Draper Water & Sewer Line Specialists
Draper is the deepest-burial city we work in. Under city water standards, water lines go a minimum of 48 inches below grade under 5,200 feet of elevation, and 60 inches at or above 5,200 feet because of increased frost risk on the benches.
Culinary water in Draper comes from either Draper City Water or WaterPro, the utility that grew out of Draper Irrigation Company, depending on your address. Sanitary sewer belongs to Jordan Basin Improvement District. Most of the city's housing is 1990s through 2010s, including the large bench estates and the SunCrest area up on the mountain, and the terrain is the defining factor: rocky ground, steep slopes, and the deeper burial standard above 5,200 feet. A five-foot trench in rock on a grade is a different job from a three-foot trench in a flat lawn, and it is priced and scheduled differently. Encroachment, grading and land disturbance permits go through the Draper City Engineering Division.

Draper work goes deep and it goes into rock, sometimes on a slope. That combination is where most general plumbers stop and where our equipment starts. We know the 48-inch and 60-inch burial standards by elevation and we build the trench to them.
We are not plumbers. We are the excavation specialists plumbers call when the job goes underground.
Water line work is often completed same-day. Sewer lateral jobs typically take 1 to 2 days for permits and inspections.
Full permits and city coordination handled. You do not need to make a single call.
Your yard is left clean and restored. Our goal is to leave your property looking like we were never there.
Licensed, insured, and equipped with professional excavation equipment. Not a plumber with a shovel.
