Call 811.
811 is the
national call-before-you-dig phone number
. Anyone who plans to dig should call 811 or go to their state 811 center's
website before digging to request that the approximate location of buried utilities be marked with paint or flags so that you don't
unintentionally dig into an underground utility line.
Consult with your local building permit office and obtain any required building permits and formal information related to
required footing depth and diameter for your locality.
