Vacuum Excavation Services
Expose Underground Utilities Safely - Without Risk or Damage
When accuracy and safety matter most, vacuum excavation is the preferred method for exposing underground utilities without damage. Unlike traditional digging, this process uses air or water pressure to loosen soil, which is then vacuumed into a debris tank allowing technicians to safely locate, uncover, and inspect buried assets without harming existing infrastructure.
At Blood Hound, we deliver professional vacuum excavation services backed by decades of field expertise. Our trained operators and certified vacuum excavation contractors use advanced hydrovac and air excavation technologies to provide clean, efficient, and environmentally responsible excavation for every project.

Our Vacuum Excavation Solutions - Safe, Precise, and Non-Destructive
Hydro Excavation
Our hydro excavation process uses high-pressure water to excavate soil with precision and care. This controlled approach allows us to safely uncover utilities, pipelines, or conduits without damaging them. The loosened soil and water mixture is then vacuumed into a sealed tank for clean removal ideal for utility locating, trenching, and site preparation in sensitive or congested areas.
Air Excavation
When a dry, debris-free excavation is required, Blood Hound’s air excavation method is the solution. Using compressed air, we dislodge soil without introducing water, creating a clean excavation cavity that keeps the utility site dry and intact. This method is particularly useful for testing, inspections, or when soil needs to be backfilled after investigation.
Utility Locating and Mapping
Vacuum excavation provides a safe and effective way to visually verify and locate underground utilities, supporting accurate mapping and engineering documentation. Whether you’re confirming public lines or private infrastructure, Blood Hound ensures you have complete confidence in what’s beneath your job site.
Benefits of Choosing Blood Hound for Vacuum Excavation
Our vacuum excavation services drastically reduce the risk of striking buried cables, gas lines, and water mains protecting your crew, the environment, and nearby infrastructure. This non-destructive process is the safest way to expose utilities for maintenance, installation, or verification.
Vacuum excavation is faster, cleaner, and more precise than mechanical digging. Our vacuum excavation contractors minimize disruption, complete work efficiently, and keep projects moving on schedule, even in tight or urban spaces.
Unlike traditional excavation, vacuum excavation minimizes soil disturbance and erosion. It’s an eco-friendly solution that preserves the integrity of existing utilities, vegetation, and surrounding ecosystems.

FAQs
What is vacuum excavation?
Vacuum excavation uses air or water pressure to loosen soil, which is then vacuumed away. This non-destructive method allows technicians to locate and expose utilities safely without mechanical digging.
How much does it cost to hire a vacuum excavator?
Costs vary depending on project size, soil conditions, and access. Our team provides customized quotes based on your specific needs and location.
What is the vacuum excavation technique?
The technique involves breaking up soil with high-pressure air or water, then using a strong vacuum to remove it. This exposes buried utilities or pipelines without physical contact.
How deep can you vacuum excavate?
Depths typically range from 15 to 30 feet, depending on soil composition, moisture, and the required access area.
When should vacuum excavation be used?
It’s ideal for utility locating, daylighting, trenching, and exposing assets in areas where traditional digging poses risk or where precision is critical.
What are the advantages of vacuum excavation over mechanical digging?
It reduces the risk of damaging underground utilities, minimizes surface disruption, and allows for faster cleanup and backfilling.
Are there any disadvantages to vacuum excavation?
Vacuum excavation may be slower in compacted soils and requires specialized trucks, but its safety and precision far outweigh the drawbacks for most projects.
