Always Call Before You Dig

Before you start any underground construction project, remember that in most areas you are required to call your local One-Call System. The Ditch Witch organization is proud to support the national One-Call System for safer equipment operation. One-Call will notify participating utility companies of your planned digging activities. Utility companies will then mark their underground facilities using internationally recognized marking paint and flags.

If you don't call before your dig, you run the risk of having an accident or suffering injury, causing interruption of services, damaging the environment, or experiencing job delays. Additionally, you are potentially liable for any costs associated with repairing damaged lines.

All Ditch Witch equipment prominently features the One-Call logo and toll-free telephone number: (888) 258-0808.
