Welcome to Groess Environmental Services Ltd.

Proudly Providing Non-Destructive Hydrovac Services to Vancouver Island, BC Since 2008

Commercial Services

Precise exposure of buried infrastructure is critical to maintaining productivity, protecting existing utilities, and reducing risk on commercial and industrial job sites. Compared with utility strikes, repair costs, project delays, and less controlled excavation methods, hydro excavation provides a precise, non-destructive, and cost-effective solution.

Our crews are trained and certified for demanding site conditions, including TDG, confined space entry, First Aid, and WCB safety requirements. Each unit is equipped to support safe, controlled, and efficient work in active commercial and industrial environments.

In addition to hydro excavation, we also provide:

• Fluid transfer and water intake

• Material storage and disposal

• Utility pole hole and anchor installation

• Mainline pipe cleaning and root cutting for 4” to 36” pipe

• Industrial cleaning

• Custom service solutions tailored to project requirements

• Utility locating through BC One Call

• Catch basin cleaning and inspection

• Car wash and shop sump cleaning

• Oil separator cleaning

• Liquid waste management and disposal

• Tank pumping and cleaning

• Storm and sanitary sewer maintenance

Residential Services

“Non-destructive hydro excavation”, performed with a hydrovac unit, is the process of using high-pressure water to break up various earthly materials. This material and water mixture is continuously vacuumed up into a debris tank for later disposal.  

Hydro excavating is a much more efficient method than hand-digging, yet far less evasive as other hydraulic means, making it the perfect option for your residential excavation needs!

While hydro excavation remains our main area of focus, check out our several other services listed below: 

  • Liquid waste management & disposal

  • Storm & sanitary sewer system maintenance
