The Real Cost of a Utility Strike
Without having both public and private utilities identified, there is an increased risk of damage to underground infrastructure that can delay your project, blow your budget, or cause serious safety incidents.
That's not our language. That's the reality we work to prevent every day.
When an underground utility gets hit during excavation, the consequences stack up fast:
— Emergency repair costs billed to the contractor
— Project shutdown while repairs are made
— Safety incidents that put workers at risk
— Schedule penalties on tight-deadline projects
— Liability exposure that follows the project team
811 covers public utilities in the Right of Way. It doesn't cover private utilities running to your site — and those are exactly the lines most at risk during excavation.
Center Line Locating marks utilities inside and outside of the job site — including private water lines, gas services, telecom, and abandoned infrastructure that 811 doesn't cover.
We respond fast, mark accurately, and document everything so you can dig with confidence.
Don't guess. Locate. Protect.
