Sewer and Pipe Line Locating

Know exactly where your pipe runs and how deep it is before you dig, build, plant or repair.

Planning a pool, a fence, a deck or a repair? Hitting a sewer line is expensive and unpleasant. A camera with a built-in transmitter sends a signal that a locator on the surface can follow, so we can mark the route and depth of the pipe, and the exact spot of any problem found on camera.

We paint and flag the line so excavators, landscapers and contractors can see it. For repairs, locating means a small, precise excavation rather than a big dig, which saves money and protects your landscaping.

Questions

Line Locating FAQ

Is this the same as 811?

No. Tennessee811 marks public utilities. Private sewer lines are usually not marked, which is where we come in. Always call 811 before you dig.

How deep is my sewer line?

It varies, commonly 2 to 6 feet or more. We measure it for you.

Can you locate a line without a cleanout?

Often yes, by accessing the line through a toilet or another opening.

How accurate is locating?

Typically within a few inches horizontally and a few inches of depth, depending on conditions.
