With 30+ years of experience, we ensure minimal disruption to landscapes while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations and safety standards across Edmonton and surrounding areas.
Hydrovac Excavation
Our hydrovac services use high-pressure water and vacuum technology for precise, non-destructive excavation around underground utilities. This method safely exposes pipelines and cables while minimizing environmental impact. We offer daylighting, slot trenching, and dewatering solutions for projects requiring accuracy in congested areas, with capabilities up to 20 meters deep and 150 meters from the truck location.
Directional Drilling
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) allows us to install underground utilities with minimal surface disruption. This trenchless method is ideal for crossing roads, waterways, and environmentally sensitive areas. We handle gas, electrical, water, and sewer line installations using advanced tracking systems to ensure precise bore paths for residential and commercial projects in Alberta.

We provide septic tank and cistern installation, repair, and maintenance for rural properties. Our services include concrete tank replacements, system inspections, and emergency repairs. We ensure compliance with Alberta regulations while offering maintenance advice to extend system lifespan, serving homeowners and businesses in Sherwood Park, Strathcona County, and surrounding regions.

Report
These folks installed a grinder pump for me. When it acted up 2 yrs later, they initially made arrangements to have a look at it, but then they stood me up 3 times, before finally telling me they don't actually service these units they install. If they'd been up front about that, I wouldn't have lost so much time waiting for them to show up on 3 different days. Very frustrating to deal with.

We had a crew out to rectify a sewer back up. They were all very pleasant, hard workers who made sure the job was done to my standards. They took the time to listen to my questions and concerns. A few weeks later they are back to bring my yard back into order. They went above and beyond my expectations and have made my yard look better than it did before. I am so pleased with the results and really enjoyed having them on site.

I cant say enough about the service I received from Strathcona Excavating. I had to replace both our cistern and septic tank and when i called for a quote, i was greeted by a very friendly lady who then directed me on to the owner. Jason gave me a fair price and scheduled the work quickly. The crew that attended my house was polite and professional in all areas. They completed the work efficiently and with as little disruption as possible. When they were finished, my property looked as it did before they arrived. I would definitely recommend Strathcona Excavating if you need this kind of work.
