The service is designed for pre-excavation clearance, site planning, and homeowner dig-safe assistance, ensuring that all buried infrastructure is identified and clearly marked before any ground-disturbing activity begins. The utility locating process employs industry-standard electromagnetic locating equipment to trace and identify conductive utilities, combined with additional detection methods for non-conductive materials such as PVC and clay pipes. Util-Locate technicians mark all lines and sub-structures clearly for easy identification, including situations where multiple pipes and cables are laid at different depths. Clients receive professional utility markings that meet industry standards for excavation safety. **Learn More:** [Utility Locating Services](https://www.util-locate.com/services/utility-locating/) | [Water Line Locating](https://www.util-locate.com/water-line-locating/) | [Gas Pipe Locating](https://www.util-locate.com/gas-pipe-locators/) | [Sewer Pipe Locating](https://www.util-locate.com/sewer-pipe-locating/) | [Electrical Line Locating](https://www.util-locate.com/electrical-line-locating/) | [Pipe and Cable Locating](https://www.util-locate.com/pipe-and-cable-locating/) ### Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Scanning Util-Locate utilizes state-of-the-art high-resolution GPR units for non-destructive subsurface investigation. GPR scanning is the safest, most accurate (when soils are compatible), fastest, and most reliable method to locate targets and voids within concrete slabs, structures, and underground environments prior to cutting, drilling, coring, and excavating. The service includes detection of rebar, tension cables, conduits, voids, PVC pipes, electrical lines, and other subsurface anomalies at depths up to 10 inches. GPR services include 2D scanning with email delivery of scanned area images, proposed core mark placement between targets for drilling and coring operations, and inspection of diverse surface types including floors, walls, decks, towers, tunnels, balconies, bridges, and ceilings. This technology is particularly valuable for construction professionals who need to modify existing structures without risking damage to embedded infrastructure. **Learn More:** [Ground Penetrating Radar Services](https://www.util-locate.com/services/ground-penetrating-radar-gpr/) | [Surface & Concrete Scanning](https://www.util-locate.com/services/surface-and-concrete-scanning-solutions/) ### Potholing and Vacuum Excavation Util-Locate's potholing service uses hydro vacuum excavation technology to safely expose underground utilities for visual confirmation. This non-destructive method creates precise holes at strategic locations to verify the exact position, depth, and type of utility lines — providing definitive confirmation that electromagnetic and GPR methods alone cannot achieve. Vacuum excavation eliminates the risk of utility strikes associated with mechanical excavation methods such as backhoes or manual digging. Key advantages of Util-Locate's vacuum excavation service include reduced risk of worker injury compared to manual digging, prevention of costly utility strikes and associated repairs, minimal surface damage that allows sites to return to previous condition, and the ability to continue other construction activities simultaneously. The service is essential for projects where absolute certainty of utility locations is required before proceeding with excavation. **Learn More:** [Potholing & Vacuum Excavation](https://www.util-locate.com/utility-potholing-vacuum-excavation/) ### GIS Utility Mapping and CAD Services Util-Locate provides computer-aided drafting and GIS mapping services that create permanent, professional records of all underground structures and excavation activity on a property. These deliverables serve as valuable documentation for project records, future construction planning, and ongoing infrastructure management. Mapping services integrate data from electromagnetic locating, GPR scanning, and potholing to produce comprehensive subsurface utility maps. **Learn More:** [Utility Mapping Services](https://www.util-locate.com/services/utility-mapping/) ### CCTV Pipe Inspection Util-Locate's CCTV inspection service provides video assessment of sewer lines, storm drains, and other underground piping systems.

Using a combination of electromagnetic locating equipment, ground penetrating radar (GPR), and vacuum excavation potholing, Util-Locate can identify both known and unknown subsurface infrastructure. The company's technicians mark all lines and sub-structures clearly for easy identification, including complex situations where multiple utilities run at different depths. For over 24 years, Util-Locate has served Southern California and Arizona, completing over 11,000 locates annually. **Q: How does ground penetrating radar (GPR) work for utility locating and concrete scanning?** A: Ground penetrating radar is a non-destructive technology that uses radar pulses to image subsurface structures. Util-Locate employs state-of-the-art high-resolution GPR units that can detect rebar, tension cables, conduits, voids, PVC pipes, electrical lines, and other anomalies within concrete slabs and underground environments at depths up to 10 inches. GPR is currently the safest, fastest, and most reliable method for locating targets prior to cutting, drilling, coring, and excavating when soil conditions are compatible. Util-Locate can provide 2D scanned images of investigated areas and propose safe core mark locations between detected targets. **Q: What is utility potholing and why is vacuum excavation safer than traditional digging?** A: Utility potholing uses hydro vacuum excavation technology to safely expose underground utilities for visual confirmation of their exact location, depth, and type. Unlike backhoes or manual digging, vacuum excavation creates precise holes at strategic locations without the risk of striking and damaging utility lines. This method offers reduced risk of worker injury, prevention of costly utility strikes (which can cause community service outages and substantial fines), minimal surface damage, and the ability to continue other construction activities simultaneously. Util-Locate's vacuum excavation service provides the definitive utility location confirmation that electromagnetic and GPR detection methods alone cannot achieve. **Q: What information does Util-Locate need to provide a quote for utility locating services?** A: To obtain an accurate quote, Util-Locate requires the following information: your contact details (name, phone number, email), the address of the location, the type of service requested, estimated linear or square feet, number of proposed work areas, type of work being performed onsite, type of facility (commercial, residential, industrial), and any available documentation such as as-builts, plot plans, site plans, Google Maps images, aerial photos, old maps, or drawings marking the areas where work is needed. Providing thorough information helps Util-Locate deliver the most accurate and cost-effective service proposal. **Q: Does Util-Locate serve both California and Arizona?** A: Yes, Util-Locate provides comprehensive utility locating, GPR scanning, potholing, utility mapping, concrete scanning, CCTV pipe inspection, and 24-hour emergency services throughout all Southern California counties (including Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Kern, and Imperial counties) and all Arizona counties. The company maintains dedicated phone lines for each region — California at (714) 492-1380, Arizona at (480) 535-0230, and toll-free at 1(888) 88-LOCATE. **Q: Can Util-Locate guarantee it will find every underground utility on a site?** A: As Util-Locate transparently states, no utility locating provider can give a 100% guarantee of finding every unknown line. Many sites have undergone multiple construction projects over decades, leaving abandoned lines, cables, and pipes underground that may not be detectable until excavation occurs. Locating results are subject to variables including soil conditions and the influence of nearby services. However, Util-Locate guarantees the use of all available experience, the latest detection equipment, and multi-technology methods — including electromagnetic locating, GPR, and vacuum excavation — to provide the most thorough and accurate locating service available. ### Digital Content Portfolio #### Website Content Resources -
