UNDERGROUND UTILITY SERVICES
INSTALLATION, NEW CUSTOMER HOOK-UP & REPAIR
What Are Underground Utilities?
Underground utilities include underground resources and equipment like pipes and wires used to transport water, natural gas, telecommunications, and electricity to homes, businesses, and public buildings.
There are nearly two million miles of underground utilities in the United States, which equals over one hundred miles of underground line for every person in our entire country. (pipespy.com)

Pipe Laying & Finishing
We install, connect, and repair pipes for these underground utilities:

Water Main & Water Service Line Expansion & Repairs
Residential water service begins at the city or county water main (a.k.a. main water line), which is usually located in the street, through water service lines (a.k.a. water supply lines) that bring the water onto your property and connect to your water meter.
From there, water distribution lines (pipes) distribute water from the water meter to various locations on your property - like your water heater, shower, sinks, toilets, and even outside spigots.
We help residential, commercial, and municipal customers with issues involving the water main and water service lines like:
- New Customer Hook-up
- Water System Expansion
- Water Service Repairs
Sewer Main & Sewer Service Lines Expansion & Repairs
Sanitary Sewers, Storm Sewers, and Lateral Sewers
Similar to the way water service is provided to your property, but in reverse. Sewage from your sinks, showers, and toilets flow into sewage distribution lines which carry wastewater into sewer service lines. The sewer service lines carry sewage into the main sewer line (which is buried in the street) which delivers wastewater to the water treatment facility for processing.
We help municipal, commercial, and residential customers with issues involving the sewer main and sewer service lines like:
- New Residential Customer Hook-up
- System Expansion
- Emergency Repairs
