Hydrovac work in Toronto's districts means exposing buried gas, hydro, fiber and water lines with pressurized water and a high-vacuum truck, so no bucket touches them. Our three trucks run out of a yard inside the city, which gives North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, the East End and Downtown M5V the shortest drive and crews who know the streets.
Most utility exposure work comes from the Keele St and Finch Ave W industrial blocks and the Port Lands, where the flood protection project re-used, remediated or removed about one million cubic metres of contaminated soil. That history means we plan disposal before the first hole is cut. A dig in the public road allowance also needs a cut permit from the city's Utility Cut Office, so we confirm the permit and the Ontario One Call ticket during setup.
Older residential streets in the East End and Etobicoke are where sewer backups pile up after heavy storms. The July and August 2024 rainstorms flooded more than 1,000 homes across the city, and those calls go to our emergency unit, not the next scheduled truck. Scheduled digs are booked during business hours; water main breaks, sewer backups and insurance claims get 24/7 dispatch.
Jobs here run on the same owned trucks, Red Seal crews and published CAD rate card as all of our hydrovac services across Toronto and the GTA.
