Getting a quote: what affects the scope
Underground jobs that sound alike can differ a lot in scope. Two sewer lateral repairs on the same street may involve very different work. The main factors are worth knowing:
Depth
Deeper lines need wider or supported excavations and more backfill.
Length
A single repair point is a different job from replacing a whole run.
What is on top
Lawn is quicker to restore than concrete, pavers or a finished landscape; a crossing under a drive may be drilled instead.
What is around it
Gas, water, electric and telecom lines near the work have to be exposed and protected, often with hydro excavation.
Access
Whether equipment can reach the spot, or has to work from a distance.
Requirements
What the utility and the right-of-way owner require for materials, inspections and restoration.
We ask about each of these so that the scope we propose matches the site. We work for homeowners, businesses and public owners.
Notice before excavation
MISS DIG 811 receives locate requests under Public Act 174 of 2013. Section 460.725 of the Michigan Compiled Laws requires three business days of notice at minimum, no more than 14 calendar days ahead, and keeps a ticket valid for 21 days (180 days for long projects).
