The electric company was no help because they didn't bury the lines up to the house

. Dig safe will find utility lines (gas, elect) etc.for free but underground service lines from transformer pad to residence is customers responsibility. Electric company won't do it, unless you know someone then they might swing out and map it for you. There are companies that will meter the ground to map out underground electrical lines. some electricians do have meters capable of detecting underground feeders. but they are pricey so most electricians can't justify the purchase. If lost then try an electrical supply house ask if they know of anyone that can map for you they will help

eavery locality in the US has a service that will do this for you. Usually there is an 800 number to call. Usually there is no charge for this service. Look in your local phone book under "utility locate"
or, go online and search for "utility locate and your area or town.
