Trenching in Waterloo
Clean, accurate trenching for water, sewer, drainage, and electrical runs across Waterloo.
Trenching looks simple until a line gets hit. Utility and drainage trenches need consistent depth, proper slope, and absolute care around existing gas, hydro, and water services.
What's included
- Water and sewer lateral trenches
- Weeping tile and foundation drainage trenches
- Electrical and low-voltage conduit runs
- Downspout and sump discharge lines
- Backfill, compaction, and surface restoration
Our process
- Site assessment — we walk the property, confirm access, and review your grading or foundation plan.
- Locates — we work from current Ontario One Call locates before any blade touches ground.
- Excavation — we dig to spec with the right-sized machine for your lot's access.
- Grade & hand-off — we leave a clean, accurate base ready for the next trade.

How deep should a water line trench be?
