Call before you dig!
A deck installer felt confident there wouldn’t be anything underground. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
The auger caught the electrical wires serving this septic system, pulling them apart at both ends. The result was a complete loss of power to the system, requiring excavation, removal, and replacement of the damaged wiring to get everything back up and running.
No matter how simple a project seems, proper utility locates are always worth the time. A quick call beforehand can prevent costly repairs and unnecessary downtime.
