Hydro-excavation, also known as "potholing"  is a highly effective, safe, and increasingly popular method for exposing underground pipelines and sensitive utility lines for visual inspection. This non-destructive technique minimizes the risk of damage typically associated with mechanical digging equipment and is widely regarded as the most efficient way to excavate or clear material around complex underground systems. Mattucci Underground Services trucks are fully self-contained, utilizing high-pressure water to break up ground material. Integrated vacuum systems and debris tanks remove both water and solids during the process, with the capability to decant liquids and dispose of solids either on-site or off-site.
