Underground Utility Contractor in Peoria, IL

Peoria is the largest city in Peoria County, home to an estimated 111,696 residents (2024 Census estimate), with about 48 square miles of land.

How we look at a Peoria job

Three things shape every underground project in Peoria, as anywhere else: what the line is, where it runs and how the ground can be opened.

The line

Water mains and services, gravity sewer mains and laterals, storm pipes and structures, and conduit for power each have their own materials, depths and connection details. The owner's specification governs them.

The route

A route across open ground can usually be trenched. A route beneath a road, a driveway or a steep bank may suit directional drilling instead. A route that runs alongside existing utilities may call for hydro excavation to expose them first.

The surface

Pavement, lawn, gravel or landscaping each have a restoration standard, set by whoever owns the surface. Knowing it in advance avoids surprises at the end of the job.

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

Digging in Peoria

JULIE, the one-call center for Illinois, must receive a locate request before excavation so that buried utilities can be marked. For work in public streets, the right-of-way owner sets conditions for the opening and the patch; tell us whether the site is public, private or both.

The communities around Peoria include Peoria Heights, West Peoria, Bellevue and Norwood. We serve these communities just as we serve Peoria.

When you write, include the street address or nearest intersection, the kind of line involved and any drawings or photos you have. Mention whether the site has traffic or access restrictions, because those affect the plan as much as the depth of the line does.

Note any shutoff limits, access hours or traffic restrictions that apply at the Peoria site.
