UNDERGROUND UTILITIES IN WILLOW GLEN

Built for Willow Glen Properties

Willow Glen’s 1920s–1950s homes often still have overhead service drops, original galvanized water lines and clay sewer laterals. Narrow driveways, detached garages and big sycamores and oaks make boring the clean way to bring utilities in.

Common Willow Glen Projects

Overhead-to-underground conversions with 200A and 400A panel upgrades, ADU power, sewer and water, galvanized water service replacement, and EV charger conduit to detached garages.

“David had to trench through my backyard paver patio, but he was careful to minimize the damage to the patio and set aside the removed pavers in a neat stack… helped me navigate the process with PG&E.”

“David was able to start on the job immediately, pivot when we hit a large boulder underground… and dig underneath a retaining wall without damaging it. He has a deep understanding of the PG&E Greenbook.”
