Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions contractors, commercial property teams, and property owners ask most often before utility locating work begins.
What is private utility locating?
Private utility locating helps identify underground utilities on private property that may not be fully covered by standard public one-call systems.
Do I still need to call 811 first?
Yes. 811 is still an important first step. Beyond 811 Locating helps where additional clarity is needed beyond public utility scope.
What does post-811 verification mean?
It means adding another layer of underground checking after 811 markings are complete when more confidence is needed before digging.
How fast can you respond for emergency utility locating?
We offer 24/7 dispatch and aim to respond within a few hours depending on the location, scope, and urgency.
Do you offer GPR and EM locating?
Yes. We use advanced locating methods including ground penetrating radar and electromagnetic locating based on the site and service need.
What parts of the Rio Grande Valley do you serve?
