Vacuum excavation (potholing) for electrical work: why it’s safer than guessing

When you need to run a conduit, upgrade a supply, or work near buried services, guessing is expensive. Vacuum excavation (often called potholing) lets you verify what’s underground with far less risk of striking a service.

Planning works near buried services? See our vac services (potholing / vacuum excavation) page, or request a quote.

When it’s worth it

  • Before trenching in unknown ground
  • Near existing mains/services
  • When you need to confirm depth/position for compliance

If you’re planning works and want a safer approach, request a quote and include photos of the area.
