Underground Utility Contractor in Pensacola, FL

One team, first call to restoration

Every call and quote request, from any of the states we serve, goes to the same team at our headquarters, which plans, schedules and dispatches the work. For a Pensacola job, that means one point of contact from the first call through restoration.

The work itself

Whatever the location, the underground work follows the same steps:

• Locate the existing lines through Sunshine 811 and the owner's records, and expose them with hydro excavation where the work comes close.
• Excavate a trench or set pits for a directional bore, depending on what the route passes beneath.
• Install new pipe or conduit, or repair the damaged section of an existing line, and test as the specification requires.
• Backfill, compact and restore the surface to its owner's standard.

We handle water services and mains, sewer laterals and mains, storm lines and power conduit alike.

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

One-call notice

Sunshine 811 receives locate requests under Chapter 556, Florida Statutes, before excavation. Florida law requires at least two full business days of notice before digging, weekends and holidays excluded, and a ticket lasts 30 calendar days (section 556.105).

Pensacola and nearby communities

Gulf Breeze and Milton are the nearest incorporated communities. We serve them just as we serve Pensacola.

A complete first request helps us plan: the address, the kind of line, the work, any drawings or photos, and the dates the work would need to happen.

Tell us whether the Pensacola site is on private property, in a public right-of-way or both, since that decides which permits apply.

We reply with our questions and explain what we can offer.
