We place hundreds of miles of fiber, coax and conduit every year for our communities to support the ever growing need of infrastructure development and communications demands.

Our experienced technicians have vast knowledge in wiring, internal cabling, fiber splicing, coax splicing, DAS installations, small cell upgrades and more.

We’re consistently adding to our ISP teams to support the growing demand of this field.

Private Utility Locating

Private Utility Locating is essential to construction projects involving underground digging or excavation work. Universal Services recognizes the importance of identifying where your private utilities are within your property to allow for safe excavation as well as preventing loss of a service. Universal employs a team of experts that solely focus on private locating to ensure safety and timely installation.

Vacuum (Hydro) Excavation

We provide excavation services in the safest and most efficient way possible: Hydro Excavation with our custom Hydrovac trucks. 

Hard Surface Restoration

With concrete, nothing contributes more to the overall quality and longevity of the concrete than the subgrade / base preparation. 

Soft Surface Restoration

Our technicians are trained to provide complete and thorough restoration while minimizing disruption and cost.
