Sewer line locating is the process of identifying the exact position, depth, and path of underground sewer pipes. It’s essential for:
Using signal-emitting tools (sondes) and surface receivers, our technicians trace sewer lines accurately—without tearing up your yard or flooring.
If you’re planning to renovate your home or landscape your yard, locating your sewer lines ahead of time ensures contractors won’t accidentally hit them during construction. This is especially important for homes where no reliable plumbing records exist.
Unexpected drain issues—like frequent backups or unexplained clogs—may also signal a hidden issue deep in your sewer line. Mapping its path allows us to investigate further with video inspections, helping you avoid unnecessary digging.
And if you're switching from septic to city sewer or tying in a new addition, knowing exactly where the lines run can save time, reduce costs, and eliminate the need for multiple exploratory digs.
We begin by feeding a flexible camera with a built-in transmitter into an accessible cleanout or drain line on your property.
Above ground, we use an electronic receiver to trace the sonde’s signal, allowing us to map the exact path of your sewer line from the surface.
Our equipment also measures how deep the line is buried—critical for planning safe excavation and utility work.
Once traced, we mark the path and provide guidance on next steps if repairs or rerouting are necessary. We can also provide video footage of any internal damage or obstructions found.
Locating your sewer lines is the first step—but understanding what’s happening inside those pipes is just as important. That’s why many homeowners choose to pair our locating service with a sewer camera inspection. This powerful combo gives you both the where and the what—showing the exact layout of your system along with any blockages, cracks, roots, or buildup inside the pipe.
Our camera inspections use high-definition video equipment to explore your line from the inside, delivering real-time footage to our team and providing you with visual proof of any issues. It’s the ideal way to avoid unnecessary excavation, confirm the condition of your system, and plan smarter repairs or replacements.
