From Field Marks to Digital Assets

We don't just mark the ground; we provide georeferenced utility maps that serve as a permanent digital record for your project’s lifecycle.

Adhering to the ASCE 38-02 Standard

We provide Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) data across all four quality levels to ensure your project meets the highest industry safety standards.

LEVEL D (Records)

Historical Review: We gather and analyze existing as-built drawings, utility owner records, and public documents to identify potential conflicts early.

Pedestal for Fiber Optic Cable located in South Florida

LEVEL B (Designating)

OUR CORE SPECIALTY: Utilizing GPR and EM induction to confirm the horizontal position and alignment of all subsurface utilities.

GPR Scanning for Level B Utility Designating Pompano Beach

LEVEL A (Daylighting)

Positive Verification: Providing precise vertical and horizontal data (x, y, z coordinates) via non-destructive Vacuum Excavation (Potholing).

LEVEL C (Surface)

Field Verification: Surveying visible surface features—such as manholes, valve boxes, and pedestals—to correlate and verify utility records.

Level A SUE Data safely verified with soft digging

Why use US Utility Potholing for Locating?

GPR South Florida

GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar)

Non-destructive subsurface imaging to locate PVC, fiber optics, and concrete-encased duct banks.

Metallic Pipe Locating in South Florida

Air-Vacuum Excavation

Safe, non-destructive 'potholing' to provide 100% positive visual verification of utility depth.

Underground utility mapping with sub cm  GPS

KMZ & CAD Mapping

Georeferenced digital overlays (KMZ/CAD) for project planning and permanent site records.

Electromagnetic Induction

Precision tracing of metallic lines and live power using high-frequency signal induction.

Utility Verification with safe soft dig excavation

Private Utility Locating & Potholing Services

Precision GPR scanning and safe air excavation for contractors, developers, and municipalities across Florida. We find—and verify—what 811 misses.

  • Locates private lines that 811 does not mark—including electric, water, and gas beyond the meter.

  • Non-destructive vacuum excavation to safely expose underground utilities for positive visual identification.

  • High-frequency Ground Penetrating Radar technology to visualize subsurface obstructions before you dig.

  • Same-day and 24/7 emergency service available. Licensed & insured in Florida.
