The footprint of your new project may overlap with critical systems. Do not start digging, framing, or pouring without verifying what lies beneath the footprint.
Verify that your new outdoor living space will not permanently block access to septic lids or plumbing cleanouts.
Confirm the footprint of the shed pad does not intersect with drainfields or utility lines.
Heavy vehicle traffic requires verifying what fragile systems or access points you might be burying under gravel or concrete.
Ensure that low-clearance decking does not render your home's foundation access or cleanouts unreachable.
Verify that aggressive root systems, retaining walls, and soil fills do not disrupt existing yard drainage.
Check the path trajectory against known irrigation valves, drainage grates, and utility access boxes.
