Safe Underground Utility Excavation Done Right

FG Excavation LLC provides utility excavation services for residential and commercial properties in Wenatchee, Washington.

You need underground utility work done in Wenatchee, and that means digging near existing lines, pipes, and conduit without damaging what is already buried. Whether you are installing new electrical service, running fiber optic cable, or repairing a gas line, the excavation must be precise, coordinated, and done with full awareness of what lies beneath your property. FG Excavation LLC works with utility providers and locators in Wenatchee to keep your project safe and on schedule.

Utility excavation involves exposing underground infrastructure so it can be installed, repaired, or replaced. This requires hand digging in sensitive areas, careful trenching along marked lines, and backfilling with materials that will not settle or shift over time. The work also includes coordinating with local utility companies to verify line locations and avoid service interruptions. FG Excavation LLC follows safe digging practices and understands how Wenatchee terrain and soil conditions affect access and stability during utility work.

If you have a utility project coming up or need emergency excavation support, contact FG Excavation LLC to discuss your timeline and site requirements.

What Happens During a Utility Dig

Your utility excavation in Wenatchee begins with a site visit and coordination with local utility locators to mark existing lines. Once the area is cleared and marked, excavation equipment opens trenches to the required depth and width, with hand digging used near marked utilities to prevent accidental contact. Spoil is placed strategically to allow access and avoid interference with adjacent structures or landscaping.

After the utility line is installed or repaired, you will see clean trenches backfilled in layers, compacted to prevent settling, and graded to match the surrounding surface. The site is left clear of debris, and any temporary fencing or barriers are removed once the work is inspected and approved. Your property is returned to a stable, usable condition with minimal lasting disruption.

FG Excavation LLC uses equipment sized appropriately for the job and adjusts methods based on soil type, weather, and access constraints. Emergency utility excavation is available when a line failure or service interruption requires immediate response. The company does not perform the utility installation itself but prepares the excavation, supports the installer, and completes the backfill and restoration.

Questions You Might Have About Utility Work

Homeowners and contractors often ask about coordination, timing, and what to prepare before a utility excavation begins, so here are answers to the most common concerns.

What happens if an unmarked utility line is found during excavation?
Work stops immediately, and the utility provider is contacted to verify the line and update markings. Excavation resumes only after the area is cleared and safe to proceed.
How long does a typical utility trench take to excavate and backfill?
Most residential utility trenches in Wenatchee are excavated in a few hours, with backfill completed the same day or the next, depending on the installer's schedule and inspection requirements.
Why is hand digging sometimes required during utility excavation?
Hand digging near marked lines reduces the risk of accidental contact with existing utilities. It allows precise control in areas where mechanical equipment could cause damage.
What should I do to prepare my property before utility excavation begins?
Clear access routes, move vehicles or equipment away from the work area, and notify neighbors if heavy equipment will be operating near shared property lines. Your excavation contractor will handle the rest.
How is emergency utility excavation different from planned work?
Emergency excavation prioritizes speed and access to restore service quickly, often with less advance notice and tighter coordination. The same safety protocols apply, but the timeline is compressed.

FG Excavation LLC has worked on utility projects throughout Wenatchee and understands the coordination, terrain, and timing that make these jobs successful. If you need utility excavation for a planned installation or an urgent repair, reach out to discuss your project and schedule a site visit.
