Underground Utility Contractor in Asheville, NC

Asheville is the largest city in Buncombe County, with an estimated 94,992 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 45 square miles of land.

When the site is hard to reach

Some properties are simply hard to get equipment onto: a narrow or steep driveway, a house set below the street, a lot hemmed in by walls or neighboring buildings. Underground work on such a site is still possible, but the method has to suit the access.

Options that help:

Digging from the street

A hydro excavation truck can stay on the street and reach the dig with its hose, exposing a line without driving onto the lot.

Smaller openings

With the line and the problem located precisely, the excavation can be no larger than the repair needs, which smaller equipment or hand work can handle.

Drilling instead of trenching

Where a long trench would be hard to dig or restore, a directional bore can carry a new line between two pits placed where the rig can reach.

We will ask about access for an Asheville job: photos of the drive, the approach and the area of the work are the quickest way to show it.

We also handle water services, sewer laterals, storm connections and conduit for homeowners, businesses and public owners.

NC811

NC811 receives locate requests before excavation under North Carolina's Underground Utility Safety and Damage Prevention Act. The law sets the notice at no less than three full working days before excavation, and a ticket expires 28 calendar days after the work start date.
