Safe, Precise & Non-Destructive Digging
Boomer Environmental provides professional hydro excavation services–a modern, non-destructive method of digging that uses a specialized truck equipped with high-pressure water (3,500 PSI and 5 gallons per minute) and a powerful vacuum system. Instead of relying on heavy equipment like backhoes and skid-steers, this process safely loosens soil and vacuums away the loosened material—making it one of the safest and most accurate ways to dig.
Hydro excavation protects underground utilities, infrastructure, and objects by minimizing the risk of hitting gas lines, power cables, or water mains. It’s also highly efficient, typically requiring just two trained technicians to complete a job. Whether you need a defined excavation area, underground demolition support, or targeted soil removal, our team delivers results with minimal disruption.
Why Choose Hydro Excavation?
Our hydro excavation service is ideal for projects in tight or urban areas where traditional digging isn’t possible. Because this method does not require dump trucks or trench entry, it can be performed quickly, safely, and with little impact to the surrounding environment. Common applications include traditional excavation projects and facility demolition, where underground areas must be cleared.
Boomer Environmental offers 24/7 emergency service when unexpected situations arise. If you need fast, reliable soil removal or urgent underground access, our team and specialized trucks are available around the clock.
Hydro excavation is trusted for its safety, efficiency, and precision. While traditional methods may be more cost-effective upfront, they carry higher risks of costly delays and underground damage. With Boomer Environmental, you can count on experienced technicians, state-of-the-art equipment, and a commitment to safe, effective excavation—day or night.

Industries & Applications for Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation is trusted across a wide range of industries that demand precision and safety. Common applications include:
- Utility Installation & Maintenance – Safely expose underground gas, water, and electrical lines.
- Industrial Facilities – Support plant expansions, equipment installation, or demolition where digging below ground is required.
- Construction Sites – Excavate in congested areas without risk of damaging nearby or unrelated infrastructure.
- Municipal Projects – Dig around sensitive underground assets in urban environments.
Whether you’re managing a new build, a facility upgrade, an ongoing emergency, or routine utility maintenance, hydro excavation provides the accuracy and safety you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Hydro excavation is often faster for smaller, targeted projects because it requires minimal setup and fewer crew members. For large-scale excavation, traditional equipment like backhoes may move more earth at once, but hydro excavation excels when precision and safety are the priority.
-
Yes. Hydro excavation trucks can be outfitted with heated water systems, allowing excavation to continue even in frozen soil. This makes it a reliable option during colder months when traditional digging equipment struggles to break through frozen ground.
-
Industries such as manufacturing, public utilities, construction, oil and gas, telecommunications, and municipalities rely heavily on hydro excavation. Its ability to uncover underground infrastructure without damage makes it especially valuable for projects involving power lines, pipelines, or fiber optics.
-
All slurry—water mixed with soil—is stored in the hydrovac truck’s holding tank. Depending on the site setup, the material can be transported off-site for proper disposal or handled with on-site solutions such as evaporators or designated containment areas.
-
Emergency services are crucial when unexpected underground access is required such as a burst utility line, water main break, or urgent repair that requires safe digging near sensitive infrastructure. Boomer Environmental’s crews are on standby to respond immediately and minimize downtime.
