Service area: Lorain, Medina, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Summit, Portage, Ashtabula, and Trumbull Counties — with many projects in Geauga and Lake townships where long private runs are typical.
Typical reasons property owners call
- New water line, hydrant, or filtration loop that parallels an older buried supply
- Trenching for geothermal, electric service upgrades, or fiber where the historic route is unknown
- Barn, pole building, or guest house water ties that branch from the main run
- Damage investigation after a prior locate gap or undocumented repair splice
How this fits our other work
Well lines are one slice of private utility locating. The same crew, insurance posture, and PDF workflow apply. If you are also changing wastewater or grading, pair this with septic tank and leach field locating on the same visit when scope allows — ask during quoting.
Limitations (plain language)
GPR does not “see” water; it detects contrasts in the subsurface. Deep plastic, highly conductive soils, or crowded utilities can limit certainty. We tell you what the data supports, mark conservative buffers when needed, and recommend a licensed well contractor or excavator when hydro or pressure testing is the next step.
Rates and scheduling
Start from the same residential scan entry points as other GPR packages unless your corridor is unusually long or multi-zone. Review hourly vs package pricing and book via the services hub.
FAQ
- Can you find my buried well line from house to wellhead?
- Often, when depth and contrast are favorable. We document limitations and recommend next steps when data is ambiguous.
- Is this the same as a public water locate?
- No — 811 addresses notified public facilities. Private well systems are a separate body of risk we address with GPR.
- What should I send before you mobilize?
- Wellhead location, planned trench or bore path, surface type, and any maps from installation or repair.
- Do you cover Geauga and Lake County?
- Yes, along with our full nine-county Northeast Ohio service area.
