Trenches, pads and bedding for underground propane lines from the tank to the house, coordinated with your propane supplier.
Many rural and suburban homes rely on propane. The tank sits on a pad some distance from the house, and a buried line carries the gas to the meter or regulator at the wall. That line needs a straight trench, a clean bed and a route that avoids driveways and other utilities.
We prepare the pad for the tank, dig the route to the house and keep the trench open for the propane supplier or a qualified gas fitter to install and test the line. After inspection, we backfill and restore the lawn. Pipe installation, tank setting and connection stay with the supplier or the qualified contractor.
Tanks must sit at set distances from buildings, property lines and openings. Your supplier gives the layout, and we prepare the pad and route to match.
A tank on soft ground can settle and strain its connections. We compact the base and build a level pad of the size the supplier specifies.
The buried line is easy to forget until it is struck. Warning tape and a route record protect the investment and the next digger.
Tank distances from buildings, property lines and openings are set by code and the supplier. Planning the location carefully before trenching saves moving anything later.
