Nearly every home in the U.S. is built with a variety of amenities and utilities. These include lines for telecommunication, electricity, natural gas, water mains, and wastewater piping. While some choose to have their fuel tanks and septic units above ground, this can pose problems for the homeowner. On the other hand, an underground utilities installation is very advantageous.

Underground Utilities Improves Safety

underground utilities installationBy placing all units beneath the surface, you are protecting them from a variety of threats. For example, wiring installed above ground, such as telephone poles, are commonly damaged through high winds, harsh rain, lightning, car accidents, and even animals. Though sturdily installed, there is nothing protecting it from the elements. However, transmission lines buried beneath the soil are surrounded by several feet of soil. As such, they are highly protected, providing more efficient and reliable services. Not only does an underground utilities installation protect power lines and pipes, but yourself as well. This keeps them out of reach, greatly reducing the risk of electrocution or other mishaps.

Underground Utilities Improves Aesthetics

For a business, it is important that the storefront, parking lot, landscaping, and interior are all well-maintained, organized, and clean. Cracked asphalt or a worn-down sign may potentially turn customers away, as this denotes a negative connotation. The same is true for homeowners as well. Those trying to sell their house must make it as attractive as possible to entice buyers. Those who invest in an underground utilities installation ensure their land is free of clutter, piping, exposed wiring, and sewage. All the necessities are neatly tucked away, creating an aesthetically pleasing environment for all.
