Utility Locating Questions, Answered
What is private utility locating?
Private utility locating identifies underground utilities that are not marked by 811 services. This includes utilities on private property such as power lines, water lines, sewer lines, gas lines, irrigation systems, and communication lines.
Private locating is often required before excavation, trenching, fencing, or construction begins on commercial or residential property.
Is this the same as calling 811?
No.
811 services typically mark public utilities up to the meter. They do not locate private utilities beyond the meter or on private property.
True Precision provides private utility locating using EM and GPR technology to detect underground utilities that 811 does not cover.
What is the difference between EM and GPR?
Electromagnetic (EM) locating is used to detect conductive utilities such as electric, gas, and communication lines.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is used to detect non-conductive utilities such as PVC water lines, sewer lines, and unknown underground objects.
In many cases, both technologies are used together to provide the most accurate results.
Are you certified?
Yes.
True Precision Utility Locating is officially certified through the National Utility Locating Contractors Association (NULCA). NULCA certification reflects our commitment to industry standards, safety practices, and professional underground utility detection.
Our team follows best practices for accuracy, documentation, and responsible locating on every project.
What do the colored utility markings mean?
Utility locating color codes follow the American Public Works Association (APWA) industry standards:
Red – Electric
Yellow – Gas
Orange – Communications
Blue – Water
Green – Sewer
Purple – Reclaimed Water
These markings identify underground utilities before excavation begins.
When should I schedule utility locating?
Utility locating should be scheduled before:
Excavation or trenching
Site development
Installing fencing or posts
Grading or foundation work
Directional boring
Any ground disturbance
Knowing what is below the surface helps save lives, prevent costly damages, and delays.
How long does a private utility locate take?
Project time depends on property size, site conditions, and scope of work. Small residential projects may take a few hours, while larger commercial sites may require additional time.
We will provide an estimated timeframe once project details are reviewed.
