Excavation and Underground Utilities

Any project involving digging, a French drain, a utility connection, a foundation repair, carries real risk if utility locates and permits aren’t handled correctly, and our excavation team manages both as standard practice on every job.

What’s included

Excavation Consultation to scope your project before digging begins. Utility-Tap Coordination and Right-of-Way Coordination for projects connecting to municipal utilities. Excavation Permit Coordination and Excavation Inspection Coordination for the permitting process. French-Drain Excavation for drainage-focused projects.

How this works

Every excavation job on our schedule starts with an Ohio 811 (OUPS) utility locate call before any digging, no exceptions, since striking an underground utility line is a serious safety and liability risk. Permit and inspection requirements are confirmed for your specific municipality as part of the excavation consultation.
