HYDROVAC
About our hydrovac services
At H. Richardson & Sons, we understand that digging near existing underground infrastructure requires care, precision, and the right equipment. Our hydrovac services use pressurized water and powerful vacuum technology to safely excavate soil without damaging buried utilities, cables, or pipelines. This non-destructive approach reduces the risk of costly strikes, service interruptions, and safety hazards common with traditional mechanical digging. From exposing existing lines to preparing precise excavations for new installations, our experienced crews deliver clean, controlled results that protect critical infrastructure and keep projects moving safely and efficiently.
UTILITY LOCATING & POTHOLING
Before any major excavation begins, our crews safely expose buried lines to verify their exact location and depth. This non-destructive process eliminates guesswork, prevents accidental strikes, and gives project teams the confidence to proceed safely and on schedule.
PRECISION EXCAVATION
From pole holes and trenching to slot cuts in congested areas, our hydrovac equipment removes soil with accuracy and minimal disruption. The result is a clean, controlled excavation that protects surrounding infrastructure, landscapes, and work sites.
