Hydro (Non-Destructive) Excavation

Non-destructive vacuum excavation that digs safely around pipes, cables and services — no strikes, no damage.

Hydro Excavation by Gutters Plus

When you need to dig near live services, a machine bucket is a liability. Hydro excavation uses pressurised water and a powerful vacuum to break up and remove soil safely — exposing pipes, cables and conduits without striking them. It's the safe, clean, compliant way to pothole, expose and trench around utilities.

What's included

Done properly, shown in photos.
