T&C Underground does great work. They were proficient, professional, and got the fiber line under my driveway without touching a single flower bed. Cleaned up after themselves and were done before lunch.
Vacuum Excavation & Potholing
Daylighting existing utilities before we touch a shovel.
Before a drill head goes in the ground near an existing utility, you daylight it. Pressurized water breaks up the soil; the vacuum truck pulls it out. Clean hole, utility exposed, no damage.
When you need vac-ex
- Confirming depth of an existing utility before a bore crosses it
- Exposing a utility for tap, repair, or splice
- Daylighting unmarked private utilities a 811 ticket won't catch
- Pothole inspections for engineering verification
Why it matters
A struck utility costs everyone: the contractor, the utility, the customers who lose service. Vac-ex turns a coin-flip into a known. We quote it as a separate line item up front when the job needs it.

What customers say.
Reviews from homeowners, developers, and ISP contractors across the 417.
Had them out for some foundation dirt work and a water line. Professional crew, kept us informed the whole time. When they were finished you could barely tell they had been here — the cleanup looked great.
We needed fiber run under the road to a new spec home. T&C had the bore done in half a day. No mess, no drama. The conduit and mule tape were exactly where we needed them for the splice crew. Will use again on the next phase.
Chris and his crew are the real deal. They pulled 811, showed up when they said they would, and bored under a long paved driveway without a single crack. Yard restoration was better than I expected.
Used T&C for vacuum excavation before a road crossing. They daylighted three utilities I didn't even know were in the path. That right there probably saved me a week of delays and a call to the gas company.
Super easy to work with. Quoted the job fast, explained exactly what they were going to do, and did it. Getting internet buried to our outbuilding seemed complicated but they made it simple.
I manage a small subdivision build outside Nixa. T&C handled all the fiber conduit for the whole phase — about 40 lots. Production was steady, paperwork was clean, and they coordinated well with the other trades on-site.
We had a water line that needed to cross under the driveway without tearing it up. They came out, gave an honest bid, did the work in one morning, and the asphalt patch on the end pits was clean. Very satisfied.
Needed skid-steer work on a small property — pad prep and backfill after a retaining wall went in. They were in and out in about four hours, charged exactly what they quoted, and the grade was perfect.
Getting a fiber drop to our rural home was a headache with every other contractor. T&C figured out the bore path, pulled the permit, did the job, and by 3pm we were done. Grass seed on the path, straw over it. Honest people.
