we provide vacuum excavation!

Don't settle for less on the job. We use advanced methods for utility exposure that save everyone time, money, and excessive mess.

Hydrovac Utility Exposure

Safety is paramount: trenches and excavations pose serious hazards, including cave-ins, falling loads, and unmarked utilities. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), trenching and excavation are among the most hazardous operations in construction.

Reduced Risk
This method enables careful exposure rather than blind digging by carefully vacuuming around the utilities.
Higher Accuracy
Completing excavation in less time and with fewer hours compared to traditional methods.
Low Impact
Less disturbance of surrounding soil, reduced erosion, and more efficient.

backed by 33 Years of utility experience

4G Excavation was founded and ran by Donnie Greenhood, a Journeyman Lineman with extensive utility and Excavation knowledge. We dig with surgical precision trusted by Utah's biggest utility companies.

Accuracy

Thank you to each of our clients and their willingness to let us help their homes and businesses.

Had Charles inspect our new home after we found a report on asbestos in the house. He was very knowledgeable and prompt. Everything checked out great. He not only ran the air asbestos tests, but he also inspected the whole house for moisture. Most home inspectors don't know what they are doing when it comes to asbestos testing, but Charles does! Will call again!
