Hydro Excavating Services in Cape May County

Precision. Safety. Zero Damage to Underground Utilities.

Hydro excavating, also known as vacuum excavation, uses high-pressure water to break up soil, which is then vacuumed into a holding tank, leaving behind a clean, precise trench or hole. It’s the safest and most accurate method for digging near underground utilities, foundations, and sensitive infrastructure.

Why Choose Hydro Excavating?

Prevents Damage to Utilities
No more surprise strikes on water lines, gas pipes, or fiber cables — our non-destructive process exposes underground systems with confidence.

Cleaner & Faster Than Hand-Digging
Save time and labor while keeping your job site safer and more professional.

Ideal for Tight or Sensitive Areas
Hydro excavation can access areas traditional machines can’t — even near buildings, sidewalks, and landscaping.

Perfect for Locating & Exposing Utilities
Need to verify depth or location of existing lines? We’ll get to them safely without disruption.

Common Applications

  • Exposing gas, electric, water, or sewer lines

  • Daylighting utilities for inspection or installation

  • Trenching near buildings or sensitive roots

  • Potholing for utility verification

  • Slot trenching for pipe or conduit installation

  • Excavating in frozen or compacted soil

Who We Serve

  • Utility companies

  • Municipalities

  • General contractors

  • Engineers

  • Property managers

  • Homeowners with complex underground systems

In November of 2020 we had sink holes in our front lawn and driveway. I contacted 3 different Excavation Companies and Budd’s was the only one to respond. Thank God they did and what an excellent job they did. I would refer anyone who needs Excavation work to be done to Budd’s

Budd’s is a great family owned and local company to deal with. The fresh water line coming into the house from the street sprung a leak we contacted Budd’s they came out and assessed the problem, fixed it and had us up and running in no time. I will definitely use them for any further projects that may come up and have recommended them to other people in my family
