DigAlert

  • Delineate the Site. It's mandatory that you outline the proposed excavation site with white paint or stakes.
  • Dial Before You Dig. It's the law. No matter what size job you plan, call before you excavate. The law provides penalties for those who do not comply.
  • Call at Least Two Working Days Before. You may call 14 days prior to excavation. But don't wait until the last minute!
  • You're responsible For Damage. If damage to underground utilities results from your digging, you may be charged the cost of repairing it - plus a fine.
  • Make only One Call. That's all it takes to have all underground lines on your site located and marked before you dig.
  • The Call Costs You Nothing. There's not charge to call the toll-free 800 number:
    1-800-227-2600.
  • Calling Saves Time. The DigAlert process helps expedite your project by eliminating any searching for underground utilities.
  • Everyone Should Call - Not Just Professionals. Calling is just as important for property owners as it is for plumbers, electricians, contractors, landscapers, swimming pool builders, or anyone else.
  • Your Permit is not Valid Without a DigAlert Number. An excavation permit doesn't mean you're free of responsibility for damage to underground utilities. Make sure you obtain an Underground Service Alert/DigAlert number by calling: 1-800-227-2600.
