In-house hydro-excavation refers to a company using its own trained employees and equipment to perform hydro-excavation services instead of hiring an external company. This method uses high-pressure water to break up soil and a powerful vacuum to remove it, which is a safer, more precise, and less destructive alternative to traditional digging methods, especially around underground utilities.

How It Works

  • A powerful stream of pressurized water is directed at the soil, breaking it up into a slurry.
  • A strong vacuum system immediately removes the liquefied soil and debris, leaving a clean, precise excavation site. 

Why a Company Might Choose In-House Hydro-Excavation

  • Greater Control: Having an in-house team allows for more control over the project schedule and execution.
  • Potential Cost Savings: While training and equipment are expensive, the long-term operational costs might be lower than consistently outsourcing the work.
  • Direct Responsibility: The company is directly responsible for the work and any liability, ensuring it is performed to their standards.
  • Specialized Needs: A company with specific or frequent hydro-excavation needs may find it more efficient to have the capability in-house.
