Utility Damage Investigations, Inc.
Every year thousands of utilities
are damaged for a variety
of reasons. This can include
mis-marked utilities, un-marked
utilities and damaged utilities
due to unsafe exposure. When
a utility is damaged, the utility
companies and the contract
locating companies employ
damage investigators whose sole
responsibility it is to investigate
utility damages.
These professional investigators
investigate numerous utility
damages everyday, and more often
than not will be the person on
site talking to the representative
from your company.
Knowing how to respond to their
questions can determine the
outcome of any utility damage and
determine who should pay for
the repair costs and down time.
Many times the investigator will
attempt to place the financial
responsibility for the damage on
the excavation company. In most
cases the excavator is unaware
of who is being held responsible
for the damage until they receive
an invoice for the damaged utility
from the utility company. It is at
this time that many excavators
realize they need to mount a
defense against the claim.
