Professional Underground Utility Location Services in San Jose and Surrounding Areas

Why Locating Underground Utilities is Essential

Before any excavation or construction project, it is crucial to know the exact location of underground utility lines. Most utility services, such as water, gas, and electricity, run underground, both under public streets and on private property. While the Underground Service Alert (USA 811) service is invaluable for marking public utility lines, it does not locate private lines on your property.

Planning a Project? Know Where Your Private Utility Lines Are

If you are planning a major project that involves digging or relocating utility service lines, you’ll need to locate these underground utilities early in your planning phase. This is especially important if you plan to use power tools during excavation, as striking an unmarked line can lead to costly repairs or safety hazards.

Advanced Technology for Accurate Utility Detection

Different types of underground pipes require specialized detection methods:

• Metal pipes and cables are typically located using electromagnetic equipment, which includes a transmitter and receiver to trace the lines.
• Plastic, concrete, or non-metallic pipes require more advanced detection techniques such as radiolocation or ground-penetrating radar (GPR).
