I am sure they deal with this for large power lines by protecting them somehow, but we have underground lines going into our house. They were chewed by gophers three times (!) before the power company agreed to protect them with “gopher pipe” (pvc pipe, I guess). One time when we were out of town, power went off, and ice melted from freezer and onto the wooden floor. Insurance company paid most of the cost of floor refinishing for the entire downstairs. This was the 3rd time it had happened (of course the power company paid nothing, to my disgust, so we were stuck with the deductible). The power co. has a policy that it has to happen 3 times before they put the gopher pipe on. Grrr… So there is a downside to buried lines, at least in your yard.
