Benefits Of Non Destructive Digging

The benefits of non destructive digging compared to traditional excavation methods go far beyond avoiding damage to underground services.
Non Destructive Digging 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 non destructive digging a much safer process.
Non Destructive Digging is time saving as it quickly and safely loosens soil, while at the same time removes soil via high flow vacuum excavation. Sick of waiting for a underground service locator to find the infrastructure, 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 non destructive digging 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 Non Destructive Digging service leaves minimal impact.
