Hydro Excavation Services in Virginia, North Carolina & Georgia
Hydro excavation is non-destructive digging. Pressurized water loosens the soil and a high-powered vacuum lifts it into the truck's debris tank. That lets our hydrovac trucks expose gas lines, water pipes, electrical systems and communication cables without the strike risk of mechanical digging. SMR Rapid Response offers hydro excavation in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia for utility, construction, energy, municipal and industrial facility projects.
Utility Locating & Potholing
Safely verify the depth and location of buried lines before you dig.
Trenching Near Live Lines
