They were amazing - so professional and incredibly fast - 48 hours from our initial conversation to completion! The photos include the broken sewer pipe that they replaced and the new one, as well as the pavers they removed and replaced - all in less than a day. I live in CO and my mom (whose house had the damaged sewer pipe) is in WA. I was helping her from across the country and truly relying on the expertise of UUE to take care of everything. Dziyana is a wizard! She made things happen I didn’t even know were feasible, took my call while at home, and did everything and more to make sure the project ran smoothly, all of my and my mom’s questions were answered, and the work was completed beautifully. She went far above and beyond! The whole team made a project that felt very daunting, instead, very easy - and were able to do it in a way that made everyone involved feel calm and confident. I give UUE my strongest recommendation!!

Expert Underground Electric Line Installation in Seattle, WA
Underground electric line installation replaces overhead wiring with buried conduit and cable routed directly to your property. Underground UE handles the full scope of work: site assessment, trenching, conduit placement, and connection to Seattle City Light infrastructure. Seattle properties present real excavation challenges. Clay-heavy soil retains water and resists digging, and certain city zones carry underground ordinance requirements that make buried service the only approved option for new connections. Multi-unit developments of four or more units are now required by Seattle City Light to be served by underground infrastructure. Our crews call 811 before every dig to locate existing utilities and follow Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections standards throughout. Whether you are adding a new service connection, upgrading capacity for EV charging or heat pump loads, or replacing aging direct-buried cable, Underground UE manages the work from first trench to final inspection. Call us to schedule a site review for your Seattle property.

Underground Electric Line Installation FAQ
Common questions about underground electric line installation in Seattle, WA.
Some Seattle properties are in designated underground ordinance areas where buried service is required regardless of what currently exists. A site review will confirm which rules apply to your address.
The property owner is responsible for providing and installing conduit from the meter riser to the Seattle City Light connection point at the property line. Underground UE handles this customer-side scope of work.
Yes. Seattle City Light now requires developments with four or more units to connect via underground infrastructure, and Underground UE installs the conduit and service runs that meet those requirements.
Clay soil in Seattle holds moisture and is denser than sandy ground, which affects how trenching is approached. Our crews account for local soil conditions during every dig.
We contact the Utilities Underground Location Center at 811 before any excavation to have existing underground utilities located and marked. This is required by Washington state law.
Underground service can be sized to carry the additional load that EV chargers and heat pumps require. We assess your property's current capacity before any work begins.
