24/7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation, also called hydrovac or vacuum excavation, is the safest way to dig near buried utilities. TPM Group uses high-pressure water and an industrial vacuum to expose lines cleanly, with no strikes and no damage. We serve Kentucky and Tennessee with 24/7 response.
Vacuum Excavation, Potholing, and Daylighting Services
Hydro excavation is a non-destructive digging method that uses pressurized water to break up soil and a powerful industrial vacuum to remove the resulting slurry. Because nothing mechanical touches the ground, buried gas lines, water mains, fiber, and electrical conduit stay intact. The same process is known across the industry as hydrovac, vacuum excavation, soft digging, daylighting, and potholing, and TPM crews handle all of it.
Compared with a backhoe or hand digging, hydro excavation is precise, faster to restore, and far safer around live infrastructure. You expose exactly what you need, backfill less, and eliminate the risk of a costly line strike.
TPM dispatches hydro excavation crews from our Bowling Green headquarters, our Nashville hub, and our Shepherdsville facility serving the greater Louisville metro.

safe by design
No mechanical tool touches the utility, so hydro excavation removes the risk of striking a gas, water, or electrical line. It is the method utilities and plants specify when accuracy matters.
precise every time
Water and vacuum expose exactly what you need without over-digging. Smaller footprints mean less to backfill, repave, and restore when the job is done.
ready around the clock
When a strike, leak, or break needs safe excavation fast, TPM responds 24/7 across Kentucky and Tennessee with the crew and equipment to open the ground and keep your site moving.
