The perks of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum Excavation and Its Perks – Safe, Efficient & Non-Destructive Digging with Get Vacced
Introduction
Vacuum excavation is the digging of the earth using a specialized vacuum that applies high-pressure water or air to safely break apart materials. Commonly referred to as “Soft Dig”, this method has become the industry standard for safe, efficient, and precise excavation. Unlike manual digging, vacuum excavation significantly reduces the risk of accidental line strikes, trench cave-ins, and costly underground utility damage.
With both hydro and air vacuum excavation available, businesses gain access to a safer, cleaner, and more effective solution for their excavation needs.
Safe Digging With Hydro Vacuum Excavation
Hydro vacuum excavation from Get Vacced uses high-pressure water combined with powerful vacuum suction to uncover underground utilities safely. This technique is:
Faster and more efficient than air excavation.
Prevents reuse of spoiled material, ensuring site safety.
Capable of handling frozen ground by thawing with hot water first.
Ideal for sewer, pipeline, and plumbing applications.
Additional applications include:
Pipe and fitting replacement
Exploratory excavations
New pipeline installations
Gravel and leaf removal
Advantages of Hydro Vacuum Excavation
Less invasive than traditional excavation methods
High precision, reducing waste and restoration work
Minimal manpower required, cutting costs and labor risks
Cleaner worksites with debris stored safely in a tank
Protects underground assets such as pipelines and sewers
Air Vacuum Excavation
Air vacuum excavation uses compressed air to break the soil before suctioning debris into a tank. While effective, it is less efficient compared to hydro excavation. However, it allows reuse of dry backfill material in certain applications.
