Vacuum Excavation

Vacuum excavation is a process that uses a vacuum to excavate soil and other materials from an area. This process is often used in construction and other industries where the soil needs to be removed from a site quickly and efficiently. Vacuum excavation is a safe and effective way to remove soil without damaging the surrounding area.

The vacuum excavation process begins with placing a vacuum hose in the area to be excavated. The hose is connected to a vacuum pump, which creates a vacuum within the hose. This vacuum pulls the soil and other materials into the hose, which is then collected in a container.

Vacuum Excavations: Techniques & Tools

Vacuum excavation processes can be implemented with the following techniques and tools:

Hydro excavation

Hydro excavation is a safe and efficient way to excavate around buried utilities without the risk of damaging them. It is also less disruptive to the surrounding area and can be used in tight spaces.

Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water to break up the soil and a vacuum system to remove the debris. Hydro excavation is often referred to as vacuum excavation or hydro vacuum excavation.

Hydro vacuum excavation

Hydro vacuum excavation, also known as non-destructive digging, is a safe and efficient method of excavating underground utilities. It uses the same high-pressure water method as hydro excavation to remove debris and soil around the utility.

Drain cleaning

Excavation drain cleaning is a process of clearing out the drains from basements and other structures and removing any blockages. This is usually done with a high-powered water jet that can break through the debris and clear the way for water to flow freely again.

If you're worried about your basement flooding, make sure to call a drain cleaning company. The sooner you fix the problem, the less damage you'll have to deal with.

Vacuum truck

A vacuum truck is a truck used to suck up liquids or solids from a designated area and store them in a tank on the truck. The tank is usually made of steel or aluminium and has a pump and a hose connected to a suction inlet on the side or rear of the truck. The pump creates a vacuum inside the tank, which pulls the liquid or solid into the tank through the hose.
