If you are facing an underground utility issue, our team offers fast diagnostics, clear communication, and professional execution to get your infrastructure back in working order.
Underground utility repair refers to the diagnosis, repair, and replacement of buried infrastructure that conveys critical services such as wastewater, potable water, stormwater, and related utilities. These systems are typically buried below frost depth, under yards, roadways, or landscaped areas, and require precise excavation work, safety protocols, and municipal coordination.
Midwest Excavating, Inc. brings this expertise to every project, ensuring long-term performance and regulatory compliance.
Below are the primary services we offer under the umbrella of underground utilities:
Sewer lines carry wastewater away from homes and businesses. Over time, these lines can fail due to root intrusion, pipe corrosion, ground movement, or soil expansion.
Common indicators of sewer line issues include:
Our sewer services include:

Water mains deliver potable water from municipal lines or private wells to the point of use. Unlike interior plumbing, these service lines operate under pressure and require precise installation standards. Common water main problems include corrosion, freeze damage, joint separation from soil movement, and pressure loss.
Signs of water main issues often include:
Our water main services include:

Stormwater utilities carry rainwater and runoff away from structures, roads, and landscaped areas to prevent flooding, erosion, and soil saturation. When storm drains fail, water can collect around foundations, streets, and yards, leading to costly damage.
Storm drainage systems are essential for protecting property from water intrusion and structural instability.
Pump stations are critical where gravity cannot move water or wastewater. These systems are commonly used in:
Our pump station services include:
Pump stations must be designed and installed with precision to ensure reliability and prevent clogging, overflow, or mechanical failure.
Yard piping refers to the water and sewer conduits between the utility main and the structure connection points. These lines must be installed to exact specifications and protected from frost, ground movement, or external damage.
Our yard piping services include:
Proper yard piping protects your property from leaks, pressure loss, and long-term maintenance issues.
Stormwater detention systems temporarily store runoff from rain events, reducing peak discharge and protecting downstream infrastructure. These systems are often required in new developments, commercial sites, and areas with strict stormwater management regulations.
We install:
Proper design and installation of stormwater detention systems help manage water responsibly and protect against erosion and flooding.
Underground utility failures can escalate quickly. Whether it’s a broken water main, a collapsed sewer line, or a storm drainage system causing flooding, immediate action is often necessary to prevent structural damage, contamination, or further infrastructure failure. Contact our team promptly for rapid assessment and professional repair services.
While each of our services has specific technical requirements, our overall process follows strict professional standards:
We use cameras, pressure testing, and leak detection tools to identify issues precisely.
All underground utilities are located and marked to prevent accidental damage and ensure worker safety.
We provide transparent explanations of the work needed and why, along with accurate cost estimates.
Where permits are required, we work with local authorities to ensure code compliance and inspection standards are met.
Our crews perform excavation with attention to trench safety, slope, shoring, and environmental protection.
Work is completed using code-approved materials and methods appropriate for the utility type.
Proper compaction and restoration help ensure infrastructure longevity and minimize future issues.
The result is a utility repair or installation built for performance — not a temporary fix.

Each region presents unique soil conditions and infrastructure considerations, and our experience across Northern Utah allows us to adapt to local requirements efficiently.
Buried utilities include sewer, water, storm drains, stormwater detention systems, pump stations, and yard piping that runs underground and conveys critical services.
We use professional utility locating equipment to identify all buried services before excavation to prevent accidental damage.
Most utility repairs and new installations require permits. We coordinate permits and inspection scheduling with local municipalities.
Timing varies by service type — simple repairs may take a day or two, while larger installations or replacements can take several days.
If you suspect issues with sewer lines, water mains, storm drainage, pump systems, yard piping, or stormwater detention infrastructure, don’t wait for the problem to escalate.
