify:

• Sewer line condition

• Storm drain condition

• Fiber and conduit alignment

• Depth and grade of buried utilities

This approach gives you accurate information before repairs begin.

HydroVac for Septic and Grease Systems

HydroVac is also used to expose septic tanks, grease traps, risers, and leach fields without damaging surrounding soil or infrastructure. This method is common when preparing for:

• Septic repairs

• Grease trap maintenance

• Riser installations

• New septic connections

• ADEQ inspections

• System replacements

Because the process is clean and controlled, it avoids the risks that come with traditional excavation around fragile systems.
