I've seen telco repairmen after someone digs up a cable. They set up a 
little tent because they're going to be there for a while.

I worked for a general contractor for a few months. The telephone 
company's motto was 'Call before you dig!' His was 'Keep digging. We'll 
call if we hit a cable.' I learned a lot in those months about sleazy 
practices in home construction.
