What should I do about utilities before construction begins?

We highly recommend contacting your utility providers to relocate temporary lines before the start of your pool construction project. During excavation, there is a possibility of encountering various utilities and obstacles, which may include, but are not limited to:

  • Electric lines
  • Gas lines
  • Water lines
  • Sewer and septic systems
  • Irrigation lines
  • Tree roots
  • Rock formations
  • Expansive soils
  • Old pools or pool remnants
  • Retaining walls
  • Underground debris (e.g., previously buried pets, etc.) 

Should any of these utilities or obstacles be encountered during excavation, the costs associated with mitigation will be outlined in your construction agreement. It is important to note that unexpected findings can result in additional work and costs.

To avoid delays and ensure a smoother construction process, please work with your Project Manager and utility providers to ensure all lines are properly relocated or identified before excavation begins.
