Underground Utility Contractor in Cary, NC

Cary is incorporated as a town, mainly in Wake County with a part in a neighboring county. It has an estimated 182,659 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 61 square miles of land.

Irrigation, lighting and other private lines

Well-kept residential and commercial properties often have more underground lines than their owners remember: irrigation mains and zone lines, landscape lighting wires, low-voltage cables for gates and cameras, private storm pipes from downspouts, and sometimes abandoned services. Most of these are private, shallow and not marked by the one-call process, so they are easy to damage when other work is done.

That is why underground work on such properties usually starts with a careful look:

• the owner or the landscape contractor points out what they know about;
• NC811 marks the public facilities;
• hydro excavation exposes lines along the planned trench or at the bore pits, so they can be protected or relocated;
• directional drilling can carry a new water service, lateral or conduit beneath landscaped areas, reducing what has to be dug up.

Restoration then covers the private systems too: irrigation repaired, lighting reconnected, beds replanted to the owner's standard.

In Cary, we take on water, sewer, storm and conduit work of every size.

Notice before digging

Under the Underground Utility Safety and Damage Prevention Act, a locate request goes to NC811 before excavation. 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 Cary spans a county line.
