Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Dig811Guide (dig811guide.pages.dev), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.

Nature of This Website

Dig811Guide is an independent informational website. We provide general educational content about the 811 Call Before You Dig process in the United States. We are not affiliated with 811.com, the Common Ground Alliance, any state one-call center, any utility company, or any government agency.

Informational Purpose Only

All content on this site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice, engineering advice, professional safety advice, or a substitute for consultation with qualified professionals.

811 rules, state one-call laws, waiting periods, and utility locate requirements change over time. We strive to keep our content current but cannot guarantee that every piece of information is up to date at the time you read it. Always verify current requirements with your state's one-call center before beginning any excavation.

No Liability for Excavation Decisions

Dig811Guide expressly disclaims all liability for any injury, property damage, utility damage, fines, penalties, or other losses arising from excavation decisions made in reliance on information from this website. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable one-call laws, obtaining proper permits, and taking all necessary safety precautions before and during any excavation.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of content on this site, but we make no warranties — express or implied — regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any particular purpose of any content. State wait times, re-notify windows, portal links, and utility contact information are subject to change without notice.

Interactive Tools

The wait time calculator and other interactive tools on this site are provided as general guidance aids only. Calculation results are estimates based on published state one-call law data. Actual legal dig dates depend on your specific ticket submission time, your one-call center's processing, and applicable state law. Do not rely solely on any tool on this site to determine when you are legally authorized to dig.

This site contains links to third-party websites, including state one-call center portals. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party site. Use third-party sites at your own risk.
