About Hydrovac Hotline

The Nationwide Hydrovac Network — built by industry veterans to protect underground infrastructure and connect customers with trusted providers.

Our Story

Hydrovac Hotline was born from a simple observation: customers need hydrovac services, providers are out there ready to help, but finding each other should not be this hard.

Our founder, Troy Fimrite, has spent 34+ years in the hydro excavation industry — owning and operating hydrovac companies, advocating for safety standards, and building Hydrovac News into the leading resource for hydro excavation professionals. Through decades of hands-on experience, one thing became clear: the industry needed a better way to connect customers with qualified providers.

That is why we built the Nationwide Hydrovac Network. Every hydrovac provider in America can list for free — because our mission is coverage, not gatekeeping. When a customer needs hydrovac services, they should be able to find a trusted provider no matter where they are.

Preventable utility strikes cause billions in damage every year and put workers at risk. Hydro Excavation is the safest method for exposing underground utilities, and we believe making it more accessible is one of the most impactful things we can do for infrastructure safety.

What Drives Us

Safety First

Every connection we make is about protecting underground infrastructure and the people who work around it. Hydro Excavation saves lives — we make sure it is accessible everywhere.

Coverage in Every Market

Our mission is not complete until every community in America has access to professional hydrovac services. Free listings ensure no market gets left behind.

Built by Operators, for Operators

We have been in the field. We know the challenges of running a hydrovac business. Everything we build is designed to help providers grow and serve their customers better.

Industry Growth

When the hydrovac industry grows, everyone wins — fewer utility strikes, safer job sites, and more protected infrastructure. We are invested in the long-term health of this industry.

The Network Model

Hydrovac Hotline operates as a free provider network open to every hydrovac company in the United States. Providers set their service area and radius, and customers searching in that area get connected with them.

Every provider gets a full profile with photos, certifications, and unlimited leads — completely free. There are no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no lock-in.
