Frequently Asked Questions
A leach field, or septic drain field, is a network of
underground pipes that disperses wastewater from a septic
tank. The soil filters the water naturally as it seeps
through.
We identify and mark the location of underground utility
lines—water, gas, electricity, sewer, telecom—to prevent
damage during digging or construction.
It's essential to avoid damaging buried lines. Striking one
could cause power outages, service disruptions, injuries, or
legal penalties.
Most markings last 10 to 30 days, depending on weather and
surface type. Re-marking is needed if work is delayed or
interrupted.
Stop work immediately. Call 911 if there's danger (e.g., gas
leak) and contact the utility provider. You may be responsible
for damages.
