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 will 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.

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, bare in mind we live in a fast-paced world, and everyone wants their projects completed promptly. However, allowing time for marking is essential. Some contractors seek to gain an advantage by saying they can start a digging project without marking. That is a violation of The District of Columbia's law.
