Digging On Your Property

Victoria Medvedeva, Keller Williams Elite • March 20, 2025

Regardless of whether you’re planting a few shrubs or putting in some fence posts, it is important to reach out to the authorities.


Remember, if your home improvement project involves digging,  you must contact your state’s 811 center at least 3 days before breaking ground. Underground power lines, communication cables, gas lines, water lines or other utilities may lie below the surface of your property. There is no prescribed depth that you are allowed to dig before you call 811. 


You may also contact 811 online. Go to Pennsylvania One Call System (www.pa1call.org. )


The telephone number is free and service is no cost for homeowners who are digging on their own residential property. 


Just be sure to allow time for utility companies to visit the area to mark the location of the underground facilities. If you’ve hired a professional to do work on your property that includes digging, make sure that they have called 811 or made their request online before work.


Wish you all the best!
