There’s a better way to get to what lies beneath. At GroundBreakers, our hydrovac teams are all about precision with the kind of tech that makes shovels and backhoes look medieval.
Unlike traditional digging methods, hydrovac excavation doesn’t rely on brute force. Our heroes of hydrovac use pressurized water to loosen the soil and powerful vacuums to suck up the dirt, mud and water. This precision power hydrovac is the safe way to pinpoint exactly where you need to dig that protects utility lines while allowing the team to work quickly.
Plus, traditional digging methods can be hit or miss. Our teams have the tools and the talent to expose underground utilities while avoiding the mistakes that can shut down a job site, create costly repairs or dangerous accidents.
Hydrovac is the safest way to dig, and we hire seasoned Operators so experience and safety go hand-in-hand. That vacuum isn’t messing around, and we leave your site cleaner than any traditional method, with an unmatched focus on customer service every step of the way. Our experienced team of Operators and Laborers have seen and done it all – bringing expertise to your site.
We are the trusted one-stop shop across a variety of industries: construction, utility, oil and gas, telecom, environmental and municipal sectors. Whether you’re managing a construction site, laying pipe, repairing roads, removing mud, or performing routine maintenance, GroundBreakers has you covered.
When space is limited and accuracy is crucial, hydrovac is a no-brainer. Traditional excavation methods uproot everything in their path, but our skilled teams take a surgical approach, only disturbing what’s absolutely necessary and leaving surrounding soil, plants, and infrastructure undisturbed. Since we harness the power of water and vacuums (hydrovac, remember), damage to utilities on your job site are not an issue.
Perhaps the biggest perk of working with Groundbreakers is our focus on an honest job done right. And that goes for our pricing approach as well. Our costs are all-inclusive – we don’t nickel and dime you or any customer with fuel surcharges or other blindside charges.
Whether you’re looking to avoid costly utility damages, cut down on excavation time, or keeping your jobsite compact, GroundBreakers hydrovac teams are the answer to your project prayers.
