Most people call it potholing but we at Badger prefer daylighting. Both terms are used to
describe the excavating of buried facilities using vacuum excavation. Daylighting is a more
comprehensive term - it means exposing underground utility lines to daylight. Drivers think of potholes
as those pits in the road that damage your car.

Potholing or Daylighting safely exposes underground utilities without risk of damage compared to convential backhoe digging.
