About Wattco Enterprises | Utah Excavation & Plumbing

Learn the story behind Wattco Enterprises — a family-built, woman-owned excavation and plumbing company serving Utah since 1996.

About Us

Wattco Enterprises began in 1996 as a woman-owned, Native American–owned family business built from real experience in the field. After years of unsafe work environments and unreliable leadership, Isaac and Shawnya set out to create a company where people are treated with respect, supported like family, and held to a higher standard. “Nobody eats alone” isn’t just a saying for them — it’s how they run every jobsite and every relationship.

 

Over the years, Wattco has grown into a next-generation company built to be passed down to their kids. With certifications that include Master Plumber, E100, B100, Directional Drilling, Backflow, and the Goldman Sachs graduate program, they bring skill, safety, and pride to every project. Their story is one of hard lessons, better choices, and a commitment to providing the kind of work environment Issac never had — and the kind of service homeowners and builders deserve.

Wattco began after Isaac and Shawnya saw the worst parts of construction work up close. Issac worked in conditions no one should face — buried in trenches, surrounded by unsafe practices, and dealing with unreliable pay. These experiences shaped their purpose: build a company where people are protected, respected, and treated like family. Shawny’s belief that “nobody eats alone” became the heart of their culture. From the beginning, their purpose has been to create better opportunities for their team, provide dependable service to clients, and build a business strong enough to pass to the next generation.

Our Mission

Wattco’s mission is to do the work right, protect the people who trust them, and build projects that last. They focus on safe jobsites, clear communication, and dependable results. Whether they’re digging a basement, fixing a sewer line, or building out utilities for a new development, their goal stays the same — solve problems, help people move forward, and serve the community with honesty and skill
