Overview

Specialized hydro excavation, with Marks discipline behind it.

Our hydro division is a standalone hydro excavation and vacuum service, backed by the crews, equipment and safety culture of Marks Clearing & Grading. We help municipalities and utilities expose underground infrastructure without breaking ground.

The Marks Jet Vac truck combines water precision and vacuum power in a single, purpose-built rig that excavates safely around underground utilities and clears debris fast.

It runs with the same standards of safety, scheduling discipline and execution we bring to every major project.

How It Works

Soil out. Lines intact.

Hydro excavation swaps the bucket for water and vacuum, so buried infrastructure is uncovered without being struck.

How hydro excavation worksA jet vac truck uses a pressurized water wand to loosen soil in a narrow excavation while its vacuum hose lifts the slurry into the debris tank, exposing a buried utility line without damaging it. LIVE LINE NEARBY DEBRIS TANK 010203
  1. 01

    Loosen

    A high-pressure water system breaks up the soil around buried lines, without the force of a bucket.

  2. 02

    Lift

    Industrial vacuum power pulls the slurry up the hose and into the truck’s debris tank.

  3. 03

    Expose

    The utility is uncovered and visible, ready for the work at hand, with minimal surface disruption.
