Apartment communities and their lines
Apartment communities usually own the underground lines between the public systems and their buildings: water mains and hydrants inside the property, sanitary sewer from each building, storm sewer under parking areas and drives, and conduit for lighting. A failure in one of those lines can affect many households at once.
When a community asks for work, the planning focuses on residents as much as on pipe:
- Water shutoffs are announced in advance and kept as short as practical, with temporary arrangements considered for longer jobs.
- Parking and drives are kept usable by phasing the work and drilling crossings where trenching would block access.
- Private lines are traced from the community's records and confirmed by hydro excavation, since the one-call process may not mark them.
- Restoration of pavement, curbs and landscaping follows the owner's standard.
Storm structures and lines under parking lots can also be cleaned with a vacuum truck, which often reveals whether repairs are needed.
We also work for homeowners, businesses and public owners in Westland.
