Underground Utility Contractor in Kansas City, MO

Kansas City is the largest city in Missouri, with an estimated 516,032 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 315 square miles of land. Its primary county is Jackson County, and it extends into neighboring counties, so the exact address of a site matters.

A city that spans several counties

A city of this size covers dense older neighborhoods, newer suburbs, industrial districts and open land, and its territory reaches across more than one county. For underground work, that means the same kind of job can come with different paperwork depending on where it is: which body owns the water or sewer system serving the site, who owns the road, and which approvals apply.

So a Kansas City request starts with the address, and then with the usual questions:

• Which utility serves the site, and who owns the line in question?
• What is the work: a repair, a replacement, a new connection or an extension?
• What does the route cross: lawn, drive, road, rail or a drainage feature?
• What records, drawings or inspections exist?

The work itself is the same everywhere: a Missouri 811 locate, exposure of existing lines with hydro excavation, a trench or a directional bore, installation or repair with inspection where required, and restoration of the surface to its owner's standard.

We work for homeowners, businesses, developers, industrial owners and public owners.

Missouri 811 before excavation

Missouri 811 (Missouri One Call System, Inc.) is the notification center under the Missouri Underground Facility Safety and Damage Prevention Act. Missouri law (RSMo 319.026) requires notice at least two and no more than ten working days before digging, and a ticket is valid for 21 calendar days from the start date.
