Small commercial buildings

Small commercial buildings, such as a dental office, a daycare, a shop or a small restaurant, have the same kinds of underground lines as larger ones, at a smaller scale: a water service, a sanitary lateral, storm drainage for the roof and the lot, and conduit for the electrical service and the sign. For their owners, the main concerns are usually cost, disruption and timing.

Keeping disruption down on a small commercial site:

• the line and the problem are located precisely before digging, with a camera inspection or a leak investigation where that helps;
• existing lines are exposed with hydro excavation, which also keeps the excavation small;
• crossings of the parking lot or the entrance drive can be drilled so customers can still park and enter;
• the work is scheduled outside opening hours where practical;
• pavement and striping are restored to the owner's standard.

Tenants should check with the landlord who is responsible for which lines before requesting work.

We also work for homeowners and public owners in Apple Valley.
