Hydro Excavation and Vacuum Truck Services in South Florida
Mitchell Excavation Inc. uses hydro excavation to offer safer, more precise and often a more efficient alternative to traditional digging. Our hydro vac trucks use pressurized water and a vacuum system to significantly reduce the risk of damaging underground utilities, preventing costly repairs and other potential hazards. Its pinpoint accuracy minimizes the excavation footprint, leading to less disruption, reduced restoration costs, and improved access to confined spaces. Hydro excavation can often be performed faster than conventional methods, especially in congested areas or when dealing with sensitive infrastructure.

Vac-Truck Services
Vac-truck services utilize powerful vacuum trucks equipped with large tanks and strong suction hoses to remove various materials, typically liquids, slurries and loose solids. The vacuum system efficiently extracts the material, which is then stored in the truck's tank for proper disposal or treatment. These services are highly versatile and are employed across a wide range of industries and applications due to their efficiency and ability to access difficult-to-reach areas.

Catch Basin & Storm Drain Cleaning
Storm drain and catch basin cleaning is the process of removing accumulated debris, sediment, and pollutants from these drainage structures. Catch basins are essential components of stormwater management systems, designed to capture runoff from streets, parking lots, and other surfaces, preventing flooding and protecting water quality by trapping pollutants before they enter waterways. Regular cleaning ensures the efficient operation of these basins, preventing blockages and maintaining their capacity to filter out harmful substances.

Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation, also known as hydrovac, is a non-destructive excavation technique that uses high-pressure water to break up soil and a powerful vacuum to remove the resulting slurry. This method allows for precise digging, making it ideal for safely exposing underground utilities and excavating in sensitive areas without the risk of damage associated with traditional mechanical digging. The vacuum system efficiently removes debris, leaving a clean and accessible work area.

Potholing
Potholing, also known as daylighting, is a safe and precise excavation technique used to visually identify and locate underground utilities before construction or digging activities begin. By precisely removing soil with pressurized water and a vacuum system, potholing involves creating small test holes to expose utilities, allowing workers to determine the exact horizontal and vertical position, type, and condition of the utility lines, thus preventing accidental damage and ensuring safety.

Slot Trenching
Slot trenching is a method of hydro excavation using high pressure water to create narrow trenches in the soil, often used for installing or exposing underground utilities like pipes, cables, or conduits. Unlike tradition excavation methods, such as mechanical excavation and manual digging, slot trenching allows for minimal disruption to the surrounding soil and surface area. This technique is particularly useful for excavation projects in urban environments or areas with existing infrastructure, as it reduces the risk of damaging existing utilities and minimizes the amount of backfill and surface restoration needed.
