Whether you're building a new home, adding an addition, or need to replace aging utility systems, DeMonte Contracting provides expert utility installation services throughout Allegheny County, Westmoreland County, Butler County, Armstrong County, and Washington County. Our comprehensive approach ensures your property has reliable water, sewer, gas, and drainage systems that will serve you well for decades to come.

Water Service Line Installation

Installing a new water service line is a complex project that requires expertise, proper equipment, and coordination with your local water authority. DeMonte Contracting handles every step of the water line installation process. We begin by obtaining the necessary tap permit from your municipality or water authority. This allows us to connect to the main water line. Next, we excavate a trench from the water main to your property, maintaining the required depth below the frost line (typically 36-42 inches in Western Pennsylvania). We install high-quality HDPE or copper water service line, making the connection to the main and routing to your home. The water meter is installed in an approved location, and all connections are pressure tested before backfilling. Our team coordinates required inspections with the local plumbing inspector and water authority before completing the restoration work.

Sewer Lateral Installation

Sewer lateral installation requires precision and attention to detail to ensure proper function for years to come. The sewer line must be installed at the correct slope (typically 1/4 inch per foot) to allow gravity flow of waste water from your home to the municipal sewer main. DeMonte Contracting uses modern PVC sewer pipe that is resistant to root intrusion and corrosion. We locate the municipal sewer tap point, excavate the required trench maintaining proper depth and slope, install the sewer lateral with appropriate fittings and cleanouts, make the connection to the main sewer line, perform smoke testing or other required inspections, and restore your property. For properties in areas without municipal sewers, we also install septic system lines and connections.

Gas Line Installation for New Construction and Renovations

Natural gas provides efficient, economical heating and cooking for your home or business. Installing a new gas service line requires careful planning and strict adherence to safety codes. Our licensed gas line technicians install both underground gas service lines from the utility's main to your property and interior gas piping to your appliances. Common gas line installation projects include new home construction gas service, additions requiring new gas appliances, kitchen remodels with gas ranges and ovens, furnace and water heater upgrades, outdoor fire pits and grills, and backup generators. All gas line work is pressure tested, inspected by the local authority, and approved before we turn on gas service.

Drainage System Installation

Proper drainage is essential for protecting your home's foundation and preventing basement flooding. DeMonte Contracting installs various drainage solutions including French drains around foundations, perimeter drains for wet basements, catch basins for low-lying areas, downspout drainage systems, sump pump discharge lines, and yard drainage swales. We assess your property's drainage issues, design an effective solution, and install a system that will keep your basement dry.

Coordination with Utilities and Municipalities
