Hydro excavation & potholing
Daylight marked lines before you bore, trench or set a footing. You get the real depth and location, and nothing gets nicked. Test holes for crossings, conflicts and SUE work.

Hydro excavation, potholing & jetting in Central Florida
Need a line exposed before you bore? Call us. We dig with water and vacuum, so the gas, power and fiber stay in one piece.
Brand-new Vactor 2100i. The owner answers the phone.
What we do
One truck handles all of it: high-pressure water and a big vacuum on the same chassis.
Vacuum excavation & slot trenching
Tight spots, around tree roots, next to live lines. Narrow slot trenches for conduit and cable runs. We also vac out bore pits, drilling mud, slurry and standing water, and haul it off.

Hydro jetting: sewer, storm & grease lines
We jet the line clean and vacuum the debris out instead of pushing it downstream. Commercial buildings, restaurants, HOAs and homes.
Catch basin & storm drain cleaning
We pull the sand, silt and trash out of inlets and basins, then jet the pipe so it drains. Worth doing before hurricane season.
What we don’t do: utility repairs or installs. We dig, expose, clean and haul. Your crew or the utility handles the fix.
Who we work for
HDD, fiber & telecom crews
Potholes at the crossings ahead of the drill, and bore pits vacuumed out.
Site/civil contractors & GCs
Conflict checks before you trench or pour, plus cleanup when you’re done.
Locators & SUE engineers
Vacuum test holes to verify depth and position for Quality Level A.
Utilities, cities & counties
Potholing for design, storm structure cleaning and line jetting.
Property managers & restaurants
Grease and sewer line jetting, and parking lot catch basins.
Homeowners
Main drain and sewer line jetting. Call and tell us what’s going on.
Digging near marked lines?
Florida law requires extra care inside the tolerance zone, which is 24 inches either side of a marked line. The statute lists the accepted ways to find the line: hand digging, potholing, soft digging, or vacuum excavation. That last one is what we do.
See section 556.105(5)(c), Florida Statutes.
Call Sunshine 811 at least 2 full business days before you dig. We check the ticket and the positive responses before we start.
About FlowFast
FlowFast is a new hydrovac and jetting company based in Orlando. We started with a brand-new Vactor 2100i combination truck, so we can pothole a fiber crossing in the morning and jet a storm line in the afternoon.
When you call, you get the owner, Rhett Wilson, not a dispatcher. We show up when we say we will, and we leave the site clean.

How do you price a job?
It depends on the work. Call or send the form with the location and scope and we’ll give you a price.
Do you do residential drains?
Yes, main drain and sewer line jetting. Call and tell us what’s going on.
