Underground Utility Contractor in Wake Forest, NC

Wake Forest is incorporated as a town, mainly in Wake County with a part in a neighboring county. It has an estimated 56,764 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 20 square miles of land.

Moving from a private system to a public one

Properties that were built with a private water well or an on-site wastewater system sometimes connect to public water or sewer when it becomes available. The underground work for such a change has its own steps, and the public system's owner sets most of the rules.

Typically:

• the system owner confirms that a connection is available, where it is, and its requirements for the service or lateral, the meter or tap and the inspections;
• the route from the connection point to the building is planned, with crossings of drives or roads drilled where an open cut is not wanted;
• existing utilities along the route are located through NC811 and exposed with hydro excavation where the new line crosses them;
• the new line is installed and inspected, and the building's plumbing is connected by whoever the owner engages for that part;
• the old well or on-site system is dealt with as the owner and the authorities require.

We also take on other work in Wake Forest, from lateral repairs to new commercial services, for homeowners, businesses and public owners.
