What happens here
The crew, Tim and Blaine (Dirt Monkey Force), focuses on identifying the exact property lines and utility locations. They look for property stakes, noting their general vicinity. They also confirm the locations of gas, electric, and water lines to avoid them during excavation. The property owner mentions concerns about differing survey results, with one indicating the property easement might cut through part of their house.
Goal: Precisely locate property boundaries and underground utilities to prevent damage and disputes.
