This is why you always call 811 before you dig.
We located utilities, excavated around a failing catch basin, and tracked down a damaged drainage pipe causing the issue. Once exposed, we replaced the broken section and restored proper flow.
No shortcuts. Fixed the right way — from the ground up.

If you’re seeing sinkholes, standing water, or drainage problems, don’t ignore it. It only gets worse.

From Marks on the Ground to a Job Done Right ✅

Last week we shared a reminder to always call 811 before you dig — here’s exactly why that matters.

➡️ BEFORE:
Utilities were located and marked, allowing us to safely identify the issue areas around the catch basin and drainage line.

➡️ DURING:
We excavated around the catch basin to make necessary repairs, then continued digging to expose a damaged section of pipe. Once uncovered, we replaced the failed portion with new piping to restore proper flow and prevent future issues.

➡️ AFTER:
Everything was backfilled, graded, and restored — leaving the area clean, stable, and functioning exactly how it should.

Proper planning + safe digging = long-term solutions.

If you’re dealing with drainage issues, sinkholes, or failing storm systems, give us a call. We’ll get it handled the right way from the ground up.

Before you break ground, make the call that protects everything beneath it. 📞

Calling 811 before you dig isn’t just a step in the process, it’s the foundation of doing the job right. Hidden utilities are everywhere, and one missed mark can lead to costly repairs, project delays, or even serious safety risks.

Preparation is what separates a smooth project from a stressful one. Taking a few extra minutes to plan ahead ensures your crew stays safe, your timeline stays intact, and your work stays on track.

Dig smart. Stay safe.
Call 811 before you dig.
