Latest news, tips, and insights about the hydrovac industry

When severe storms tear through communities, electrical contractors and construction crews rush in to restore power and rebuild critical infrastructure. These "storm chasers" work around the clock to get lights back on and utilities flowing again.

It's 2:30 PM on a Tuesday. Your hydro vac truck is loaded with slurry, and you need to find a disposal site – fast. You're flipping through old business cards, calling facilities that may or may not be open, and crossing your fingers that someone picks up the phone.

When your project deadline is looming and you need reliable hydro excavation services, the last thing you want is to discover your contractor doesn't have the right certifications or experience. One bad hire can mean delays, safety incidents, and budget overruns.

The average project manager spends 3.5 hours per week just trying to locate available hydro excavation crews. That's 182 hours per year - nearly a month of work - wasted on phone tag and scheduling headaches.
