Underground Utility Contractor in Edina, MN

Edina is a city in Hennepin County, with an estimated 53,564 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 15 square miles of land.

Home renovations and their utility needs

A major home renovation or a rebuild often changes what a house needs underground. A larger kitchen and more bathrooms may need a bigger water service; a basement remodel may need a lower or relocated sewer connection; new paving may need storm drainage; an electrical upgrade or an electric vehicle charger may need new conduit from the utility's equipment.

Planning the underground part alongside the renovation helps:

Timing

Utility work is easiest before new driveways, patios and landscaping go in.

Requirements

The water and sewer providers and the electric utility each set their own conditions; we will ask which apply.

Route

New lines can follow the old route or a better one, trenched across lawn or drilled beneath finished surfaces.

The old lines

Abandoned or removed as the owner and the utilities require.

Existing lines are located through Gopher State One Call and exposed with hydro excavation before the new work begins.

We also work for businesses and public owners in Edina.

Gopher State One Call

Under Minnesota Statutes chapter 216D, Gopher State One Call must receive a locate request before excavation. Notice must be given at least 48 hours ahead, without the day of notice, weekends or holidays, and at most 14 calendar days ahead, and the ticket lasts 14 calendar days (section 216D.04).

Around Edina

Hopkins, Richfield, St. Louis Park, Bloomington, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie are near Edina. We work in those cities as well.

If the work is part of a renovation, include the architect's or the builder's contact and the schedule.

Mention the pipe or conduit size and material if you know them; they shape the method and the equipment for the Edina work.
