When your water line breaks,
minutes matter.

Sudden loss of water, low pressure, or active leaks can quickly cause damage to your home and property. Mytan Contracting provides rapid emergency response to diagnose and repair water line issues as quickly and safely as possible.

Don’t destroy your yard if you don’t have to.

Traditional trenching often means tearing up lawns, landscaping, and driveways – then paying to repair the damage. Mytan Contracting uses specialized, modern equipment designed to reduce disruption whenever site conditions allow:

  • Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
    Trenchless installation and replacement under lawns, landscaping, and driveways with minimal surface disturbance.
  • Hydro Excavation (Hydrovac)
    Pressurized heated water and vacuum excavation for precise, non-destructive utility exposure and accurate repairs.

Why wreck your yard for no reason?

Our goal is to fix the problem with the least disruption possible.

Horizontal Directional Drilling

Mytan Contracting is extremely excited to now offer Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) services in the
East Kootenays. HDD offers solutions for the growing need for infrastructure development and utility
installations and is well suited for fibre, electrical, gas and water installations, even in tight spaces.
Directional drilling minimizes surface disturbance and environmental impact by boring underground and
creating tunnels for these utility installations and also repairs.

What does an HDD drill do?

HDD is a machine specifically designed for horizontal drilling instead of drilling straight down, like
traditional drills or excavating long, deep trenches. It is capable of boring horizontally and at various
angles, allowing for the installation and repairs of underground utilities in a more precise and controlled
manner, even in tight spaces!

Why is HDD so awesome?

The key difference between HDD and traditional drilling and excavating methods is the ability to
eliminate the need for open trenches. This method also eliminates extensive digging, resulting in
disruption to the surrounding area, increased labour costs and longer project times. The HDD process is
much less invasive, therefore saving costs for both contractors and clients.

Water Drainage

Our team has the knowledge and experience to handle any water drainage issues you may be experiencing. After first preforming an examination to determine the source of the issue, we will recommend a comprehensive solution that will not only effectively solve the drainage problem at hand but also prevent future drainage issues from occurring by installing a system to keep potential water accumulation away from your home.

Hydro-Excavation

Hydro Excavation Services: A Smarter Way to Dig

Less damage. Less stress. More precision.

Excavation doesn’t have to mean torn-up lawns, broken landscaping, or weeks of disruption.
Mytan Contracting uses modern hydro excavation methods to complete underground work with greater accuracy, less mess, and less impact on your property.

What Is Hydro Excavation?

Hydro excavation (often called hydrovac excavation) uses pressurized water to break up soil, which is then removed using a powerful vacuum system.

Instead of tearing through the ground with heavy mechanical equipment, hydro excavation allows us to carefully and precisely remove soil only where needed.

This method is widely used for:

  • Exposing underground utilities
  • Water line repairs and replacements
  • Drainage work
  • Sensitive or tight-access areas

Why Homeowners Prefer Hydro Excavation

1. Less Damage to Your Property

Traditional excavation often requires wide trenches, heavy equipment, and unnecessary disruption to lawns, driveways, and landscaping.

Hydro excavation:

  • Removes only the soil required
  • Preserves surrounding ground
  • Reduces the need for restoration and repairs afterward

The result: less mess, less cost, and less stress.

2. Safer Around Underground Utilities

Striking a buried utility can cause major delays, safety risks, and unexpected costs.

Hydro excavation is non-destructive, making it ideal for safely exposing:

  • Water lines
  • Sewer lines
  • Electrical and gas utilities

The controlled process significantly reduces the risk of accidental damage.

3. Faster, More Efficient Work

Because hydro excavation is precise:

  • Less digging is required
  • Repairs can be completed sooner
  • Cleanup is faster

That means your project moves forward with fewer delays and less disruption to your day-to-day life.

4. Ideal for Confined or Sensitive Areas

Hydro excavation equipment allows work to be done:

  • In tight spaces
  • Near structures or foundations
  • Under landscaping, decks, or walkways

This flexibility is not possible with traditional excavation methods.

5. Works Year-Round – Even in Winter

Frozen ground doesn’t stop emergencies or planned projects.

Mytan Contracting’s hydro excavation uses heated water, allowing us to cut through frozen soil safely and effectively during cold conditions. This makes hydro excavation a reliable solution year-round in the East Kootenays.
