Em (electromagnetic) Utility Locates
Our trained technicians use electromagnetic utility locating equipment to safely find buried pipes and cables before any digging starts. We then clearly mark the utilities on the surface so you can dig with confidence and avoid hitting water, gas, electric, sewer or telecom lines.
Geo-Referenced Utility Maps
We provide professional utility maps using GNSS satellite positioning combined with specialized mapping software. This gives you submeter-accurate digital and printed maps that clearly show the location and path of every pipe and cable we locate. The maps serve as a reliable record for project planning, permitting, future maintenance, and avoiding conflicts on any future work at the site.
Advanced Subsurface Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
We use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to locate both metallic and non-metallic underground utilities as well as other buried objects such as underground storage tanks, voids, and building foundations. This method is especially effective for finding plastic pipes, concrete structures, and unexpected items that other locating techniques may miss, giving you a more complete picture of what’s below the surface before you begin excavation.

Excavators & Ground Disturbers
Before breaking ground, it’s critical to know exactly what’s buried beneath the surface. Hitting a gas line, power cable, or water main can cause serious injuries, major project delays, and expensive repair costs. Our utility locating service gives excavators and ground disturbers accurate, reliable information so they can work safely, stay on schedule, and avoid costly damages and liability claims.
Home Owners
Planning a renovation, landscaping project, fence installation, or pool? Before you dig, it’s important to know where underground utilities are located on your property. Accidentally striking a gas line, sewer, or electrical cable can lead to dangerous situations and expensive repairs. Our locating service gives homeowners peace of mind by clearly identifying buried utilities before any digging begins.
Property Managers
Property managers are responsible for maintaining multiple sites while protecting both tenants and assets. Whether coordinating repairs, landscaping, or new installations, the risk of damaging hidden utilities is always present. Our utility locating service helps property managers reduce liability, prevent service disruptions, and ensure all ground-disturbing work is carried out safely and professionally across their properties.
