Property Easements and Right-of-Away
An easement is a legal agreement that grants Mainstream Fiber Networks the right to access a specific portion of your property, typically along the edge of your yard, near roads, or within utility corridors, for the purpose of installing, servicing, or upgrading fiber infrastructure. These easements are often established when a neighborhood or property is developed and are shared with utility companies to ensure essential services like water, electricity, and internet can be delivered to the community. Mainstream only accesses the area defined by the easement and does not enter private spaces like your home, driveway, or backyard unless permission is granted. We make every effort to minimize any disruption and restore the area once work is complete. Easements are critical to expanding and maintaining reliable high-speed internet, especially in rural and underserved areas, allowing us to connect more homes and businesses efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Mainstream Fiber Networks have permission to be on my property?
Mainstream Fiber Networks has the legal right to access the designated utility easements typically located within a strip of land running along the street, the sidewalk, the rear lot line, or between two lots. If the easement is within a fenced-in yard, crews will need your help accessing this area. If you have any questions about this or require more information, please contact (844) 752-6376.
When can I remove the utility marking flags and/or paint in my yard?
Markers and paint need to remain in place until construction of the network is complete. Flags can be removed when installation is complete. Our paint is water soluble and removes with rain.
Will Mainstream Fiber Networks restore the area in which they performed construction?
Our crews make every effort to minimize impact to properties. Once construction is complete and weather permits, Mainstream Fiber Networks will restore lawns in areas where digging occurred. If you have any issues or questions, reach out to our team at the (844) 752-6736.
