Keep yourself and your family safe while digging. From deck building to tree planting, when it comes to digging in your backyard with anything from an excavator to a shovel, make one phone call first to save time, money and potentially lives.
Contact BC One Call before you dig. Gas lines, electrical wires and a network of buried facilities are at risk of being damaged during any type of excavation. BC One Call is a free service where you can request the location of underground facilities. Anyone who plans to dig can reach BC One Call at: 1-800-474-6886 or dial *6886 from a cell phone.
It is costly and dangerous to damage the many underground service lines buried in your backyard and surrounding areas. Additional details around digging safely can be found on our website or check out the BC Common Ground Alliance site at: www.commongroundbc.ca.
