Hydro Excavation or Air Excavation…

There are 3 processes that can be used for daylighting, trenching or digging a hole for a pile or post. Contractors can either use a backhoe service, a hydrovac service or an air excavation service. Using hydrovac equipment to expose underground assets is generally assumed to be the best and most environmentally friendly method. Contractors would consider air excavation if the contractor wants the excavated soil and sediment to remain dry which may be better for back filling.
Air excavation will take longer than hydro excavation, and will only be used when the soil around the project is the right consistency and is not frozen. Hydrovacing is much more flexible and can be used in a variety of weather conditions and applications.

Smart Plumbing and Landscape Contractors Choose Hydro Excavation

It’s no surprise that contractors choose a hydro excavation partner rather than a backhoe service to expose underground assets. Hydrovac excavation is more efficient and faster than mechanical removal of soil for septic tanks, sewer lines, trenches, and poles for other utilities.  It’s becoming standard procedure when you need fast, accurate  and safe excavation done in a hurry.

Here’s how it works:
Hydro excavation is also called potholing or daylighting. The procedure involves blasting the soil to be removed with a high-pressure water jet, breaking it up and mixing it with the liquid. The resulting slurry is removed quickly by vacuum, and contained in the truck for appropriate disposal.

Unlike conventional digging, there’s no danger of destroying an existing service line.  Landscapers and plumbing contractors prefer this technology because it’s very targeted,  allowing you to pinpoint the location of your excavation with minimal damage to adjacent property. Hydro excavation is ideal for stump removal, drilling of postholes, and installation of landscaping features like ponds and man-made streams.

Because hydro excavation is relatively “hands off”, it is safer for the workers involved in your project, and it can be used year-round, using hot water when the earth is frozen in winter.

Daylighting – Flexible, Safer and More Cost Effective

Daylighting is a term that is used to expose underground assets (pipes, cables, etc.) using hydrovac equipment. 

EdenFlo’s Hydrovac Excavators combine pressure, water, and air to break up the earth and debris. Then the excavator vacuums up this mixture and exposes the assets to “daylight”.

EdenFlo’s team is the best in the business. They are extremely skilled in locating, excavating and exposing what needs to be exposed. Hydro excavation equipment allows flexibility in accessing the work site as the equipment can be positioned further away than using mechanized shovels.  Because hydro excavation gradually exposes the hidden underground assets, the chance of damage is minimized compared to using a backhoe. 

Many of our contractor customers appreciate that EdenFlo Vacuum Pump Truck Service has a variety of equipment to service your daylighting requirements.  Whether you are tasked with pipe inspection, catch basin or industrial drain cleaning, or need to find a leak, we have the tools to do the job right.

EdenFlo’s Hydrovac Equipment Great at Daylighting, and Also Trenching.

EdenFlo’s  hydrovacing fleet is great for catch basin / drain cleaning, daylighting and pole digging.  Many contractors are not aware that  hydrovacs are the best option for precise digging. Contractors and trenching companies will often turn to excavation equipment like a backhoe to trench for pipes, cables and other underground assets. Backhoe’s have the potential to damage delicate underground assets, while hydrovacing is a safer (and often faster) option.
Often these utilities are smaller and don’t require extensive trenching. If you need to lay pipe or cable, give  the experts at EdenFlo vacuum pump truck service a call and they will have the best equipment for your trenching job.
