Repairs that have to happen soon

Some underground problems can wait for a planned project; others cannot. A water service leaking into a yard, a sewer lateral backing up into a building or a broken storm pipe undermining pavement all need attention, and the first steps are the same whatever happens next.

If water is escaping, close the valve that controls the line if you know where it is and can reach it safely. If the problem may involve a public main, a gas line or electric equipment, contact the utility that owns it. Before any digging, a locate request through Sunshine 811 is required. Then call us during office hours or send the form, describing what you see and where.

We review the information, explain how we would approach the repair and agree on timing with you. Once the line is exposed, often with hydro excavation to protect services nearby, the damaged section can be assessed and repaired or replaced, and the surface restored.

Planned work

Planned projects, from a new commercial connection to a storm system rebuild, follow the usual sequence of locating, excavating or drilling, installing and restoring.

One-call notice in Florida

Sunshine 811 receives locate requests before excavation under Chapter 556, Florida Statutes. Notice must be given at least two full business days ahead, without counting weekends or holidays, and the ticket is valid for 30 calendar days (section 556.105).
