Chicago runs one of the oldest and largest combined sewer systems in the country, and its dense downtown, CTA rail corridors, and constant utility relocation work create steady demand for hydrovac daylighting around congested buried infrastructure. Deep-tunnel (TARP) and water-main replacement programs add ongoing sewer-cleaning and vacuum-excavation needs.
About renting a hydrovac truck
A hydrovac truck is a truck-mounted hydro excavation unit that uses pressurized water to break up soil and a high-powered vacuum to lift the resulting slurry into an onboard debris tank. It is the standard equipment for non-destructive digging (daylighting and potholing) around buried utilities.
- Debris capacity
- 10-15 cubic yards
- Water tank capacity
- 500-1,500 gallons
- Vacuum power (blower)
- 3,000-5,000+ CFM
- Water system
- 10-18 GPM @ 2,000-3,000 PSI
Common jobs for a hydrovac truck in Chicago
Daylighting buried utilities
Safely expose gas, electric, fiber, water, and sewer lines to verify their exact location and depth before any adjacent digging or trenching begins.
Potholing / test holes
Cut precise vertical test holes to confirm utility positions for surveys, engineering, and directional-drilling bore paths without risking a strike.
Slot trenching
Dig narrow, clean-walled trenches for conduit, cable, and small-diameter pipe with minimal surface disruption and less restoration than open-cut methods.
Utility pole and sign installation
Excavate holes for poles, posts, and foundations in congested corridors where mechanical augers could hit unmarked lines.
