At Wagner Energy Services LLC, we specialize in Hydrovac Excavation, an advanced, non-destructive digging method that uses high-pressure water and an industrial-strength vacuum to excavate soil quickly and safely. Whether you need to expose underground utilities or dig in sensitive areas, hydrovac services offer a cleaner, safer, and more accurate alternative to traditional excavation.

Our fleet of state-of-the-art hydrovac trucks and skilled operators are available across the region to support industrial, municipal, energy, and construction projects.

Types of Projects That Use Hydrovac Excavation Vacuum Services

Hydrovac excavation is a powerful, non-destructive digging method that provides safe and efficient results across a wide range of industries and project types. Here are some of the most common and beneficial uses for hydrovac services:

Utility Locating & Daylighting

Expose buried utilities such as gas lines, water pipes, electrical cables, and fiber optics without damaging the infrastructure. Perfect for utility mapping and verification before digging.

Trenching for Electrical, Gas, or Communication Lines

Hydrovac is ideal for creating narrow, precise trenches to install new underground utility lines or repair existing ones, even in congested or sensitive areas.

Excavation in Frozen Ground

Thanks to heated water systems, hydrovac trucks can dig safely and effectively even in subzero conditions where traditional methods fail.

Pipeline & Oilfield Support

Used extensively in the oil & gas industry to uncover pipelines for maintenance, inspection, or tie-ins without disrupting surrounding infrastructure.

Pole Hole Excavation

Quickly and cleanly excavate holes for utility poles, fence posts, traffic signals, light poles, and signposts—saving time and minimizing surface disturbance.

Environmental Cleanups

Remove contaminated soil, sludge, or industrial waste from tanks, pits, or hazardous zones. Hydrovac’s precision is ideal for environmentally sensitive areas.

torm Drain, Culvert & Catch Basin Cleaning

Maintain stormwater infrastructure by vacuuming out sediment, debris, and buildup from culverts, drains, and basins to prevent flooding and backups.

Construction Site Debris Removal

Clear job sites of mud, slurry, or excavation spoil to maintain a clean, safe working environment and avoid costly project delays.

Potholing / Test Holes

Excavate small, precise holes to confirm underground utility locations before starting construction or drilling operations.

Remote Access Excavation

Use extended hoses to dig in confined, elevated, or remote locations where traditional digging equipment cannot reach safely or effectively.

Sewer & Water Line Repairs

Expose sewer laterals and water mains without damage to surrounding infrastructure or landscapes, ideal for urban and suburban settings.

Landscaping & Root Protection

Dig around tree roots or garden structures without cutting or tearing delicate roots and underground irrigation systems.

Hydrovac services are trusted across construction, energy, utility, municipal, environmental, and telecom industries. With safety, speed, and minimal disruption, they’re the go-to solution for precise and efficient excavation.

Real-Time Equipment Monitoring & Control System

IntelliView, a centralized data system that monitors and displays real-time equipment performance data such as blower RPM, blower temperature and fuel consumption in gallons/hour is standard. This feature provides
instantaneous fuel consumption data tha  allows you to determine the most fuel efficient operation of the unit for the application. System integrity is continually monitored to prevent misuse of the equipment, protecting both the machine and operator in an intuitive and simple-to-learn control system. Chassis information is also monitored through the IntelliView allowing the operator quick visibility of chassis engine RPM, fuel level, and more! The centralized location on the control panel allows the operator real time feedback of equipme t without having to look in multiple locations, monitoring operations and quickly troubleshooting the system if necessary. The electronic control system is located away from the water pump and other water components to prevent electronic failure in the event of a water leak

Top 10 FAQs About Hydrovac Excavation

What is hydrovac excavation?
Hydrovac excavation is a method of digging that uses pressurized water to break up soil and a vacuum system to remove the debris into a truck-mounted tank.
Yes, hydrovac is significantly safer, especially around utilities. It reduces the risk of line strikes and personal injury.
Absolutely. Our hydrovac trucks use heated water, making it ideal for cold-weather digging.
Hydrovac works on all soil types, including clay, sand, gravel, and frozen earth.
We can excavate up to 30 feet deep (or more, depending on the project requirements).
Yes. It’s non-destructive, uses minimal water, and does not emit harmful fumes like some mechanical diggers.
We require enough space to park the truck and deploy our hose (up to hundreds of feet away if needed). We’re equipped for remote access sites.
We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency services across Pennsylvania and neighboring states.
