DIGS Hydrovac understands the pace and coordination required on residential construction sites. Our goal is to provide reliable excavation support that helps builders stay on schedule while maintaining safe work practices.

If you are planning residential construction or development work that requires safe excavation, our team is ready to assist.

Homebuilder and Residential Construction Support

DIGS Hydrovac provides safe and precise hydrovac excavation services for homebuilders and residential construction projects across Alberta. Our team supports builders, developers, and site supervisors with non destructive excavation that protects underground services and keeps projects on schedule.

Residential sites often involve tight spaces, nearby structures, and existing utilities where mechanical digging can create risk. Hydrovac excavation allows controlled digging that reduces the chance of damaging buried infrastructure while maintaining clean and organized sites.

We work closely with homebuilders to coordinate timing, access, and site requirements so excavation work is completed efficiently and safely.

  • Safe exposure of electrical, gas, and communications service boxes is critical during residential construction. Hydrovac excavation allows these services to be uncovered without damage, supporting safe tie ins and inspections.

    DIGS Hydrovac helps builders confirm utility locations and depths before connection work begins, reducing risk and preventing costly repairs.

  • Hydrovac excavation is an effective solution for sump pit digging where precision and depth control are important. Using water and vacuum excavation allows soil to be removed cleanly while minimizing disturbance to surrounding areas.

    This approach is especially useful in developed lots and sites with limited working space.

  • Hydrovac can be used to support trenching for water, sewer, and electrical services where careful excavation is required. By safely exposing utilities ahead of trenching, builders can reduce the risk of strikes and delays.

    This is valuable in infill projects and neighborhoods with congested underground services.

  • Connecting new homes to municipal services requires careful excavation around existing lines. Hydrovac excavation allows builders to work safely around live utilities while preparing for service connections.

    DIGS Hydrovac supports utility connection work with accurate and controlled excavation that aligns with residential construction timelines.
