Where does the sewer line actually run? How deep is it? In many properties nobody knows, and records are missing or wrong. Pipe locating uses a camera transmitter and surface receivers to trace a buried pipe, find its depth and mark it. We map the path so repairs target the right spot, fences and trees avoid the pipe, and any digging is safer. It is an essential companion to camera inspections.
We send a transmitter through the pipe with the camera, track the signal along the surface and mark the route and depth with paint or flags. For complex sites we sketch the layout and note connections, bends and cleanouts. We also help you understand which lines belong to you and which to the utility, and we encourage you to use the state one-call service before any digging.
