Hydro Excavation for Austin sites

downtown Austin, South Congress, Mueller and the I-35 commercial corridor

Local access and priorities

Austin's occupied commercial properties, infill projects and municipal infrastructure need defined work limits. Coordinate tenant access, street or service-yard staging and the distinction between private site systems and public assets.

Define the service scope

Review utility records and markings before exposing agreed conflict points. Confirm surface restoration, spoil handling and work-zone restrictions with the contractor rather than assuming a clear excavation path.

Prepare your quote request

Send utility plans, marked conflict locations, required exposure depths and the excavation or construction schedule. Include the Austin project address, site contact and access restrictions.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.
