Hydro Excavation

Precision excavation. Zero damage. Maximum control.

Extreme Coatings provides advanced hydro excavation using high-pressure water and industrial vacuum systems to safely expose and remove soil with unmatched precision. This non-destructive method efficiently removes both small and large volumes of material while protecting surrounding infrastructure and minimizing environmental impact.

Hydro excavation is the preferred solution for sensitive, high-risk areas — including around foundations, utility lines, gas lines, and other locations where traditional excavation poses a risk. Combining precision technology with experienced operators, we deliver safer, cleaner, more controlled excavation — reducing damage, minimizing downtime, and keeping projects moving.

Why a vacuum truck

Benefits of using a vacuum truck

Precision excavation minimizes ground disturbance and reduces backfill — delivering cleaner, more efficient results. From trenching and debris removal to potholing and daylighting, we keep your project on schedule and on budget.

  • Reduced handling of materials
  • Wet and dry filtration methods
  • More suction power and a larger debris tank
  • Precise vacuum excavation minimizes environmental disturbance and reduces the need for backfill
  • Hydro or air vacuum excavation safely exposes utilities and buried structures
  • Quickly removes debris from areas traditional equipment cannot reach or dig safely
  • A non-mechanical, economical alternative to costly hand excavation in sensitive areas
  • Locate and expose gas, power, fiber, and other utility lines

FAQ

Questions about vacuum truck & hydro excavation

What is hydro excavation and why is it safer?

Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water and an industrial vacuum to break up and remove soil without striking buried utilities, making it a non-destructive alternative to mechanical digging. Extreme Coatings uses it to safely expose and protect gas, power, fiber, and other lines around foundations and sensitive infrastructure, reducing damage and downtime.

What can a vacuum truck be used for?

Extreme Coatings’ vacuum truck handles hydro excavation, potholing, perimeter trenching, pipe tie-ins, keyhole pipelines, tank and sludge removal, insulation removal, lift stations, environmental cleanup, emergency spills, and soil-contamination removal. It removes both wet and dry materials from confined and hard-to-reach areas.

What kind of vacuum truck does Extreme Coatings use?

Extreme Coatings operates a custom GapVax vacuum truck engineered for greater capacity, increased suction power, and enhanced versatility. It efficiently removes wet and dry materials from confined, remote, and hard-to-reach areas, and supports both hydro and air vacuum excavation.
