Hydro Excavation for San Marcos sites

I-35, downtown and the university-area commercial district

Local access and priorities

San Marcos multifamily common lines, downtown businesses and I-35 facilities need inspection records tied to specific buildings. River-adjacent drainage concerns must be distinguished from sanitary sewer problems.

Define the service scope

Review utility records and markings before exposing agreed conflict points. Confirm surface restoration, spoil handling and work-zone restrictions with the contractor rather than assuming a clear excavation path.

Prepare your quote request

Send utility plans, marked conflict locations, required exposure depths and the excavation or construction schedule. Share the building map, recurring-backup locations and tenant access windows; identify whether the complaint affects sanitary sewer or storm drainage.

Most San Marcos jobs are scheduled within one to three business days, with emergency mobilization for active backups.
