Utility Installation Questions
Utility Installation FAQs
Learn more about our trenching and underground utility installation services.
How deep do water lines need to be buried?
Water lines must sit below the frost line to prevent freezing. In the Charlotte Metro region, this typically means burying lines at least 18 to 24 inches deep.
Can you install electrical or gas line trenches?
We dig trenches for electrical, gas, and communication conduit. Licensed electricians or utility companies typically handle the final connections to live services.
Will trenching damage my yard?
Trenching disturbs a narrow strip along the utility path. We backfill, compact, and restore the surface so your yard returns to a usable condition quickly.
Do you install both water and sewer lines?
Yes. We handle complete water line installation and sewer line installation for residential and commercial properties. Our trenching meets all local code requirements.
What is involved in connecting to city utilities?
We coordinate with municipal authorities to dig from your structure to the city main line. Inspections occur before backfilling to confirm proper depth and connection quality.
How do you avoid hitting existing utilities?
We contact 811 before any digging to locate buried lines. Our operators then dig carefully around marked utilities to prevent damage and service interruptions.
