Before you or someone you hire start digging — for a landscape project, a building project or for any other reason — call 811, a new "Call Before You Dig" number that will connect you to the North Carolina One Call Center (NC One Call).
North Carolina state law requires you to notify your utilities at least 48 hours (two working days) in advance before starting an excavation project, but all you have to do is make one call to NC One Call.
At no charge, NC One Call will notify all utilities, including PSNC Energy. We will then send a PSNC Energy representative to mark our company's underground natural gas lines so you or your contractor can be sure to avoid them.
Projects that warrant NC One Call notification include the installation of:
- Septic tanks and sewer lines
- Swimming pools
- Wells
- Sprinkler systems and water lines
- Basketball goal posts or mailbox posts
- Fences and deck posts
- Trees and shrubs
Remember, calling before you dig doesn’t cost a thing, but not calling could result in property damage or serious injury.
