Hydroexcavation Services

Commercial Hydro Excavation Services

Wind River Environmental also offers expert hydro excavation services – the safest most efficient way to remove and excavate soil. More accurate and non-destructive than hard-edge tools, our highly trained technicians utilize a combination of high-pressure water and an air vacuum to easily move or remove soil, uncover underground utilities or any underground infrastructure. 

The hydro excavation (hydro vac) process is particularly effective for pipe and sewer line rehabilitation or landscaping. Using this process minimizes the disturbance or damage to the surrounding area.

Applications for Commercial Properties

Hydro excavation is increasingly popular for commercial properties due to its precision, efficiency, and safety advantages. Here’s how it applies to commercial settings:

Utility Installation and Maintenance:

  • Precise Digging: Helps in locating and exposing underground utilities like gas lines, water mains, and electrical cables without causing damage.
  • Installation: Assists in installing new utilities or making repairs with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure.

Foundation Work:

  • Trenching: Useful for creating trenches for foundations, footings, or other structural elements. The precise excavation minimizes the risk of undermining existing structures.

Site Preparation:

  • Clearing: Effective for clearing and preparing sites for new construction, particularly in areas with complex underground utilities or sensitive landscapes.

Potholing:

  • Locating: Provides accurate potholing to confirm the depth and location of existing utilities before starting construction or renovation projects.

Landscaping and Drainage:

  • Excavation: Ideal for landscaping tasks, including digging holes for posts, utility poles, and street signs and the installation of drainage systems, without disturbing large areas.

Environmental Compliance:

  • Remediation: Helps in environmentally sensitive areas where contamination might be a concern, reducing the risk of spreading pollutants.

Benefits for Commercial Properties

  • Minimized Risk: Reduces the chance of accidental damage to utilities and surrounding infrastructure, which can be costly and disruptive.
  • Reduced Downtime: Faster and cleaner excavation means less interruption to business operations and lower risk of project delays.
  • Cost Efficiency: Although hydro excavation can have higher upfront costs compared to traditional methods, it often saves money in the long run by reducing the likelihood of damage and associated repairs.
  • Improved Safety: Enhanced safety for workers and the surrounding environment, especially in complex or congested urban areas.

Hear From Our Happy Customers

    Efficient
    “The technician was very helpful and gave me several ‘pointers’ about what we could do to help get the most out of our septic system.”
    - Stephen F.
    Great service
    John Gilles performed our septic pump on 10/10/25. After the pump was completed, he asked me to flush each toilet a few times to make sure things were looking good. He also gave me advice on how to tell the tank is full and to prevent issues, since we should have had it pumped sooner than we did. He did a great job putting the dirt back afterwards since he had to dig to get to the tank. He was funny too! Great service, would be glad to have him again. By the way, the new online ordering system is much better. I'm glad it pulls details in from past orders now so I no longer have to re-enter them manually. Much quicker, thank you for that improvement!

    Pride
    I spoke to the technician who pumped my tank Steve S and he was very personable and knowledgeable. My wife was watching Steve S cover hole that he dug up to pump my septic tank, and said that person really takes pride in his work because of the care he took to make it look natural again. I went out and told Steve my wifes comments because people seem to only hear the bad comments.
