OK, try this

1. It seems that most home insurance policy doesn't cover underground power line.  Sorry I was wrong in my previous post.

2. Find a qualified electrician with a line locator.  The machine costs >$1000.  Maybe some place has it for rent.  Once he locates where the power line is cut, mark it. 

4. Hire some cheap labor to dig.  Shouldn't cost that much.

5. Install the splice kit mentioned in the article to re-connect the cut cable.

I guess I would pay $200 total for everything.  Note: I'm always a cheapskate.

• 說的有道理，先查一查兩端接線的地方是不是沒接好。 -地主老頭兒- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/15/2012 postreply 18:55:05

• 明天再給centerpoint打電話，是有可能接線處接觸不良。 -melody2010- ♀ (0 bytes) () 02/15/2012 postreply 21:08:17

• 主意是好。但cheap labor去挖電線，有沒有可能被電死？還有一條線有120伏的電壓。 -melody2010- ♀ (0 bytes) () 02/15/2012 postreply 21:10:26

• 淩誌真是個熱心人。雪上加冰，今天home warranty告訴我們，因為電路壞在房子外麵，所以它不會出一分錢。這錢我們得自己全掏 -melody2010- ♀ (6217 bytes) () 02/16/2012 postreply 09:24:07
