The paint lines and flags mark the approximate location of buried utilities. 

Taking precautions before installing the new fibre cable is vital. Before we begin digging, we hire a company to locate and mark where existing utility infrastructure lies. We also return to mark your actual property once it’s time to connect the fibre to your home. The paint helps us ensure we are drilling and installing the new conduit safely away from utilities. 

The paint is water based; therefore, it dissolves after a few weeks. Following some rainfall or cutting of the grass, there should be no trace. Flags will be removed by the construction technicians once the work is completed. 

The most likely inconvenience is the installation of a small flush-to-the-ground ‘flower pot’ to house a temporary conduit connection. This flower pot will be removed once the new conduit is connected and buried to the home.

If your home has a conduit already in place, and is usable, we will simply pull the fibre through. We will restore any impact to your property once the work is complete and the weather permits. If your grass has been disturbed, we will clean the area and plant grass seed.
