Pipe Locating & Mapping in El Paso

You’re planning to dig—maybe for a new fence, patio, pool, or foundation repair. But you don’t know exactly where your sewer line runs. Guessing isn’t a good option. Hit that pipe, and you’ve got a much bigger project on your hands.
Pipe locating tells you right where your underground lines are, so you know before you begin any digging. With electronic locators and camera equipment, we trace your pipes and mark their path. There’s no digging and no surprises.
If you need a permanent record of your pipes, we can map everything out so you’ll have it for future projects.

What Is Pipe Locating?

Pipe locating lets us find your underground sewer lines without digging anything up. We use electronic locators and sewer cameras to trace the pipe. The equipment picks up a signal and shows us where the line runs and how deep it sits.

Once we get our equipment in place, we trace your line and mark it on the ground’s surface so you know exactly what’s below. You can trust our pipe locating methods. They are accurate, non-invasive, and give you what you need to get your project started safely.

How It Works

First, we access your line through a cleanout.
Next, a camera goes in with a transmitter attached. That transmitter communicates with our aboveground locator.
We then follow the signal across your yard, marking the pipe’s route as we go, using paint or flags. You’ll get reports about pipe depth at every point. If you need a map, we can make one for you.

When do you need Pipe Locating?

You should call us before:

• Digging to install a fence, pool, patio, or landscaping project
• Starting a home addition or foundation repair
• Breaking ground on commercial construction
• Buying a property and wanting to know what’s underground

811 only marks public utility lines, so private sewer and water lines on your property won’t show up on their maps. That’s where we come in with pipe locating.

The Top Benefits of Pipe Locating & Mapping

Hitting a sewer line you didn’t realize was there can turn a weekend project into an emergency situation. Our pipe locating services prevent that.
You’ll know exactly where your lines run. We can show youhow deep they are before you break ground. We help you eliminate the guesswork and surprises. No accidentally cutting into a pipe and calling for a repair.

It also saves your yard. Instead of digging exploratory holes to find the line, we trace it from above and mark the route.
And if you want a record, we’ll map it out. That will give you the documentation you need for future projects, contractors, or property records.
