Hydro-Excavation and Underground Services

Top-quality industrial cleaning performed by a trusted underground excavation service provider

Rely on the industrial cleaning experts for safe and efficient underground cleaning services

Hydro-excavation involves the use of high-pressure water and industrial vacuum equipment in order to safely excavate around utilities and other sensitive underground structures. This excavation method is non-destructive and has the advantage of being effective even in frozen ground. Along with “hydro-vac” equipment, GLPV offers a full line of services related to underground cleaning, such as catch basin cleaning, sewer line jetting, catch basin filter replacement, and a variety of other related services. The hydro-excavation and other underground cleaning services can be performed adjacent to the truck or in hard-to-reach locations, such as a basement, crawlspace, elevator shaft, or other similar spaces, using a remote vacuum hose.

Choose GLPV’s hydro-excavation services to minimize the environmental impact of your excavation. This process allows for fast, and precise excavations that require less backfill, less labor, and less overall impact to an area than some conventional digging methods. A controlled-flow water stream allows for a high level of accuracy. Because we remove only material necessary for repair or inspection, minimal material needs to be removed when compared with the large, excavator or back-hoe bucket volumes. The process is also non-destructive, making it safe to perform in the area of electrical, gas, sewer or other buried utilities. Since the vacuumed spoils are conveyed directly into the debris body of the daylighting truck, the excavated material can be hauled offsite for beneficial reuse or recycling, rather than creating a mess on the project site. This also allows the material to be disposed of offsite should contaminates be present in the area of the excavation.

Hydro-Excavation Services

Using high-pressure water and industrial-strength vacuums, hydro-excavation safely breaks up soil and removes it with surgical precision through vacuums into a debris tank. In situations where there is danger of damaging underground utilities, hydro-excavation is a popular solution due to the minimization of risks associated with the usage of water.

Storm Sewer Line-Jetting Services

Line-jetting, also known as water jetting, is the process of using high, and high-pressure water to unclog plumbing pipes and drain line systems. These obstructions hinder the flow of utility lines and can result in thousands of dollars in damage and emergency services.

Catch Basin Cleaning

Catch-basin cleaning should be performed at any facility that has an on-site storm-sewer system that includes catch basins and manholes. Catch-basin cleaning is vital to maintain the flow of surface water into the storm system to keep your property clear and free of standing water. It is also the job of the catch basin to capture sediment, leaves, contaminants, and other debris, while at the same time directing your rain run-off away from your property. Regular maintenance of catch basins and inlets is necessary to ensure they function properly. Individual basin cleaning is the first step to maintaining a functioning drainage system. Line jetting services are often performed hand-in-hand with catch basin cleaning.

Pond Cleaning and Sludge Removal

Many large ponds in the Midwest have an excessive amount of sludge and debris built up from lack of maintenance. We can handle any project, whether it is pumping all of the sludge out of the pond or simply setting up a routine maintenance schedule. The commercial pond-cleaning process for sludge removal consists of: draining water from the pond, vacuuming and pumping sludge out of the pond, and hauling it off the property.

Once your pond cleaning has been completed, it is important to establish a routine maintenance program to help with control of algae and water quality. A regularly maintained biological ecosystem will ensure clean water for the life of the pond.
