Information that shortens the first conversation

Our first exchange fills in the picture of your site. The more of the following a request includes, the quicker that goes.

Location

The street address, or the nearest intersection for work in a street, and whether the work is on private property, in a public right-of-way or both.

The line

Water, sanitary sewer, storm, power conduit or something else, and whether it is a repair, a replacement, a new connection or an extension.

Ownership

Who owns the line, if known: a public utility, a business, an association or a homeowner.

The surface

Lawn, driveway, sidewalk, parking lot, road or landscaping, and anything above the line you want protected.

Records

Plans, inspection videos, earlier repair invoices, a permit or a letter from the utility.

Timing and access

When the work must happen and any limits on access or shutoffs.

With that, we can recommend a trench, a directional bore, hydro excavation or a combination, and say what we need from you.
