Common Questions

What is Non-Destructive Digging?
NDD is a safe excavation method using high-pressure water or air to loosen soil, with vacuum to remove debris. It avoids damage to underground infrastructure.
Is NDD suitable for residential projects?
Yes, NDD is highly suitable for residential projects. It provides a safe way to excavate near plumbing and electrical systems with minimal disruption.
What's the difference between air and hydro excavation?
Air excavation uses compressed air and is gentler, ideal for dry conditions. Hydro excavation uses water and cuts through harder soils more effectively.
