Private utility locating — what public 811 locates may not show

One-call (811) programs coordinate public utility marking. On private property, underground utility locating and private utility locating services still reduce strike risk: accredited Arcbound Logic maps gas, electric, fiber, and water runs with CSDA GPR-certified ground penetrating radar utility locating, field paint or flags, and clear deliverables.

Residential & rural property

Dedicated GPR pages

Other common private-side work we still handle from this page: outbuilding power feeders and landscape drainage tracing — ask when you book so we scope antennas and time correctly.

Commercial & industrial

What to share for an accurate quote

Same factors we use across GPR work: surface material (concrete, asphalt, soil conditions), how deep we need to image for your goal (utilities often near 3–5 ft; tanks and structures can be deeper), and your preferred deliverable — field markings, GPS-tagged PDF, or both. Our scan scoping checklist walks through how we plan field time.

Deliverables

Field markings tied to a professional, date-stamped PDF report with GPS-tagged locations — suitable for project files, GC coordination, and insurance documentation. COI, limits, and how we document finds are spelled out on our master GPR service page.

Starting rates

Many small-lot and residential prep projects align with our $450 starting scan package (up to two hours, marking, basic PDF). Larger campuses and multi-zone jobs are quoted to scope. See the full pricing table.

FAQ

Should I still call 811?
Yes — we complement public locates; we focus on private and site-specific runs they do not mark.
Can you work around an active site?
We schedule evening and weekend windows when needed — book via the services hub.
