It’s not known how the men, who haven’t been identified, died as no collapse was reported.
Nothing of significance was reported either, according to fire department officials.
Billy Belyeu, the Battalion Chief at Corpus Christi Fire Department, said: “We had to do some air monitoring just to make sure – to rule out any dangerous issues with the air underneath the house – which usually with a trench, that’s what you end up finding.
“But we didn’t find anything of any significance.”
A man who found the bodies received a shock from a light that was being used under the home.
Investigators are trying to determine if the workers were given a shock, KRIS-TV reports.
Belyeu said: “Right now we don’t have an exact way that they died, but we’re starting to lean towards electricity.”
Cops will be on the scene as they try to establish a cause of death.

In April 2021, Jason Villalobos, of Houston, was killed when a 10-foot-deep trench collapsed in Corpus Christi.
He was working on a fiber optic project when tragedy struck.
The shocking discovery comes just weeks after a man found a dead body underneath his girlfriend’s Pennsylvania home.
Tracey Douds, of Pennsylvania, thought a dead animal was causing the foul smell as she could never have imagined it was a rotting corpse.
She told KDKA that her boyfriend was fixing the plumbing of her mobile home on March 17 when he came across the decomposed remains.
Recalling the ordeal, Douds said: “He came out and he’s like, ‘Tracey, you’re not going to believe this.’
“I’m like what. He’s like, ‘I think there is a dead body under there.”
At first, Douds thought her partner was joking until they unearthed the bones.
The mom, who has lived at the Ohioville home for five years, has been left traumatized by the ordeal.
Douds said: “I am no Nancy Drew but I’ve been freaked out for a long time.”
