811 is the national service that was established to by the U.S. Federal Communications Comission in March 10, 2005 to serve as the primary number for location services for underground public utilities in the United States.

How to Avoid Utility Lines When Digging

Whether you’re a homeowner or a sign installer, it’s essential to call 811 before any substantial dig. Why 811? This service helps you identify public utility lines at or near your dig site, preventing potential hazards and costly repairs. It’s often called the “one-call” service, as it’s the one call to make before breaking ground.

According to TN 811’s guidelines: “Damage to underground utility lines can cause far-reaching consequences, from serious injury to the loss of vital services. Preventing damage to these facilities is a responsibility shared by all stakeholders, achieved through damage prevention measures.”

At Ortwein Sign, we prioritize this step by calling 811 to assess every dig site and verify the location of utility lines. With our comprehensive code searches, sign permits, and electrical checks, we ensure your sign installation process is smooth and worry-free.
