Our trucks make regular runs into the Kitchener-Waterloo region, bringing the same non-destructive excavation we deliver every week in Guelph. Whether you're a contractor working near uptown Waterloo, a utility crew along the ION corridor, or a homeowner exposing a water service line, we can typically have a truck on your Waterloo site within 1–3 business days.
Visually expose buried gas, water, hydro and fibre lines so crews can dig with confidence — the safe way to confirm what's really underground before construction starts.
Clean, precise holes for hydro poles, signs, footings and anchors — dug to spec without disturbing the surrounding ground or nearby services.
Narrow, accurate trenches for conduit, irrigation, drainage and cable installs across Waterloo, with far less surface restoration than mechanical digging.
Powerful vacuum removal of soil, gravel, mud and construction debris — including catch basins, vaults and other confined spots.
Waterloo's established neighbourhoods and busy campus and tech-park sites often leave no room for an excavator. Our hose-fed setup reaches where machines can't.
Heated water lets us cut through frozen ground, keeping Waterloo projects moving all winter long.
A backhoe bucket can't tell the difference between soil and a gas line. Hydrovac excavation uses pressurized water to loosen the ground and a high-powered vacuum to lift it away — exposing utilities without ever touching them with steel. For work inside the tolerance zone of located utilities, Ontario best practice calls for non-mechanical excavation, and hydrovac is the fastest, cleanest way to do it. You avoid utility strikes, repair bills, service outages and safety incidents, and the smaller excavation footprint means less restoration when the job is done.
