This section is designed to assist homeowners in understanding how to use the Survey systems available at their disposal.

Before making our first visit, we require homeowners to:

• Attain Permission from your Home Owners Association and the appropriate state Utility Service.

State and local authorities require a utility clearance to be tendered before digging a hole four feet deep and two feet wide. You must consult with homeowners' associations and local municipalities nearest you. Have a utility surveying company come out and mark utility lines at your residence. Click on your respective state below for more information. 

We can communicate with the utility company on your behalf if you choose us to install it for you. But before we can do that, we will need you to provide us with a plan of your home and your preferred installation spots (two).

Should any electrical or plumbing obstruction be found in the first spot, we have no choice but to install an in-ground basketball system in the second spot.

 If you are planning any digging project, you should call to be on the safe side. Many utilities, such as cable television lines, are buried very close to the surface. While it might not be life-threatening, you'd hate to miss the big game because you were planting begonias. There is no cost to the homeowner for our service, so you have no downside.

Virginia State Law

Just call 811 – You will be connected to 811's one-call center located in Roanoke, Va. 

A courteous professional is standing by to help you complete your ticket submission.

When should you call?

To avoid damaging underground utility lines on their property, homeowners should contact Virginia 811 at least three working days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) before beginning any digging project. You can submit a request online if you have a mobile device or computer with an internet connection. 

OR

Put those computer skills to use and submit an even more convenient online request. You can submit a locate request using 811's Single Address Ticket (SAT) application.

Hiring a Contractor?

It is the contractor's responsibility to call before digging. Be insistent on this because you are the one who will be endangered or inconvenienced if your contractor hits a utility.

Also, be understanding. We live in a fast-paced world, and everyone wants their projects completed promptly. However, allowing time for marking is just good sense. Some contractors seek to gain an advantage by saying they can start a digging project without marking. That is a violation of Virginia law.
