Frequently asked questions
What is a private utility locator?
A private utility locator identifies underground utility lines that public utility services may not mark, such as lines on private property, inside buildings, or between private structures.
What types of utility lines can you locate?
We can locate power lines, gas lines, water lines, drainage systems, fire suppression loops, and more—whether inside buildings or across outdoor areas. Our expertise in a wide range of utility types makes us the authoritative choice for your locating needs.
Why should I hire Legacy Locating instead of relying solely on public locators?
Public utility companies often mark up to the meter or property line, while private utility locators handle everything beyond those points, such as power to sheds, gas lines to outdoor grills, or irrigation systems. Our experience enables us to locate lines with precision, giving you authoritative information to prevent costly errors.
Do you offer services for residential homeowners?
Yes, we provide locating services for homeowners, including marking lines for landscaping projects, fence installations, and pool construction. Our trustworthy reputation in the community ensures that homeowners feel confident in their projects.
