Line Locating
Sewer Line Locating in Howard Lake & West Metro
Sewer line locating finds where your buried sewer line runs and where a problem is along it. It's needed when you have a known problem in the line, before a repair or replacement, or when you simply don't know where the pipe goes. Locating keeps digging to a minimum and repairs targeted.

FAQ
Line Locating FAQs
How do you locate a buried sewer line?
We typically run a camera with a locating transmitter through the line and track it from above ground. That shows both the route and where problems are.
Is sewer line locating the same as calling Gopher State One Call?
No. Gopher State One Call marks public utilities before you dig. Private sewer lines on your property usually are not marked, which is where our locating service helps.
Do I need locating before a sewer repair?
In most cases, yes. Knowing exactly where the problem is means less digging, less disruption, and a more targeted repair.
