Hydro excavation services for contractors and utilities

Our hydrovac trucks use pressurized water and vacuum to remove soil. Therefore, operators expose buried lines by sight instead of by feel. This is non-destructive excavation.

We couldn’t think of a better endorsement than that.

Why contractors call Hydro X USA

First, we answer the phone and show up when we say we will. Next, our operators understand how a jobsite runs. They work beside your crew, not around it.

In addition, we solve unusual problems. For example, our hose reaches several hundred feet from the truck. Our trucks dig holes as small as 4 inches wide and up to 40 feet deep.

Our team brings over 35 years of industry experience. Hydro X USA has excavated for many types of contractors across New York State.
