Builders' utility connections

For a builder, utility connections are one step in a tight schedule. A lot needs its water service, sewer connection and power conduit in place, inspected and approved before the house can be finished, and delays at that step ripple through everything after it.

What helps us plan a builder's request quickly:

• the lot addresses or numbers and the subdivision plan;
• where the water and sewer stubs are, if the developer has already installed them;
• the utility's requirements for the service size, meter location and inspection;
• where the electric utility expects the conduit to run;
• the dates when the lots will be ready for the work.

On existing lots, where the stubs are missing or a road has to be crossed, the work grows: locating existing utilities through NC811, exposing them with hydro excavation and choosing between an open cut and a directional bore for the crossing.

We also handle repairs and new connections for homeowners, businesses and public owners in Apex.

NC811

NC811 receives locate requests in North Carolina under the Underground Utility Safety and Damage Prevention Act. North Carolina law (G.S. 87-122) requires at least three full working days of notice, and a ticket ends 28 calendar days after the work start date. Include the exact address, as Apex spans a county line.
