Residential Utility Installation Minneapolis & St. Paul

Residential Utility Installation

As construction progresses on a residential unit, utility installation is a necessary step in the process to connect the unit to the city’s utility systems. There are two types of utility installations, wet utilities and dry utilities.

Wet Utility Installation includes

• Sewer lines
• Storm drain and water system
• Water mainline

Dry Utility Installation Includes

• Gas lines
• Telephone lines
• Natural gas
• Fiber optics

Utility installation is not as simple as digging trenches into soil and connecting pipes. Before installing utility lines, you need a detailed understanding of the type of soil, where to dig, how far to go, and where the connection will take place. It is a complex process that requires precision and careful planning so that the job can be done safely and efficiently, and in a way that does not interfere with the rest of the construction process. Most importantly it is not a job that can be done by anyone. Utility installation requires proper permits, licensing, experience, and compliance with local and federal safety standards.
