Dig Less. Hit Nothing. Finish on Time.
Hydrovac uses pressurized water and vacuum to expose buried utilities with precision. Here’s what that means on your site.
Dig exactly what's needed.
A precise hole instead of an open trench means less spoil, less backfill and a smaller footprint on a site that's already tight.
We fit where your equipment can't.
Tight urban corridors, under sidewalks, between live services, inside active rail. If an excavator can't get in safely, we can.
No strikes, no stop-work.
Water doesn't cut gas, fibre or watermain. Nothing gets hit, nothing gets reported, nobody stands around waiting on a utility crew.
Winter doesn't stall the schedule.
Onboard boilers cut frost, so a February start date stays a February start date.
We show up when we say we will.
Same-day and after-hours callouts across Ontario, because a locate delay shouldn't turn into a two-day delay.
Clean site, happy inspector.
Spoils go straight into the tank. Not onto the road, not into the catch basin, not into a complaint.
Restoration costs drop.
Less asphalt, sod and concrete to put back. On most jobs that's where open-cut budgets quietly disappear.
What We Do With a Vac Truck
Daylighting to spills response, on road and on rail.
Utility Daylighting
Expose gas, hydro, fibre, water and sewer before you dig. Locates tell you roughly where a service is daylighting tells you exactly, including depth. Standard practice on municipal and utility work, and the cheapest insurance on any site with live services.
Slot Trenching
Narrow, clean-walled trenches for cable, conduit and pipe without opening the full width of a road. Less spoil, less backfill, less restoration, and a lane you can hand back sooner.
Sanitary & Sewer Cleaning
Catch basins, manholes, sewer lines and wet wells cleaned and vacuumed out. Debris hauled and disposed of under our MOE registration.
Spills Response & Cleanup
Registered with the MOE for spills response. Contaminated soil and liquid recovered, contained and hauled to approved disposal — with the documentation your environmental file needs.
Hi-Rail Hydrovac
Rules-qualified operators working inside live rail corridors. Daylighting, potholing and excavation on right-of- way where road equipment can't reach and won't be permitted.
Emergency & After-Hours Callout
Same-day response across Ontario. Strikes, breaks, floods and washouts don't wait for business hours, and neither do our crews.
Every Sector Has Its Own Rules. We Work to All of Them.
From MOE registration to rail rules qualification, our crews arrive ready for municipal, telecom, rail, power, fuel and development sites across Ontario.
Municipal & Government
Watermain and sewer daylighting, catch basin and
manhole cleaning, spills response. Working under
MOE registration for municipalities and utilities
across Simcoe, Muskoka and the GTA.
Telecom & Broadband
Potholing and slot trenching for fibre builds.
Expose existing plant before boring, and keep
conduit runs off the full-width trench.
Developers & General Contractors
Site servicing for subdivisions and ICI
development, without opening finished roads,
landscaping or hard surfaces.
Developers & General Contractors
Same-day callouts when a locate is wrong or a
service turns up where the drawings said it
wouldn't. We work around your sequence, not
against it.
Rail & Transit
Rules-qualified crews inside live corridors.
Daylighting, potholing and excavation on right-
of-way where road equipment isn't permitted.
Hydro & Power
Primary and secondary duct for distribution
networks, bored or ploughed under roads,
highways and rail.
Fuel & Gas
Fuel and gas line installation to the tolerances and documentation this work requires.
What Happens After You Call.
A clear four-step process, so you know who is on site, what is being exposed and when the surface goes back.
Scope and locate
You send us the site, the scope and the drawings. We confirm locates are in place, review as-builts for what's buried, and flag anything that looks off before a truck leaves the yard.
Mobilize
Crew and vac truck on site with a job-specific plan and the right permits in hand. Rail corridor work goes out with rules- qualified operators and the flagging arrangements already sorted.
Excavate
Water and vacuum, no blade. Utilities exposed and confirmed by depth and type. Spoils go straight to the tank, so the road stays clear while we work.
Backfill and restore
Hole backfilled and compacted, surface restored, spoils hauled and disposed of under our MOE registration. Photos and documentation for your project file.

Something Broke. We'll Be There Today
Watermain breaks, utility strikes, spills and washouts don't wait for business hours. Crews across Central Ontario mean we mobilize the day you call, with MOECP-registered spills response and operators who've handled it before.

Straight answers about how hydrovac works, when to use it and where we operate.
Yes. CC Underground provides hydrovac excavation for utility, municipal, commercial and infrastructure projects across Ontario. Our crews use high-pressure water and vacuum excavation to safely expose and remove soil around existing infrastructure.
Yes. Hydrovac excavation is particularly useful where work is being performed around existing utilities or in congested areas. It allows crews to remove soil with greater precision while reducing disturbance around buried infrastructure.
Yes. We provide utility daylighting and potholing to expose specific sections of underground infrastructure. This can help contractors verify utility locations and depths before drilling, trenching or other excavation work.
Yes. CC Underground provides hydrovac excavation for water main, sewer and other underground utility projects, including exposing existing infrastructure and supporting repair and construction work.
Yes. Our hydrovac equipment can be used for slot trenching and other precision excavation applications where controlled soil removal is required around underground utilities and infrastructure.
The cost depends on factors such as excavation depth, soil conditions, project size, site access, disposal requirements and the equipment required. Contact CC Underground with your project details for a quote.
As a hydrovac company based on Highway 12 in Oro-Medonte, we provide hydrovac services across Central Ontario, including Barrie, Orillia, Simcoe County, Muskoka and the GTA.
