South East Texas Damage Prevention Council

Our goals are to develop a volunteer group of professional excavators, municipalities, TX DOT, utility operators, and other damage prevention stakeholders.

The 811 Process - Call Before You Dig

Notify your local one call center by calling 811 or making an online request 2-3 days before work begins. Wait the required amount of time for affected utility operators to respond to your request. Confirm that all affected utility operators have responded to your request and marked underground utilities. Respect the marks. Dig Carefully around the marks with care
