Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What is utility locating?

    Utility locating is the process of identifying underground services like gas, water, sewer and electrical lines to prevent damage during excavation, ensuring safety and compliance with legal requirements.

  • 2. Why is utility locating important?

    It prevents accidental strikes on buried utilities, which can cause injuries, costly repairs and service outages. Locating also ensures safe, efficient digging and helps meet local excavation regulations.

  • 3. How does ground-penetrating radar work?

    Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) sends radio waves into the ground and captures reflections from buried objects, creating subsurface images to detect pipes, voids and cables without excavation.

  • 4. When should you use utility locating services?

    Before any digging, drilling or excavation work—whether for construction, landscaping, fencing or renovations—to avoid utility damage, safety risks, legal issues and costly project delays.
