HYDRO-VACUUM

Meter boxes are generally slightly lower than ground level and are also typically at lower spots in your yard, so all run-off makes it into the meter box. It is our procedure to clean out the meter boxes so that the meter register is free from dirt and debris and easily read.

If debris or soil builds up in the box, it can make it impossible to operate the valve properly. The valve may not shut completely because of debris lodged in the works, or you may not be able to get a solid connection with the operating key.

  While it may take longer, the vacuum excavation process is safer and more precise than using the tough, metal bucket of a backhoe. Anyone who needs to dig precise holes can benefit from using vacuum excavation from utility crews to landscapers to construction companies.

The precision of this method is especially useful in residential areas.

  Utility potholing is also sometimes called utility daylighting, hydro-excavation, or air-excavation. The technique involves digging a series of non-intrusive, non-destructive test holes to garner as much information as possible about the layout of various utilities on or around a property.

 The purpose of slot trenching is to dig narrow trenches. This is commonly needed for installing pipes, cables, signs, posts and other utilities underground. Since only narrow trenches are needed, hydro excavation provides a better option because of its accuracy and precision.
