What is non destructive digging and why is it important?

Non destructive digging (NDD) uses high pressure water and vacuum suction to safely remove soil without damaging underground utilities like gas, water, sewer and power lines. It is the safest method for excavating near live services and is required on most Sydney civil and construction sites.
Do I need a vac truck or a plumber for a blocked drain?
+
For serious blockages, tree root intrusion or collapsed pipes, a vac truck with hydro excavation capability is faster and more effective than a standard plumber jetter. Pro Expose combines industrial high pressure water jetting with vacuum excavation to clear and expose the problem in one visit.
What is a sucker truck and how does it work?
+
A sucker truck is another name for a vacuum truck or vac truck. It works by blasting high pressure water into the ground to loosen soil, then uses powerful industrial vacuum suction to remove the material into a spoil tank. This process is called hydro excavation or non destructive digging (NDD) and is the safest way to dig around underground services in Sydney.
What size vac truck do I need for my job?
+
For most residential and tight access jobs in Sydney, a mini vac truck (also called a compact vac truck) is ideal. It fits through side gates as narrow as 900mm and handles everything from potholing to drain clearing. For larger civil projects, we can deploy dual units. Call 0438 498 274 and we'll recommend the right setup for your job.
Is hydro excavation safer than using a mechanical excavator?
+
Yes. Hydro excavation (also called vacuum excavation or NDD) is the safest method for digging near underground utilities. It uses water and vacuum suction instead of metal teeth, so there is virtually zero risk of striking gas, power, water or telco lines. It is required on most construction and civil sites in Sydney when working near live services.

What is the difference between a small vac truck and a full size vac truck?
+
A small vac truck is compact enough to fit through side gates as narrow as 900mm and operate in backyards, driveways and narrow laneways.
