The state one-call center that notifies utility companies before excavation so buried lines can be marked.
Tennessee 811 describes itself as the state one-call center that connects people who plan to dig with the utility companies that own buried lines. The service helps prevent damage by getting those lines marked before excavation begins. For anyone in Nashville planning to dig for a foundation, a pool removal, a fence or a regrade, and rent a dumpster for the soil and debris, contacting the one-call center in advance is an important first step.
We are a private company and are not part of Tennessee 811. We remind customers who are excavating to contact the service ahead of time, and we help them plan a low-side container for soil and rock. Rules and timelines are set by the state and the utilities, and we encourage you to read the official site for current requirements.
