Here's What You Need to Know:
- Inspections help determine the remaining life of each pole and if treatments are needed to improve the quality of the wood.
- Intec may need to enter your yard in order to reach a pole for inspection.
- The inspection may involve testing a part of the pole under the ground which may disturb a small area around the pole.
