Underground Utility Contractor in Apopka, FL

Apopka is a city in Orange County, with an estimated 62,777 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 35 square miles of land.

Nurseries, yards and commercial land

Commercial land outside the densest areas often has its own mix of underground needs: irrigation and process water lines, wash-down areas with drains and pits, storm drainage for wide yards, conduit for pumps, lighting and gates, and sanitary connections for offices. Some of this belongs to the owner and some to the public utility, and much of it was installed in stages.

That calls for a careful start. Records are gathered, the one-call locate marks public facilities, and private lines are traced with the owner's help and confirmed where the new work crosses them, often by hydro excavation. From there, long open runs are usually trenched, crossings of drives and yards may be drilled, and pits and sumps can be cleaned out with a vacuum truck.

In residential neighborhoods and new subdivisions, the work is more familiar: water services, sewer laterals and connections, storm lines and conduit, reached with as little disturbance as the site allows.

We work for business owners, landowners, builders, developers, homeowners and public owners.

One-call notice

Sunshine 811 receives locate requests under Chapter 556, Florida Statutes, before excavation. Notice must be given at least two full business days ahead, without counting weekends or holidays, and the ticket is valid for 30 calendar days (section 556.105). Private lines on commercial land are usually not marked by the one-call process.

For a commercial property, a site plan or an aerial photo with the work area marked is a good start; for a home, the address and a short description.
