Precision underground utility detection using state-of-the-art Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic locating technology. Protect your project from costly utility strikes with accurate subsurface mapping.
Our Core Service
Underground utility locating is the foundation of safe excavation. Our certified technicians use a combination of electromagnetic detection and ground penetrating radar to identify and map all subsurface utilities, including those that traditional methods might miss.
Whether you're planning a construction project, installing new utilities, or conducting site due diligence, accurate utility locating prevents costly delays, damage claims, and safety hazards. We provide comprehensive documentation that meets the highest industry standards.

Comprehensive Detection
Our advanced equipment and trained technicians can detect virtually any underground utility, including non-metallic pipes that are often missed by traditional methods.
Potable water mains, service lines, and irrigation systems including both metallic and non-metallic pipes.
Sanitary sewer, storm drains, and septic systems. We locate both gravity-fed and force main lines.
High-pressure transmission lines, distribution mains, and service laterals including plastic gas lines.
Primary and secondary electric lines, underground feeders, and direct-buried cables at all voltage levels.
Telephone cables, copper infrastructure, and communication conduits serving residential and commercial properties.
Fiber optic cables and conduits for internet, cable TV, and high-speed data transmission networks.
Our GPR technology can detect unknown, abandoned, or unmapped utilities that don't appear on existing records. This is critical for brownfield sites and properties with incomplete documentation.
How It Works
A systematic approach that ensures thorough, accurate results on every project.
We review your project scope, site plans, and existing utility records to understand your specific needs and prepare for the field work.
We coordinate with Florida 811 (Sunshine State One Call) to request utility owner markings and gather available records for the project area.
Our certified technicians deploy electromagnetic locators and ground penetrating radar to identify and mark all detectable utilities on site.
We provide comprehensive documentation including utility maps, depth readings, and professional reports meeting ASCE 38 quality level standards.
