DC Water's multibillion-dollar Clean Rivers deep-tunnel program and dense downtown utility corridors make hydrovac potholing routine before any excavation near federal facilities. Strict no-strike requirements around secure government sites push contractors toward non-destructive vacuum excavation.
About renting a hydrovac truck
A hydrovac truck is a truck-mounted hydro excavation unit that uses pressurized water to break up soil and a high-powered vacuum to lift the resulting slurry into an onboard debris tank. It is the standard equipment for non-destructive digging (daylighting and potholing) around buried utilities.

Common jobs for a hydrovac truck in Washington
Daylighting buried utilities
Safely expose gas, electric, fiber, water, and sewer lines to verify their exact location and depth before any adjacent digging or trenching begins.
Potholing / test holes
Cut precise vertical test holes to confirm utility positions for surveys, engineering, and directional-drilling bore paths without risking a strike.
Slot trenching
Dig narrow, clean-walled trenches for conduit, cable, and small-diameter pipe with minimal surface disruption and less restoration than open-cut methods.
Utility pole and sign installation
Excavate holes for poles, posts, and foundations in congested corridors where mechanical augers could hit unmarked lines.
