What is a Private Dig Out Inspection?
An inspection of a spot intended for excavation is conducted by an experienced expert to detect any potential hazards that could be harmed through the excavation process. Your private dig out inspection is an important safety precaution that should be taken before any digging takes place. By identifying any underground utilities or other hazards, the inspection can help prevent accidents and damage to property.
Here are some reasons you might need a private dig out inspection:
- You are planning to do any major construction or landscaping work on your property.
- You are not sure what underground utilities are located on your property.
- You have received a notice from a utility company that they will be digging on your property.
- You have had a past experience with underground utility damage.

The Private Dig Out Inspection Process
A private dig out inspection typically includes the following steps:
- Gather information: Creek Engineering inspectors will first gather information about your dig out property, such as its size, shape, and location. They will also review any available plans or drawings of the property.
- Conduct a site visit: Then, our engineering team will visit your property and conduct a visual inspection of the area where digging is planned. They will look for any signs of underground utilities, such as markings on the ground, utility poles, or manholes. Specialized equipment, such as ground-penetrating radar, helps identify underground utilities.
- Report the findings: The inspector will then report their findings to the client. This report will include a detailed description of the underground utilities and any other hazards that were identified.
