How We Dig Safely, Step by Step

Every Beach HydroVac job follows the same non-destructive process, whether it’s a single pothole or a full utility corridor.

  1. Beach HydroVac hydrovac truck door with company logo and USDOT number1

    Plan & confirm marks

    We confirm the VA811 (Miss Utility) ticket and review the marks before any digging starts.

  2. Beach HydroVac operator performing vacuum excavation potholing2

    Loosen soil with water

    Pressurized water cuts through soil without striking pipes, cables or fiber the way a backhoe can.

  3. Beach HydroVac crew potholing to expose underground utilities with a hydrovac truck3

    Vacuum & contain

    A high-powered vacuum pulls the slurry into the truck’s debris tank, leaving a clean, precise hole.

  4. Hydro excavation pothole for utility verification with vacuum hose4

    Verify & close out

    Utilities are exposed for visual verification (SUE Level A when required), then backfilled or hauled off per your project.
