North Carolina in our service area

North Carolina is one of the states we serve. Jobs are planned at our headquarters, and planning starts with the same short conversation for every site: where it is, what is buried there, what needs to change and who owns the line.

Water, sewer and storm systems in North Carolina are owned by a mix of cities, counties and authorities, and service lines on private property usually belong to the property owner. Settling early who owns the line tells everyone whose specification applies.

From request to restored surface

  • We review the location and the utility and ask for any drawings.
  • Existing utilities are located and marked through NC811 before digging.
  • The trench is opened, or bore pits are set for directional drilling.
  • Pipe, conduit or cable is installed, or the damaged section is repaired.
  • The excavation is backfilled and the surface restored to the owner's standard.

Who we work for

We work for municipal water and sewer utilities, developers of residential and commercial sites, industrial facilities with process lines and pits, and private owners with service lines that have failed.
