Harness the power of water and vacuum to dig safely, cleanly, and without damaging underground utilities.
Brown Equipment offers a range of reliable Hydro Excavators from trusted manufacturers such as Sewer Equipment and Hydro-Spade designed to empower your crew and protect your bottom line. We provide you with the technology you need to work more safely and efficiently.
Every broken gas line, severed fiber optic cable, or damaged water main costs you time, money, and reputation.
Damaging buried gas lines, power cables, fiber optics, or water mains is incredibly costly, dangerous, and can halt projects for days or weeks.
Hand digging is slow, physically demanding, and inefficient for larger areas.
Heavy machinery can cause significant ground disturbance, compaction, and site mess.
Conventional equipment struggles in tight spaces or when pinpoint accuracy is required around fragile lines.
When traditional excavation methods risk damaging buried utilities or causing environmental disruption, hydro excavation is the smarter choice. Using high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system, hydro excavators allow you to dig with surgical precision—keeping crews safe and projects on track.
High-pressure water cuts through soil with millimeter accuracy, exposing utilities without damage, even in tight or sensitive areas.
Water can't damage underground utilities like traditional excavation methods can.
Preserves soil structure, protects root systems, and reduces site restoration needs.
Locate and expose utilities in minutes, not hours. Reduced delays mean projects finish on time.
Hydro excavators combine high-pressure water to gently break apart soil and a powerful vacuum to safely remove it, enabling surgical precision for safer crews and on-track projects.
Whether you’re exposing utilities, trenching, cleaning up debris, or digging through frozen ground, hydro excavators are built to handle the job with precision and minimal disruption.

A hydro excavator uses high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system to break up and remove soil. This non-destructive method is ideal for exposing underground utilities and digging in sensitive areas.
Hydro excavation reduces the risk of damaging buried utilities, minimizes environmental disruption, and provides more precise control—especially useful in urban, industrial, or landscaped settings.
Common applications include utility locating, slot trenching, potholing, debris removal, cold-weather digging, and pipeline or cable installation.
Yes. Many hydro excavators are equipped with heated water systems, allowing for effective digging even in frozen soil.
Absolutely. Because hydro excavation is non-mechanical, it greatly reduces the risk of utility strikes, making it one of the safest digging methods available.
Yes—many models include heated components, water recirculation systems, and insulation to allow for year-round operation in cold climates.
The vacuum system transports the loosened soil and debris into a debris tank, which can be emptied later at an appropriate disposal site.
