Don't run the risk of the horrendous costs of accidently damaging underground utilities!
Hydrovac Services are your local experts in non-destructive vacuum excavation & underground service location. Based in the Burnett region & prepared to operate Australia wide, our experienced & accredited staff can help you to eliminate risk & save time. Our truck mounted hydrovac excavation units are fully self-contained & allow for precise & controlled digging to uncover buried utilities.
Hydrovac Excavation - What The Suck Is It?

Hydrovac excavation technology involves loosening soil with high pressured water jets and immediately removing the residue with powerful vacuum suction systems. This method of excavation is highly advantageous because the water is much less likely to damage underground structures and utilities than traditional sharp-edged and inherently risky technologies such as backhoes, excavators, mechanical tools and hand digging.
Advantages of Vacuum Excavation

Vacuum excavation is typically considered to be more cost effective than other methods of excavation. It can occur cleanly, safely & non-destructively in confined & restricted spaces. The prevalence of overlapping underground services has made cable location inherently risky but hydrovac technology permits location with virtually 100% accuracy. It allows exact size & shape digging for trenches, potholes & piers, & is ideal for excavations that are inaccessible by other machinery.
