Hydrovac excavation services are frequently used as potholing assistance, also referred to as daylighting. Potholing refers to the process of exposing buried infrastructure lines with hydrovac vacuum excavation. Potholing exposes utility lines safely and quickly by using water to remove the earth. It is typically done during construction projects or repairs, and allows for fast project progress. With potholing, the risk of accidentally hitting or damaging a hidden utility line is removed. Hydrovac is frequently used in utility excavation projects because it is more precise, and safer, than traditional excavation. The potholing system is better able to navigate around pipes and other hazards, reducing the risks for damage. Potholing assistance is also used to remove debris, drill slots for poles, and excavate in tight areas that typically do not have room for heavy machinery. During potholing, pressurized water is sprayed on the ground to remove earth in a much shorter amount of time
