Benefits Of Hydro Excavation

The benefits of Hydro Excavation compared to traditional excavation methods go far beyond avoiding damage to underground services.

Hydro Excavation is a very delicate process that uses water to remove dirt. This greatly aids in not damaging underground power lines and other expensive infrastructure, making Hydro Excavation a much safer process.

Hydro Excavation is time saving as it quickly and safely loosens soil, while at the same time removes soil via high flow vacuum excavation. No waiting for locating underground services, then waiting on another traditional digging service - Gold Coast Vac Trucks do it all in one visit.

And time saving also means cost savings, particularly if you are dealing with an expensive water leak - our clients love our more cost effective solution.

The lack of heavy machinery and the precision of hydro jets mean Hydro Excavation is a much tidier process. Our jet and vacuum hoses run 30 metres, meaning our vac truck often does not need to enter your property. No track marks, no wrecked lawns, and no unnecessary large holes - our Hydro Excavation service leaves minimal impact.
