Underground Utility Contractor in Dayton, OH

Dayton is the largest city in Montgomery County, with an estimated 136,346 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 56 square miles of land. Part of the city extends into a neighboring county.

Restoring vacant buildings to use

When a building that has stood empty is brought back into use, its underground utilities usually need attention before anything else. Water services may have been shut off at the curb for a long time; sewer laterals may be blocked or broken; storm drains may be clogged; electrical services may need upgrading.

A sensible order of work:

Assess

Check each service: whether it is still connected, what it is made of, and whether the utility will accept it for the new use. A camera inspection of the sewer and an OUPS locate are usually part of this.

Decide

With the owner and the utilities, decide which services can be reused, which must be replaced, and which old connections must be abandoned.

Build

Install the new services, with hydro excavation to expose neighboring lines, trenches or drilled crossings as the site allows, and inspection by each utility.

Clean up

Clear storm structures and drains with a vacuum truck, and restore the surfaces.

Notice before digging

Under Ohio Revised Code 3781.25 to 3781.38, OUPS must receive a locate request before excavation. Ohio law (ORC 3781.28) requires at least two working days of notice, not counting the day of notice, and digging must start within 16 calendar days; the law sets no fixed ticket life. Because Dayton spans a county line, include the exact address.
