Hydrovac Companies in Texas: What to Look for

From booming cities like Dallas and Austin to fast-growing rural developments, Texas is in a near-constant state of construction. With that growth comes a demand for safer, faster, and more precise excavation—especially when underground utilities are involved. That’s where hydrovac companies in Texas play a critical role.

At NG Companies, we understand the Texas landscape and provide dependable, damage-free hydrovac excavation services across the state. But if you’re searching for the right partner, here’s what to look for and why hydrovac is the smarter choice in the first place.

Why Hydrovac Excavation?

Hydrovac, or hydro excavation, uses pressurized water and a vacuum system to remove soil. This method is cleaner, more controlled, and far less risky than traditional mechanical digging, especially when you’re working around gas lines, fiber optics, or water mains.

Key benefits:

• Non-destructive digging: Prevent costly utility strikes
• Precision and control: Ideal for tight, congested, or sensitive areas
• Faster site prep: Save time with efficient daylighting and potholing. A standard pot hole takes just a few minutes.
• Improved safety: Minimize risk for crews and infrastructure

What to Look for in a Texas Hydrovac Company 

Not all hydrovac providers are created equal. As you evaluate your options, prioritize companies that offer:

Texas Experience
From the soil conditions in Houston to regulatory requirements in San Antonio, a local provider with boots-on-the-ground experience can save you from unnecessary delays.

Modern Equipment
Look for a fleet that’s equipped with powerful vacuum trucks, GPS tracking, and up-to-date safety systems. Downtime costs you—well-maintained equipment keeps your project moving.
