How we run Hydro Excavation in Austin
A repeatable process, on every Austin job
Step 01
Review locates & site
We confirm 811 marks, plans and access, then stage the hydro-vac and water source.
Step 02
Controlled excavation
Pressurized water breaks apart the soil while our vacuum removes it cleanly, precisely and without contacting the utility.
Step 03
Document & restore
Depth and horizontal offset are recorded, the exposure photographed, and the site backfilled and restored to your specification.

We were trenching near a fiber run off South Lamar and nobody wanted to touch it. CSC vac-truck potholed the whole corridor in a morning. Zero damage, zero drama.
Priya S.Civil Superintendent, Austin · Austin, TXHydro-Excavation & Potholing · October 2025 - 5.0
Old clay lateral in Hyde Park, roots at every joint. They jetted it, ran the camera, and gave us a clean PACP-coded report the City accepted for the tap permit. No back-and-forth.
Marcus H.Renovation GC, Central Austin · Austin, TXNASSCO-Certified Sewer Inspection · November 2025 - 5.0
We were under contract on a 1940s commercial building in East Austin and the seller wouldn't budge on the sewer. Their inspection video showed a belly and two cracks - got $8k off the purchase price.

Hydro Excavation in Austin - frequently asked
Do you offer Hydro Excavation in Austin, TX?
Yes. CSC Pipe Inspection runs hydro excavation & potholing in Austin and throughout Travis County. Call (737) 618-0219 to schedule, or request a quote online.
How fast can you get to Austin for Hydro Excavation?
Austin is roughly 20 miles from our Cedar Park HQ. Same-day and next-day slots are usually available, and we run 24/7 for emergency work.
What kind of Austin projects do you handle?
In Austin we routinely handle work like pre-construction utility verification and post-repair sewer scope for dense infill projects - commercial, multifamily, industrial, and municipal. If it's underground and you need a set of eyes on it, we can help.
Do you work in South Congress or just downtown Austin?
We cover the entire Austin service area - including South Congress and surrounding neighborhoods. Distance from HQ doesn't change our pricing inside the 100-mile radius.
Can I see a real hydro excavation job before hiring you in Austin?
Yes. "Offset clay joint under a live East Austin loading dock" in Austin is published at /case-studies/austin-east-clay-lateral with footage inspected 184 ft, defects coded 7, report delivered same day, the PACP codes logged on site, and before and after camera stills so you can see the deliverable before you commit.
What does the hydro excavation deliverable for a Austin site include?
HD video, footage marks at every defect, NASSCO PACP coding, sonde-marked dig windows where excavation is needed, and a written report sized for an owner, GC, or Travis County reviewer. Same-day video and next-business-day report is the standard turnaround. NASSCO/PACP certified operators, 25+ years in Central Texas pipe work, and full commercial and municipal insurance with COIs issued the same day.
Are you insured and certified for commercial hydro excavation in Austin?
Yes. We carry full commercial and municipal liability coverage and issue COIs to your GC or property manager the same day, and every operator running the camera is NASSCO/PACP certified with 25+ years of Central Texas pipe experience behind them.
How much does hydro excavation cost in Austin?
Commercial hydro excavation in Austin is quoted by scope: line size, footage, access, and whether the pipe needs cleaning before the camera runs. Austin sits about 20 miles from our Cedar Park yard, so mobilization stays predictable for Travis County sites. Send footage and access details to office@cspipeinspection.com or call (737) 618-0219 for a same-day number.
How soon can a crew reach a Austin site for hydro excavation?
Most Austin jobs are scheduled within one to three business days, with emergency mobilization for active backups. Because we work Pflugerville, Lakeway, Bee Cave and the wider Austin metro weekly, one trip can cover several properties, and 25+ years in Central Texas means our crews already know the local sewer and storm systems.
Do you handle traffic control and permits for hydro excavation in Austin rights-of-way?
Yes. For work in Austin streets, alleys, and public easements we coordinate traffic control, carry certificates of insurance, and document the job so the city reviewer, general contractor, or owner's engineer can accept it. We follow the same process in Pflugerville, Lakeway, Bee Cave and across Travis County.
Will the hydro excavation report be accepted by Austin and Travis County reviewers?
Yes. Every deliverable is NASSCO PACP coded with HD video, footage marks, defect stills, and a written summary, which is the format Austin area public works departments, engineers, and GCs expect. Austin and Travis County submittals use that same package, usually delivered the same or next business day.
