Protect your property with professional underground utility locating for homeowners and businesses.
Public locators typically mark utilities in public rights-of-way but may not locate private lines running across your property. Before excavation, it’s important to understand what utilities may be present below the surface.
Public locating services often stop at property lines. Private utilities such as irrigation, septic, power, and communication lines may not be marked without a private locate.
Private locating helps identify both conductive and nonconductive utilities on your property to support safer planning before digging.
Water, sewer, and electrical lines often run beneath private property. Identifying these
utilities before excavation helps reduce the risk of damage and unexpected costs.
We help locate private water supply and irrigation lines using a combination of locating methods appropriate for site conditions.
Private sewer and septic connections can be identified and marked to support safer excavation and project planning.
Private power, communication, and fiber lines may be present on your property and are often not marked by public locating services.
Our technicians use a combination of locating technologies and field experience to investigate both conductive and nonconductive utilities. We select methods based on site conditions to provide the most complete understanding possible before excavation.
GPR can help identify subsurface features, utilities, and anomalies by analyzing reflected signals beneath the surface. Performance varies based on soil conditions, depth, and material.
Electromagnetic locating is used to trace conductive utilities such as power, telecom, and metal piping and to provide alignment and depth estimates.
Specialized equipment used to help identify nonconductive utilities and changes in subsurface density where traditional locating methods have limits.
Acoustic locating is used to help identify pressurized water systems and other utilities by detecting sound patterns within the pipe. It is particularly useful for tracing water lines and confirming flow paths in the field.
Striking a utility line can lead to costly repairs, delays, and potential liability. Private locating helps reduce that risk before excavation begins.
Contact with underground utilities can create serious safety hazards. Identifying utilities in advance supports safer planning for crews and property.
Renovation, landscaping, and construction projects benefit from understanding what utilities may be present below the surface.

Private utility locating is the process of identifying and marking underground utilities on private property. Public locators typically mark utilities that run along streets and public easements. On private property, a professional locator can help identify utilities that may be present before digging begins.
Public locating services are generally responsible for utilities they own or maintain within public rights-of-way. Private utilities on your property are typically the property owner’s responsibility. Hiring a private locator helps provide additional information about utilities that may not be marked through public locating services.
Pricing varies based on property size, site conditions, and project complexity. We provide clear quotes before work begins and can discuss your project to determine an appropriate scope.
Residential locates often take one to three hours depending on property size and utility density. Larger or more complex sites may require additional time. We’ll provide an estimated timeframe when scheduling.
Yes. We use advanced locating technologies—including ground penetrating radar and specialized equipment such as the All Materials Locator—to help identify non-conductive utilities like plastic, PVC, and fiber lines. These tools significantly improve the ability to locate utilities that traditional methods often miss. Results can vary based on site conditions, depth, and available access points, but our multi-method approach is designed to provide the most complete information possible before digging.
