The Cost of Downtime

When Your Hydrovac Goes Down, Everything Stops.

Your crew is standing around. Your client is calling. And every minute that passes costs you money you'll never get back.

$500-$1,500+

Lost Per Hour

Every hour your truck sits idle, you're bleeding revenue on labor, equipment, and missed deadlines.

3-7 Days

Typical Shop Wait

Tow it to a dealership and wait in line. Meanwhile, your project falls behind schedule.

Contract Penalties

Missed Deadlines

Delayed excavation means angry clients, penalty clauses, and damaged reputation.

Wrong Diagnosis

General Shops Guess

Most mechanics don't specialize in hydrovac systems. They'll charge you to learn on your truck.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

With 24/7 mobile response and a certified mechanic who specializes in hydrovac systems, we get your truck running again—fast—so you can get back to work.
