Your family-owned hydro excavation company

When you face challenging dig conditions – distance, difficult terrain, frozen ground, underground or overhead utilities and more – hydro excavation gets the job done. When you want a hydro excavation company with the track record to deliver, that’s where Valley Hydro-Excavation comes in.

Tap the Power of Water with Hydro Excavation

Hydro excavation companies use water to dig and remove soil. This helps reduce the risk of damaging buried utilities, increase precision and improve safety, keeping your project moving at the pace of industry.

Excavation Using the Force of Nature

In a hydro excavation project, high-pressure water is used to loosen soil. A hydro or vacuum excavation company then vacuums water and soil into a tank. That’s why, as providers, we’re sometimes called a vacuum excavation company. The hydro excavation process works in freezing temperatures and navigates obstacles with minimal disruption.
