Underground Utility Contractor in Arlington Heights, IL

Arlington Heights is incorporated as a village in Cook County, with an estimated 75,596 residents (2024 Census estimate) and about 17 square miles of land.

A house, a block, a business

Underground requests come in three broad sizes, and the village sees all of them.

At the scale of a single house, the work is usually a water service or a sewer lateral: a leak, a backup, a collapsed section or a replacement planned before a driveway is redone. The aim is to reach the line with the smallest disturbance that still allows a proper repair.

At the scale of a block or a street, public owners plan main replacements, valve work and storm improvements to their own specifications, often with traffic control and phased restoration.

At the scale of a business, a new tenant or an expansion may need larger water service, a separate sanitary connection, storm sewer for a lot or conduit for a new electrical feed. Hydro excavation and directional drilling help where the work has to avoid existing lines or keep pavement intact.

Before digging in Arlington Heights

A locate request goes to JULIE, the Illinois one-call center, before excavation so that buried utilities are marked. Work in a public street also needs the agreement of the right-of-way owner, including how the opening is restored. If the line runs under a driveway that is about to be replaced, saying so lets the work be timed before the new paving goes in.
