Experience soil excavation made easy with airvac - portable, powerful and ready for any challenge in many digging applications. What is Air Excavation? Air excavation involves the use of compressed air to break apart the soil allowing it to be sucked up by a vacuum into a nearby tank. With its portable design and non-conductive technology, this method of excavation is essential for environments where traditional excavation methods cannot access or if underground utilities are present. The dry excavated soil can then be re-used as backfill or taken away allowing for a clean and efficient work site. Why Choose Air Excavation? Precise digging Minimal disruption to the surrounding work area Easy mobility for hard to access areas Ability to store, remove or re-use the dry fill on-site Non-conductive technology allows for safe digging around utilities Efficient and cost effective Services and ApplicationsAir Excavation can be used in many applications, such as: Window well drain cleaning or installation Foundation repair Slot trenching Post holes for fences or other applications Utility potholing Tree root restoration Meter box or catch
