Expert Hydro Vac Services
At MT Catch Basin, we take pride in offering top-notch hydro vac truck services led by industry experts with over a decade of experience. Our team has been serving residential and commercial clients across the Greater Toronto Area with the latest hydrovac equipment and techniques. From catch basin cleaning to complex utility excavation, our track record speaks to our commitment to quality and reliability.
Hydro excavation (hydrovac) uses pressurized water to loosen soil and a powerful vacuum to extract it into a debris tank. This non-destructive method is the safest, most precise approach for digging near underground utilities — virtually eliminating the risk of utility strikes that plague traditional mechanical excavation.
Why Choose Hydrovac Over Traditional Excavation
Traditional mechanical excavation causes the majority of underground utility strikes in Ontario. Backhoes and trenchers cannot distinguish between soil and buried infrastructure, leading to damaged water mains, severed gas lines, and cut fibre optic cables. Hydrovac eliminates this risk by using water pressure rather than mechanical force.

- Precision and efficiency — no over-digging, no backfill waste
- Year-round operation with heated water for frozen ground conditions
- Versatile applications: utility locating, potholing, slot trenching, catch basin cleaning
- Smaller excavation footprint reduces restoration costs
