Before you dig, find out what's underground. We use equipment to locate and mark buried tanks, rebar and other anomalies in addition to pipes and wires like water, electric, sewer, communication and the like. Remember, you must have private as well as public utilities marked before you dig! Call Miss Utility for public lines and Line Locators to mark the private lines.
Whether you received a high water bill because of a leak on your main service line or you are adding several inches of water to your pool everyday in the summer while the pump is running, our leak detection specialists can help find that leak, saving your lots of money in repair costs. Call to discuss what we can do for you-- before it gets worse.
Private utility locators are an important part of the construction process, providing critical information about the location of underground utility lines, including both private lines installed by property owners and public lines identified by services like Miss Utility. Without this service, construction crews would be working blind, increasing the risk of infrastructure damage.
Water leaks can cause significant damage to your home or business if left undetected. Early detection is crucial to prevent extensive harm and costly repairs. One common indicator of a potential leak is an unusually high water bill. By identifying leaks early, you can address the issue promptly.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can be used to examine both exposed and hidden surfaces. It operates by sending radar pulses through various materials, including concrete, to create detailed images of the subsurface.
This is a “no-dig” practice that enables us to assess the condition of pipelines without having to excavate.
Electrical faults can be hazardous and often lead to fires or serious injuries. A utility locator company can find electrical faults so they can be repaired before they cause any harm.
Used by many line locating companies, GPR uses radar signals to penetrate the ground. It can be used for various purposes, including utility locating. This is especially important when working near delicate pipelines or underground cables.
Smoke testing is a widely used and effective method for quickly identifying leaks in a piping system. When smoke is introduced into a pipe, it can escape through cracks or holes, revealing hidden leaks.
Slab leaks happen when water leaks from your plumbing into the concrete foundation of your house. If left undetected, these leaks can cause serious damage to your foundation, floors, and walls.
If your pool or jacuzzi constantly loses large amounts of water, it’s best to check for leaks.

Accurately locating and marking private utilities is crucial for construction companies to avoid costly damage and delays. Here’s a breakdown of public and private utility locations:

Private Utilities: Private utility location services, such as those offered by Line Locators, specialize in detecting lines not installed by public utility companies. These include gas lines for grills, electric lines for driveway lights, and any other privately installed power, water, or gas lines.
