The duration of a private line locating service can vary depending on the size and complexity of the property. Typically, a standard residential property may take a few hours, while larger commercial or industrial sites could take a full day or more. It’s best to contact the service provider to get a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

One Call services typically only mark public utilities up to the property line, leaving private lines (those installed after the initial build, like sprinkler systems, gas lines to pool heaters, or underground electrical lines to outbuildings) unmarked. Private line locating services fill this gap by identifying all buried utilities on the property, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of potential underground hazards.

The accuracy of private line locating services depends on the technology and methods used by the provider. Modern locating equipment, such as electromagnetic and ground-penetrating radar (GPR), can provide highly accurate results. It’s important to choose a reputable company with skilled technicians to ensure precise utility detection.

Private line locating services can detect a wide range of utilities including water, sewer, gas, electric, telecommunications, and fiber optic lines. These services ensure that all buried utilities on a property are accurately identified and marked to prevent damage during excavation.
