Everything we run, in one place
81 services across two sides of the business, all of it off our own trucks with our own drivers.
Hydro Excavation 17
If the job is a hole that has to open without touching what is already in it, it is on this list. Contractors, utility owners and engineers buy these, and the difference between them is mostly scope: a single test hole, a window along a run, a trench, or a line uncovered so somebody else can work on it.
Utility-Specific Exposure 11
Every utility fails differently and gets uncovered differently. A gas service, a fiber conduit, a duct bank and a water main in a wet hole are four separate jobs, and the crew that treats them as one is the crew that causes the outage.
Pipeline Work 7
Right of way work for operators and integrity contractors. The coating is as important as the steel, the dig sheet references a weld, and nothing mechanical ever touches the pipe.
Who We Work For 13
Written for the person who buys, not the person who digs: the utility program manager, the superintendent, the sub who is not allowed to open the ground, the prequalification clerk, the city engineer. Same trucks, different conversation.
Grease Trap Cleaning 9
Traps pumped completely rather than skimmed, oil collected before the container overflows, and the manifest in the file when the inspector asks for it. Restaurants, supermarkets, hotels, schools and public kitchens.
Grease Trap Installation and Repair 5
The trap itself rather than what is in it. Sizing a unit to the kitchen it has to serve, setting it, and repairing or replacing the baffles, tees and structure that stop a trap separating long before anyone notices.
FOG Compliance and Programs 11
The side an inspector and a purchasing department care about. Standing intervals set from real loading, county FOG program obligations, manifests and disposal records, and the kitchens each of those is built around.
Drainage and Storm Water 7
Storm structures and drain lines on properties that flood in August. Cleaned, inspected, repaired or replaced, and kept on a cycle that runs before the rainy season instead of during it.
How to work out which one you need
81 service names is a lot to read through when you have a specific problem. Describe the symptom instead. It is usually enough for us to name the job on the phone.
If something is buried and you need to know exactly where
A test hole at one point is potholing. A longer window along a run is daylighting. Uncovering a line so another crew can work on it is utility exposure. Same technique, different scope, and it does not matter which one you ask for.
If you are about to dig, bore or drive something
Confirm the crossings first. A bore path crosses whatever sits between entry and exit, and a spec that requires non-destructive methods near a facility is soft digging with paperwork.
If a kitchen is backing up or an inspector has been asking
A trap that has not been pumped properly and a line that keeps blocking are usually the same story rather than two separate ones. Clearing the line without fixing the trap interval means doing it again. If the problem is that nobody can find the service records, that is a compliance and documentation conversation.
If water is standing where it should not
Full basins, a restricted outlet, or a failed structure. An area that has never drained is a design question, not a cleaning.
Still unsure? Describe it in your own words and we will tell you which of these it is, including when the answer is that it is not our job.
Describe the symptom, not the service. The symptom is usually enough for us to name the job on the phone.
How to start
Something failed tonight. Somebody answers.
Struck line, blocked kitchen drain, a basin backing up in the middle of a storm. We run every day of the year, and the phone reaches a person rather than a queue. This company is first responder owned, and the emergency side of it works the way that suggests.
Tell us what the job is
Not sure which one you need? Describe the problem and we will point you at the right thing.
Two trades, one call. We own the trucks, hold the permits, and put our own people on the job.
