Hydrovac across the Coastal Bend
We take hydro excavation requests from Corpus Christi out to Port Lavaca, Alice and Kingsville.
Who can reach you
The towns below are where requests come from. Whether a truck can get to your site, and when, is up to the operators.
We pass each request to independent hydrovac operators who work your part of the Coastal Bend. Some are close to Corpus Christi and its ship channel, others work farther out. A town at the edge of the region usually means more travel time, and operators may price that in or decline the job.
Your town isn't on the list? Choose "Other Coastal Bend town" in the form and say where the site is. The list isn't a promise of coverage, only of where we accept requests.

The same rules everywhere
Texas 811
Excavators generally must notify Texas 811 at least 48 hours before digging, not counting weekends and legal holidays. That applies in every town on this page, to contractors and homeowners alike.
Local permits
Digging in a street or right-of-way can need a permit from the city or county that owns it. Ask the City of Corpus Christi, or the city or county where your site is, which one applies.
Plants and terminals
Refinery, plant and port sites set their own contractor rules: orientation, safety pre-qualification, insurance certificates and work permits. Say so in the form so your request goes to operators who can meet them.
Send the job details
Pick your town in the first step. Operators need the site, the scope and your 811 status to price a hydrovac job.
We pass your request to independent local operators who quote you directly. We don't own trucks or do the digging.
