Quick Facts

Vac and Hydro Excavation at a Glance

Vacuum and hydro excavation removes soil with pressurized water or air and a vacuum truck, which exposes buried utilities without the strike risk of mechanical digging. Municipalities, utilities, contractors and engineering firms use it for potholing, trenching and pole setting. Flotech Environmental provides vacuum and hydro excavation services across Florida from offices in Miami Springs, Brandon, Orlando and Hollywood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vac and Hydro Excavation FAQs

Here are some of the most common questions about our services, response times, and how we support infrastructure projects across Florida.

Flotech groups four services under this heading: vacuum excavation for controlled soil and debris removal, hydro digging with pressurized water around sensitive infrastructure, daylighting and utility potholing to verify buried lines before construction, and utility pole setting and trenching support. Each uses a vacuum truck in place of a backhoe or auger.

Specify it wherever buried utilities are present or their location is uncertain, such as congested rights of way, utility crossings and work beside existing water, sewer, gas, electric or fiber lines. Soft digging exposes the line without cutting into it, which lowers the chance of a strike and the outage that follows.

Vacuum excavation is the general term for loosening soil and removing it by suction. Hydro excavation is the version that loosens soil with pressurized water. Air can be used in its place when dry spoil is preferred. The right choice depends on soil type and how the spoil will be handled.

Soil and water are drawn into the debris tank on the vacuum truck, so spoil is not piled beside the hole. The material is then hauled away for disposal or, where conditions allow, used as backfill.

Yes. Flotech offers utility pole setting and trenching as a service within its excavation group, providing excavation support for pole installation, trenching and related work. Using vacuum equipment for these holes limits damage to nearby buried lines.
