Advanced Hydro Excavation Based in Sheridan, Arkansas

Safe, non-destructive digging for complex commercial sites. Based in Sheridan, AR, Sheridan Excavating utilizes powerful hydro excavation technology to precisely expose underground utilities without the risk of mechanical line strikes.

The Safest Way to Dig Around Live Infrastructure

When you are working in congested commercial zones or industrial facilities across Arkansas, digging blindly with heavy machinery is a massive liability. Striking a live gas main, high-voltage electrical line, or fiber optic cable can cause catastrophic safety hazards, shut down your project, and result in massive fines. At Sheridan Excavating, we provide advanced hydro excavation services to safely expose live underground infrastructure so your project can move forward without the risk.

Hydro excavation (often called daylighting) uses highly pressurized water to slice through soil and heavy clay, while a powerful industrial vacuum simultaneously sucks the muddy debris into a holding tank. This non-destructive process completely eliminates the need for sharp excavator teeth near sensitive lines. We bring over 30 years of heavy civil experience to the table, ensuring that even the most complex utility locates are handled safely, cleanly, and efficiently.

Core Hydro Excavation Services:

  • Daylighting & Potholing: Safely excavating small, precise holes to visually confirm the exact depth and location of existing underground pipes and cables.

  • Slot Trenching: Digging narrow, accurate trenches for new utility installations in highly congested areas where traditional heavy equipment cannot safely operate.

  • Piling & Pole Hole Excavation: Precision digging for utility poles, signposts, and structural pilings without destabilizing the surrounding compacted soil.

  • Catch Basin & Manhole Cleanouts: Utilizing our powerful vacuum trucks to rapidly extract heavy mud, debris, and blockages from commercial drainage systems.

Precision Digging with Zero Damage

Traditional mechanical digging in Arkansas's unpredictable soil can easily damage aging PVC, scratch protective pipe coatings, or snap tensioned cables. Hydro excavation is the modern standard for risk mitigation on commercial sites. By relying on pressurized water rather than heavy steel, we can dig around roots, existing conduit, and delicate infrastructure without causing a scratch.

Sheridan Excavating operates top-tier vacuum trucks capable of tackling deep excavations and heavy, rocky clay. Because the soil is immediately vacuumed away, hydro excavation also keeps your job site incredibly clean and organized. There are no massive dirt piles blocking traffic or washing into storm drains, making it the ideal solution for urban environments, roadways, and active commercial properties.

  • 100% Non-Destructive: Guaranteed protection for existing water, gas, electrical, and telecommunications lines.

  • Surgical Precision: Digging exact dimensions for poles or trenches, leaving the surrounding earth perfectly intact.

  • Clean & Contained: All soil and debris are vacuumed directly into our trucks, eliminating job site mess and runoff.

  • Year-Round Capabilities: Utilizing heated water systems to cut through frozen ground and frozen clay during winter months.
