How Homeowners Can Help Us
When we’re working on underground electrical installations near residential areas, the cooperation of homeowners is invaluable. Here’s how you can help us ensure a safe, efficient, and hassle-free process:
- Clear the Work Area: Please remove any items, decorations, or obstacles from your yard or driveway near the planned work area. Clearing the space allows our team to work safely and efficiently.
- Provide Access to the Property: Ensure that we have access to gates, driveways, or any secured areas where work will take place.
- Keep Children and Pets at a Safe Distance: Underground installations involve heavy machinery and open trenches, so keeping children and pets away from the work area keeps everyone safe.
