Don't Risk Damage to Unmarked Utility Lines

Digging or installing sub-surface power feeds without professional line mapping and code-compliant conduit can cut existing utilities or create serious shock hazards. Professional trenching keeps your property safe.

Underground Electric FAQs

  • How deep must residential underground electrical conduit be buried?

    Electrical codes typically require PVC conduit to be buried at least 18 inches deep, while direct-burial cables require 24 inches of depth.

  • Will underground wiring damage my lawn or landscaping?

    Trenching requires excavating a narrow path, but we work carefully to minimize lawn disruption and backfill the trench cleanly upon completion.

  • Who contacts the utility line marking service before digging?

    We handle utility location coordination (811) before any trenching begins to ensure underground gas, water, and telecom lines are clearly marked.

  • Can I convert my existing overhead service lines to underground?

    Yes, converting from overhead to underground involves installing a new meter base and underground conduit feed running to the utility transformer.

  • What type of conduit is used for underground electrical installations?

    We utilize heavy-wall Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 rigid PVC conduit designed specifically for moisture resistance and direct earth burial.

  • Can underground electrical cables run to an outdoor shed or workshop?

    Yes, running a dedicated sub-feed from your main panel to a sub-panel in a shed or shop provides safe, reliable power for lights and heavy tools.
