Oregon 811 is an essential first step before excavation, but its markings generally cover only public utilities maintained by participating utility providers. Privately owned lines beyond the meter or service connection may not be included.
Private utility locating helps identify additional underground infrastructure such as water lines, sewer laterals, irrigation systems, electrical feeds, communication lines, and other utilities on private property.

Hear from those we have served
Utility locating in Sweet Home, Oregon can often be scheduled quickly, depending on project size, property conditions, access, and current availability.
Scheduling the locate before excavation crews or equipment arrive helps prevent unnecessary delays. Larger properties, complex utility systems, and projects requiring multiple locating methods may require additional field time, so early scheduling is recommended whenever possible.
What private utilities can be located on residential and commercial properties?
Private utility locating can identify many underground lines that may not be marked through Oregon 811, including water, sewer, electrical, communication, irrigation, gas, and other privately owned utilities.
On residential properties, this may include lines serving detached buildings, wells, septic systems, landscape features, gates, lighting, or irrigation systems. Commercial properties may contain additional electrical feeds, communication lines, private water systems, drainage infrastructure, and utilities connecting multiple buildings or facilities.
Yes, water and sewer lines can often be located even when accurate property records, utility maps, or as built drawings are unavailable.
Depending on the pipe material and site conditions, locators may use electromagnetic equipment, tracer wires, sondes, acoustic locating methods, or other specialized techniques to determine the probable route of the line. This is particularly useful on older properties where underground infrastructure may have been modified without updated documentation.
Locating can provide valuable field information about where water and sewer lines are likely to run before excavation, construction, repairs, or property improvements begin.
