When Should You Call Utility Inspection Services?

Before initiating any subsurface work or project planning, it’s essential to contact a professional utility locator or concrete scanning expert who can accurately identify and mark underground utilities and structures within your work zone. Understanding the exact locations and approximate depths of these buried features early in the design phase allows for strategic planning to work around them safely. This crucial information ensures the precise positioning of structures, excavation areas, drilling sites, foundations, posts, signage, trees, soil borings, and other key project elements.

Utility locating professionals help project teams identify areas where utility lines must be avoided or rerouted to safeguard workers and equipment operators from potential hazards. Failing to schedule utility locating services can lead to serious consequences for your job site and business. Unforeseen disruptions may impact budgets, workflow efficiency, project timelines, company reputation, and overall safety—potentially leading to costly delays or even project cancellations.
