Frequently asked questions
What does Blackstone Utilities do?
Blackstone Utilities is an underground utility contractor headquartered in Huntley, Illinois, led by fiber optic installation for broadband providers and residential neighborhoods. We also build underground power, water and sewer lines, and provide hydro vacuum services, excavation and trenching, and emergency utility repair across the Midwest and Southeast.
Do you install fiber optic cable?
Yes. Fiber optic installation is our main line of work: aerial and underground construction, directional drilling, splicing, and maintenance and troubleshooting, for fiber providers, their prime contractors and residential neighborhoods. We take on a single stage of a build or the whole job, from the route to the final splice.
Which states do you serve?
We work across the Midwest and Southeast; the states are listed on our Service Areas page, and each state page covers the services offered there, the state's 811 rules and the cities with their own page. Send the site location with your request, and we will confirm the scope and scheduling.
What information do you need for a quote?
The location of the work, the service you need, a short description of the job and how to reach you. Mention any plans or dimensions in the description, and say whether the work is new or a repair. We follow up by phone or email.
What is directional drilling?
Directional drilling, also called horizontal directional drilling (HDD) or directional boring, installs pipe or conduit along a steered underground path without a continuous open trench. A rig drills a pilot bore between an entry pit and an exit pit, reams it and pulls the pipe or conduit back through, so roads, driveways and lawns stay intact.
What are hydro vacuum services?
Hydro vacuum services dig with pressurized water and a vacuum instead of a bucket: a truck-mounted unit cuts the soil while the vacuum draws the slurry into a debris tank. They expose buried utilities without damaging them, for potholing, slot trenching and daylighting, and remove the spoil.
