Complete Underground Utility Services in Airdrie & Area
Whether you're running a new water service to a home in Airdrie, connecting a commercial building to municipal sewer, or installing utility conduits across an acreage in Rocky View County, Airdrie Excavation Pros has the equipment and expertise to do it right. We handle installation and repair of all underground utility types — water, sewer, gas, and electrical conduit.
Working underground carries real risk when there are existing buried services nearby. We take that seriously. Every underground utility job starts with Alberta One-Call locates, and we use hydro excavation to safely expose existing utilities before digging alongside them. No shortcuts. No damaged lines.

When to Choose Directional Drilling
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) installs underground pipes and conduits without open-cut trenching. It's the right choice when crossing under roads, driveways, landscaping, waterways, or when surface disturbance needs to be minimized. We use HDD for utility crossings that would otherwise require costly pavement restoration or disruptive trenching through established yards.
Hydro Excavation: The Safe Way to Dig Near Live Utilities
Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water to loosen soil, which is then extracted by a powerful vacuum. It's the safest and most precise excavation method available — no risk of striking a buried gas line with a steel bucket. We use hydro excavation for potholing (confirming utility depth and location), working around live services, and sensitive excavation in tight spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions — Underground Utility
We install and repair water lines, sewer laterals, gas lines (with licensed gas fitters), and electrical conduits. We also offer directional drilling, hydro jetting, vacuum excavation, CCTV pipe inspection, pipe bursting and slip-lining.
Hydro excavation uses pressurized water to break up soil, which is then removed by vacuum. It's the safest method for exposing buried utilities without risk of damage — essential when working near live gas, electrical or water lines.
Yes — new acreage development often requires connection to rural water co-ops or installation of private utilities. We handle all excavation, trenching and pipe installation for new utility connections on rural properties in Rocky View and Mountain View Counties.
Yes — we work alongside utility providers and municipalities for service connections. We also coordinate Alberta One-Call locates before any underground work begins.
In Airdrie, water service lines are typically buried below the frost line — at least 2.1 metres deep. Sewer laterals vary by grade requirements and connection depth at the municipal main. We confirm exact depths during the site assessment.
