Create clear digital records of underground utilities for planning, documentation, coordination, and future site work.
Detect plastic, concrete, and other nonconductive utilities using specialized equipment and advanced locating methods.
Safely expose underground utilities to verify their exact position, depth, condition, and surrounding site conditions.
Trace buried pipes and cables accurately to reduce the risk of damage and improve excavation planning.
Oregon 811 is an important first step before excavation, but it may not identify every underground utility on your property. Private lines such as water pipes, sewer laterals, electrical feeds, irrigation systems, propane lines, and communications cables may fall outside the scope of standard public utility markings.
Private utility locating helps fill those gaps by identifying and marking buried infrastructure that Oregon 811 may not cover. This gives homeowners, contractors, property managers, and project teams a clearer understanding of what lies below the surface before digging, drilling, trenching, or beginning construction.
Hear from those we have served
Utility locating in Roseburg can often be scheduled promptly, depending on technician availability, site conditions, and the scope of the project.
Smaller residential locates may require less field time than large commercial, industrial, or multi-utility sites. Providing the property address, project type, excavation area, and expected start date helps determine the appropriate equipment and schedule.
Utility locating should be completed before digging, trenching, drilling, grading, or other ground disturbance begins. Scheduling early also provides time to review the markings and address any areas that require additional investigation.
Private utility locating can identify many buried pipes, cables, and utility systems that may not be marked through Oregon 811.
Common examples include private water lines, sewer laterals, electrical feeds, irrigation pipes, communication cables, propane lines, site lighting circuits, and utilities serving detached buildings or equipment.
The utilities that can be located depend on their material, condition, accessibility, depth, and whether tracer wire or a conductive connection is available. Multiple locating methods may be used when standard electromagnetic equipment cannot reliably trace the line.
Yes, private utility locating may still be necessary after calling Oregon 811 because the public locate request may not cover privately owned utilities.
Oregon 811 coordinates markings for participating utility operators, typically up to the point where public ownership ends. Utilities beyond a meter, serving private buildings, or installed by a property owner may remain unmarked.
A private utility locate helps identify these gaps before excavation. Using Oregon 811 and private locating together provides a more complete view of buried infrastructure within the work area.
Yes, estimated utility depth may be provided when site conditions and the locating method allow a reliable measurement.
Depth readings can support excavation planning, but they should be treated as estimates rather than exact measurements. Soil conditions, signal interference, utility material, nearby infrastructure, and the equipment used can affect depth accuracy.
Utilities may also change depth along their route. Safe excavation practices, tolerance zones, and careful exposure methods should still be followed near marked utilities.
Yes, digital utility maps can be created to document the approximate routes and locations of utilities identified during the site investigation.
A utility map can support project planning, design, permitting, maintenance, and future excavation. It also provides property owners, contractors, and facility managers with a practical record of known underground infrastructure.
The level of detail depends on the project scope and the information collected in the field. Digital mapping does not replace onsite markings or a new locate before future excavation, since site conditions and underground infrastructure may change.
