Questions worth answering before a quote

A good underground quote depends on a handful of facts, and gathering them first saves time for everyone.

• Who owns the line? A water main or public sewer belongs to the utility; the service line or lateral to a building usually belongs to the property owner.
• What exactly is the work? A repair at one point, a replacement of a run, a new connection or an extension.
• Where does the line run, and what does it pass under? Lawns, drives, sidewalks, streets and trees all change the plan.
• What records exist? Plans, as-built drawings, inspection videos, earlier repair receipts.
• When does the work need to happen, and are there access limits?

With those answers, we can recommend a trench, a drilled crossing, hydro excavation or a combination, and say what the job will need from the owner. We work for Mount Prospect homeowners, businesses and public owners.

One-call and right-of-way

JULIE, the Illinois one-call center, must receive a locate request before excavation. Openings in public streets, parkways or alleys follow the right-of-way owner's conditions for traffic control and pavement or turf restoration.

A request does not need to be complete to be useful. Start with the address and what you know, even if that is only a symptom such as a wet patch in the lawn or a drain that backs up. Tell us whether the Mount Prospect site is on private property, in a public right-of-way or both, since that decides which permits apply. We read each request and ask follow-up questions before proposing a method or a next step.
