Utility Location
Maryland | Virginia | Washington DC | Pennsylvania
Utility location is the process of identifying and labeling public utility mains which are underground. These mains may include lines for telephones, electricity distribution, natural gas, cable television, fiber optics, traffic lights, street lights, storm drains, water mains, and sewage pipes. In some cases we even find major oil and gas pipelines, national defense communication lines, mass transit, rail and road tunnels underground. We use electromagnetic transmitter and receiver for metal and radio-detection and GPR for non-metal lines.
It is very important that you call us (or someone like us) before digging or excavating so we can map out the utilities. Failure to do so may result in a fine or even a criminal charge against the person or company, particularly if such negligence causes a major utility outage or serious accident, or an evacuation due to a gas leak. Hitting a water main may also trigger a boil-water advisory and local flooding.
