Our Vacuum Excavation Services

At SUE, we use advanced Vacuum Excavation Systems by Vacmaster to provide precise and safe subsurface utility exploration. Our systems, including the System 4000 & 5000, offer several key benefits:

  • Non-Destructive Excavation: Using high-pressure air or water, our vacuum excavation method is gentle enough to avoid damaging even the most delicate utilities while effectively breaking up and removing soil.

  • Increased Safety: The vacuum excavation process significantly reduces the risk of injury or damage compared to traditional digging methods, making it a safer choice for workers and the surrounding infrastructure.

  • Efficiency and Accuracy: The powerful vacuum system quickly removes excavated material, allowing for faster and more accurate utility location. This efficiency translates into time and cost savings for your projects.

  • Versatility: Our vacuum excavation services are suitable for a variety of applications, including locating underground utilities, performing soil investigations, and exposing buried structures.
