Vacuum Excavation PA, NJ, NY, VA, MD and DE Vacuum Excavation is a quick, non-destructive and economical way to safely locate and expose buried utilities. High pressure air is used to break up the soil, which in turn is vacuumed up into tank. This method allows for very precise excavations without the risk of damaging buried utility lines, pipes or tree roots. 

Typical applications for vacuum excavation include:

• 
Our Vacuum Excavation TruckVerification of the type, condition, diameter and depth of buried utilities – especially useful for identifying and resolving potential conflicts prior to construction in the design phases.


• 
Eliminates the need for hand-digging, saving time and labor, and particularly useful for those utilities buried deep or in congested areas.

• 
Tarps are laid around the excavation and surface structures are carefully removed.
•
