Notice several people saying you need to call 811, 811 will not locate powerlines from your barn to your house from your breaker box out to your front fence. They were only trace phone lines, Internet, line and main power underground line.

@@projectdiy873 It's because 811 is there to protect public utilities, not your private utilities. You have to hire a private utility locator for anything on private property.

Bunch of city people where everything is underground and on town water and gas and sewer most likely. 811 won't find the line from your propane tank to the house, and they won't find the pipe from your well to the house, and they won't find the pipe from the house to your septic tank, and they won't even look for the overhead lines because you can see them.

You are correct about the city not looking for wires in the back of your house. They already know where the utility lines are when they were first installed. That is all they are going to mark. Any work done post-original build, whether permitted or not, will not be flagged. They will go to the back if that's where the utility lines are 1st laid. Or if you're hiring a private co. to specifically check your property before a new project.

I bought a cheap one at harbor freight but it loses sound as soon as the line goes into concrete. You think a better unit would help?

It may but the concrete may pose an issue with any cheaper one. May not be able to detect through the concrete.
@chris21904
@chris21904 Год назад
811 is cheaper than any unit you can buy. It also guarantees you that you are not liable for damages as long as you dig within the guidelines, which are pretty straight forward. Don't be the guy that caused the neighbors to be without gas,coms,or power because you located yourself... Oh and I didn't mention the fines.. they are steep enough to make you call 811 for a free locate next time

Good knowledge to have but people ALWAYS call 811, the service is free and in the event of damage to a service or communication line marked in the wrong place the repairs will be free. Not all underground will be marked since not everything underground is documented but will reduce the risk considerably ….

It is important to note that in many states, calling 811 is a legal requirement before initiating any digging activities. By neglecting to make this call, you are not only violating the law yourself but also discouraging fellow homeowners from complying with this mandatory regulation.

The line he's showing in this video would not get marked on an 811 dispatch. It's the line from his house to his detached garage. In most cases, the electric company's responsibility for locating lines stops at the meter. Anything you put in to an outbuilding, lamppost, etc. is up to you to find using whichever method you can. The video is good info and should stay.

You need to RU-vid “adding a sub panel to a detached building” because yours was installed incorrectly. 1st off you needed to pull 4 conductor. 2nd, the neutrals and equipment conductors need to be terminated on separate terminal bars and isolated from one another. Also, I don’t see a grounding electrode conductor headed to the two required ground rods……all this could be better explained in-depth from watching videos on here
