First, tell us: Are you a homeowner, a contractor, or someone else involved in a digging project?
*
I am a Homeowner
I am a Contractor / Landscaper
Other (e.g., business owner, real estate)
Who will be performing the digging on your property?
*
Myself or my family/friends
A hired contractor, landscaper, or service provider
Other (e.g., public utility company)
Which of these public utility lines do you know are buried on or near your property (marked by 811)?
*
Public Water Main
Public Sewer Main
Natural Gas Line
Electric Power Line
Public Cable TV / Internet Line
Public Telephone Line
None of these / Not sure
Have you already called 811 for a public utility locate for your upcoming project?
*
Yes, and I've received markings
No, but I plan to call 811 soon
No, and I don't plan to
Not applicable / No digging planned yet
Crucial Awareness Check: Did you know that calling 811 still leaves most of your underground lines completely unmarked, because over 65% of them are private and 811 legally isn’t allowed to mark anything beyond the meter?
*
No… I thought 811 covered everything
I didn’t realize 811 leaves me that exposed
Yes, and that makes me seriously concerned
Now, think about your property specifically. Which of these features or systems do you have or suspect are in your yard? (These are often NOT marked by 811)
*
Irrigation / Sprinkler System
Private Outdoor Lighting (wired)
Electric line to a Shed, Detached Garage, or Pool Equipment
Gas line to an Outdoor Grill, Pool Heater, or Fire Pit
Propane Lines / Tank
Invisible Pet Fence
Septic System (tank or drain field)
Private Well or Water Lines (e.g., for irrigation past the meter)
Sump Pump Discharge Lines
Underground Drainage Pipes (e.g., French drains, downspout extensions)
Cable/Internet/Phone lines to detached buildings
Pool or Hot Tub Plumbing/Electrical
Old, abandoned lines (e.g., old septic tanks, power lines)
Other
None of these
Crucial Awareness Check: Are you aware that you, as the homeowner, are almost always held financially and legally responsible if an unmarked private utility line is struck on your property – even if a contractor is doing the digging?
*
Yes, I was aware (and that's why I'm here!)
No, I was not aware (this is alarming!)
I'm still not sure / I thought my contractor was responsible
What type of digging project are you planning, or what work might disturb your yard?
*
Planting Trees/Shrubs or Major Landscaping
Installing/Repairing a Fence, Deck, or Patio
Building a New Structure (shed, garage, addition)
Installing/Repairing a Pool or Hot Tub
Running New Electrical/Gas/Water Lines
Repairing/Replacing Irrigation or Drainage
