At Badger Daylighting™ we build our own custom and purpose built hydrovac trucks – ‘Badgers’ or ‘Badger Hydrovacs’ as they are popularly referred to. These vacuum trucks use integrated high-pressure water and vacuum systems mounted on a truck chassis to expose buried infrastructure or prepare an area for future work.
Over the course of our 25 years in operation, the ‘Badger Hydrovac’ has gained a venerable reputation in the hydro-excavation category as it has consistently proven itself superior over traditional mechanical excavation.
This has allowed Badger to grow into the largest hydrovac excavation fleet in North America. We have well over 1400 vacuum trucks (Badgers) and an extensive service coverage network strategically positioned throughout Canada and the USA.
Badger Daylighting is a proud supporter of our military. They know the hard work and long hours our servicemen and women provide to our country.
As a leader in the field of non-destructive hydro-excavation services, Badger is on a “search & employ” mission. We are looking for men and women who have left the military and are interested in becoming supervisors, mechanics, drivers, and machine operators for a growing company that cares about its employees.
