Private Utility Locating: Protect Your Property Before You Dig
In Florida, unexpected underground utilities can turn a simple excavation project into a costly disaster. Our certified private utility locating services use state-of-the-art ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic detection to map out private lines like gas lines, sewer lines, water pipes, electrical conduits, and so much more—before you break ground. Ensure safety and compliance without the hassle
What is Private Utility Locating and Why Do You Need It?
Private utility locating involves identifying underground infrastructure on private property, such as residential homes, farms, or commercial sites. Unlike public 811 services, which focus on municipal utilities like street gas or water lines, our service maps out private lines—think irrigation systems, private electrical conduits, or fiber optic cables unique to your land.
Digging without a clear map of what's below can lead to serious issues:
Service Interruptions: Hitting a line can cause power outages, water leaks, or communication disruptions.
Costly Repairs: Damaged utilities often require expensive fixes, delaying your project.
Compliance Risks: Unmarked lines may violate local codes, leading to fines or project halts.
With the rise of complex installations like smart home systems and solar panels in 2025, knowing exactly what's underground is critical. Our team uses advanced, non-invasive tools like ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic locators to deliver accurate markings, typically within a single business day.
