Homeowners associations and common areas

In neighborhoods managed by an association, the underground lines are divided among several owners. The public utility owns the mains; the association may own storm pipes, ponds, irrigation and lighting conduit in the common areas; and each homeowner owns the services on their lot. Knowing who owns what decides who can request the work and who approves it.

When work touches an association neighborhood:

Ownership

The plat, the association's documents and the utility's records show which lines belong to whom.

Approval

The association may need to approve work in common areas or changes visible from the street, and may set working hours.

Access

Gates, narrow streets and parking rules affect where equipment can stand.

Restoration

Landscaping, entrances and amenities are restored to the association's standard.

For a homeowner's own service line, the work follows the usual steps: a South Carolina 811 locate, exposure of nearby lines with hydro excavation, repair or replacement by trench or by directional drilling beneath a drive, and restoration.

We also work for businesses and public owners in Mount Pleasant.

Notice before excavation

South Carolina 811 receives locate requests under the Underground Facility Damage Prevention Act, S.C. Code Title 58, Chapter 36. The law sets the notice at no less than three and no more than twelve full working days, and a ticket expires 15 working days after the commencement date.

Associations can include the area involved, the plat and the manager's contact; homeowners, the address and photos. Where an association must approve the work, it helps to ask for that approval while the plan is still being prepared. We follow up with questions before proposing an approach.
