Daylighting and potholing are synonymous. They describe the operation of exposing utility lines by means of vacuum excavation. It is a non-digging method which is less damaging than other types of excavation and is safe both for the structure of the building and for the staff involved in this type of work.

The very first thing of the whole operation is to make a utility investigation in order to identify the exact spot. This is done with the help of special equipment such as ground penetrating radar, CCTV sewer inspection camera, an electromagnetic locator, and so on.

The thing about hydro excavation services Florida has is that it’s safer than other methods. That is because hydrovac trucks are non-mechanical. The truck can also be used for trenching the soil, removing the debris and digging when the temperatures are extremely low.

This method is extremely useful and popular these days because when utility lines are affected, the problem is very hard to solve and extremely expensive also. For instance, a shovel hitting the fiber optic cables can be a very dangerous mistake. And, as a matter of fact, contractors are not even allowed to manually dig in the proximity of utility pipes, and only hydro excavation is accepted.
