From preparation for installing new lines to regular maintenance and emergency repair, hydro excavation’s surgical accuracy and its rapid vacuum capability prove to be remarkably valuable for plumbing applications.

Our hydro excavating services were proudly featured on Pumper which highlighted a project our guys tackled in a Lancaster County mobile home community!
At Ecotech, our high-powered GapVax HV-55 and HV-56 vacuum excavators utilize both hydro and air excavation, ensuring the safest way to expose utilities without the risk of damage or injury.
From substation excavations to fruit spill cleanups, there is nothing our team can’t conquer! Our innovative technology using vacuum excavation has allowed us to remove an overturned truck loaded with fruit from marshlands while also completing the job with minimal disturbance to the ground. The vacuum technology of our trucks creates innovative solutions to minimize the damage of properties and the environment. This holds true for the sinkholes and the milk spill we worked to help clean and repair. We never know what interesting jobs we might be called to!
For Lori Mendez—Business Development Manager of Ecotech—customer service is a day in, day out, ongoing, compassionate activity. “Customer service is the key to building and growing any business,” Lori says. “It has always been and will always be one of the most important competitive advantages a business can have!”
Ecotech Hydro Excavation will be exhibiting at the upcoming PA Safety Day Conferences with PA One Call. The PA Safety Day Conferences are the largest one-day events of their kind for the construction industry in Pennsylvania!
When a new development is completed in the county, the developer turns their work over to the township to gain approval. Once this happens, a full inspection of the new development takes place. If any issues are found (i.e. cracks in the sidewalk, issues with street curbs or valve boxes, etcetera), this is the time to fix them. This process is called “development dedication,” and Ecotech Hydro Excavation is many times called in to help check items off of the development’s punch list.
The application of the custom engineered wood pellets to wet hydro excavation slurry leads to absorption, solidification, and stabilization of the wet slurry into a manageable, non-liquid material—within minutes following contact. When pellets are mixed with the wet hydro excavation slurry they begin to open allowing the kiln-dried sawdust inside to absorb the water. This allows you to take what was previously a liquid waste and either dump it onsite or move it to your local solid waste disposal facility.

At Ecotech Hydro Excavation, we strive to partner with companies who not only provide wonderful products but also share our belief that giving back to the community remains at the core of what we do. The Ecotech team recently visited the GapVax production facility in historic Johnstown, Pennsylvania. We were excited to see first-hand where our state-of-the-art hydro-excavation trucks are built. The process begins as raw steel and ends with a fully equipped truck—built to last through a generation. It was truly amazing to see up close.
