Gringo Pumping · Coastal Bend
Vacuum and hydro excavation exposes buried utilities, tanks and lines safely — no busted pipes, no torn-up property, no backhoe roulette.
The service
A backhoe doesn't know where the gas line is. Vacuum excavation doesn't care — it can't cut what it only vacuums. Using air or pressurized water plus industrial suction, we expose buried utilities, septic components and lines precisely, leaving everything around the hole untouched.
Almost nobody else in the Coastal Bend offers this — it's specialty equipment most septic and dirt-work companies simply don't have. For contractors, that means potholing utilities before a bore or a dig. For homeowners, it means finding and exposing a tank or line without turning the yard into a construction site.
What's included
Common questions
Same principle, different loosening agent: air or mechanical agitation vs. pressurized water. Water wins in hard-packed clay; air keeps the spoil dry and reusable. We bring what your soil calls for.
Near live gas, water, electric or fiber, a backhoe strike is a shutdown, a repair bill, and sometimes a genuine emergency. Vacuum excavation physically can't slice a line — that's the entire point.
Yes — potholing and daylighting for bores, pole sets and digs are a big part of this service. Call with the locate sheet and we'll get on your schedule.
Yes — that combo is our home turf. We locate the tank, expose the lids cleanly, and your lawn barely notices.
