Underground Utility Contractor in Dearborn, MI

Dearborn is a city in Wayne County with an estimated 106,377 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 24 square miles of land.

Three sizes of job

Underground requests in a city like Dearborn tend to fall into three sizes, and each is planned a little differently.

One line at one property

A leaking water service, a sewer lateral with roots, a storm connection that no longer drains. The aim is to find the line, reach it through the smallest practical opening and restore the surface. Hydro excavation and, for crossings under drives, directional drilling keep disturbance down.

A building or a site

A new commercial building, a renovation or an industrial upgrade may need a water and fire service, sanitary and storm connections, and conduit, planned from the owner's drawings and coordinated with each utility.

A street or a system

Public owners plan main replacements, sewer rehabilitation and storm improvements to their own designs, with traffic control, service to customers maintained during the work, and full restoration.

Whatever the size, the work starts with a MISS DIG 811 locate and ends with backfill and restoration to the owner's standard. We work at all three scales.

MISS DIG 811

Michigan's Public Act 174 of 2013 requires a locate request through MISS DIG 811 before excavation. Section 460.725 of the Michigan Compiled Laws requires three business days of notice at minimum, no more than 14 calendar days ahead, and keeps a ticket valid for 21 days (180 days for long projects).

Whichever size your job is, the address, the line, a description and any drawings or photos are the right place to start. We review each request, ask for anything missing and explain the approach we recommend.
