Underground Utility Contractor in Homestead, FL

Homestead is a city in Miami-Dade County, with an estimated 85,796 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 15 square miles of land.

Subdivision infrastructure

When a new residential subdivision is built, the underground work is a project in itself. Before streets are paved and homes go up, the site needs sanitary sewer with its manholes, a water distribution system with valves, hydrants and a service stub for every lot, storm sewer with inlets and structures, and conduit for power and communications. Each system belongs, once accepted, to a different owner, and each has its own design, materials, testing and inspection requirements.

The usual order is set by grade. Gravity systems such as sanitary and storm sewer go in first because their elevations cannot move. Water mains and services follow, then conduit. Crossings between systems are planned so that each keeps its required separation.

Directional drilling is often useful where a new system has to cross an existing road or a utility corridor at the edge of the site, and hydro excavation exposes existing lines at those crossings.

We work for developers, builders and general contractors on subdivision work, and for homeowners, businesses and public owners on repairs and single connections.

Sunshine 811 before excavation

Florida requires a locate request through Sunshine 811 before digging, under Chapter 556 of the Florida Statutes. The law (section 556.105) sets the notice at no less than two full business days, weekends and holidays excluded, and keeps a ticket valid for 30 calendar days. Subdivision work also follows the approvals and inspections of each utility owner.
