Intake Call
Tell us your site type, roughly how much daylighting around buried utilities you are dealing with, and whether you need Canada service today or on a set schedule.
Service Pillar
Hydrovac and Vacuum Truck Services Canada
Hydrovac Services is for you if you run one of utility contractors, construction crews, municipal works departments, or industrial sites anywhere across Canada. Every visit centres on daylighting around buried utilities and slot trenching and potholing, and we use pressurized water and vacuum instead of a backhoe, so buried lines never get struck, instead of a rushed job that leaves the real problem behind. Most people call us because a struck gas line or cut fibre cable from blind mechanical digging kept happening with a previous contractor, and the fix usually starts with a short conversation about your access, your volume, and how soon you need a truck. Below, you will see exactly what a visit covers, how your first appointment gets booked, and how the hydrovac dig adapts as your site changes through the year.
Getting started
What We Sort Out On Your First Call
When you plan your service, we start with your current volume, how often daylighting around buried utilities needs attention, and whether Canada access fits a standard truck or needs a remote-hose rig. Because we use pressurized water and vacuum instead of a backhoe, so buried lines never get struck, you are matched to the right crew on the first call instead of waiting on a drawn-out proposal. Expect one quick follow-up after the first visit once your real numbers are clear, and know that small schedule tweaks then are normal, not a sign anything was set up wrong.
How A Visit Works
Site & Access Check
We confirm truck access, where the tank, pit or basin sits, and whether a struck gas line or cut fibre cable from blind mechanical digging has been a recurring problem, so the crew arrives with the right rig.
On-Site Work
The crew handles slot trenching and potholing and the rest of the job on site, since we use pressurized water and vacuum instead of a backhoe, so buried lines never get struck rather than a quick skim that leaves the real issue behind.
Disposal & Sign-Off
We haul and dispose of the waste properly, hand you any manifest or paperwork you need, and set your next visit if you want one. After that, changes are a quick call, not a new setup.

- Why we use pressurized water and vacuum instead of a backhoe, so buried lines never get struck instead of a rushed in-and-out visit.

Service details
What A Standard Visit Actually Covers
A visit starts with daylighting around buried utilities, then moves to slot trenching and potholing and debris tank offload, scaled to your site rather than a generic checklist. If you run utility contractors, the job looks different than it does for municipal works departments, so what the crew brings and how long they stay reflects the site in front of them, not a flat template.
We Use Pressurized Water and Vacuum Instead Of A Backhoe, So Buried Lines Never Get Struck. That matters most if you have already dealt with a struck gas line or cut fibre cable from blind mechanical digging, because it is usually a scheduling or access problem rather than a one-off fluke. Fixing the routine, not just clearing today's mess, is what tends to keep it solved.
If you manage more than one location, you can run every site through a single account, with each address on its own visit frequency instead of one blanket schedule. When your volume changes, adjusting a site is a quick call, not a renegotiated contract, and every visit is logged so your records stay clean for inspectors or head office.
You usually get a truck on site the same week you call, since crews already run routes through most regions we cover. When a spike, a shutdown, or an emergency hits, we can absorb it without reworking your whole account, because the hydrovac dig is built to flex around your site rather than lock you into a fixed cadence for the year.
