D R Key Corporation says on its website that it takes on new construction and repairs on existing infrastructure, and that it has 45 years in business. A 2021 customer could hear water running when nothing was on; Hartford DPW found the trouble in the intake line, and that 2021 customer said DR Key Corp came quickly. In that 2021 account, Andy Key came with his team and then turned the work over to them, and a backhoe operator and his partner dug carefully, did not trash the lawn, then moved the soil back in place and tamped it down. The same 2021 customer wrote that the DPW was happy with the choice because it liked the quality of their work. A 2022 customer said they had their water back on by early afternoon, and that the company was on time and coordinated everything with Dig safe and the town of Hartford. A 2025 customer said they had used them twice.
Very professional, highly recommend.
These guys do great work we used them twice and will continue to do so if we should need them again in the future I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
D.R. Key did a great job. Had our water back on by early afternoon. They were on time and coordinated everything with Dig safe and the town of Hartford. Highly recommended !
Dec. 2, 2021.We could hear water running even when we weren't using it. We called Hartford DPW, and they assessed that it was the intake line. Because the DPW isn't free to suggest names of contractors, they were VERY happy that we chose DR Key Corp as they have a great relationship with them and like the quality of their work. We had visions of underground sinkholes, but fortunately, because they came quickly that was prevented. Great peace of mind. They coordinated their timing, got water turned off. Andy Key came with his team, then turned over the work to them. Backhoe operator and his partner worked in tandem, communicating well to dig enough, but carefully. Didn't trash our lawn. Watching a skilled backhoe operator is a pleasure. He carefully moved the pile of soil back in place and tamped it down. A little grass seed next spring and we're back in business.
