Sewer and Storm Drain Locating
Utility locating services include sewer and storm drain line locating. We can trace sewer lines from 3" and up.
Sewer Location Limitations
_____Sewer and storm drains are only traceable up to 100 feet from acceptable access points and where the pipes are large enough to accommodate transmitter and the bends, breaks or blockages in the pipe do not restrict ability of transmitter to travel down the pipe.
_____Though Utility Mole is thorough and competent in locating utilities, Utility Mole does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of utility locates in congested areas, where utilities are deep, where utilities are damaged, where utilities do not have an approved tracer device, plastic pipes, concrete pipes, and/or pipes considered to be poor conductors for any reasons. In these areas soft digging/hand digging is required.
_____In the event that an unmarked utility is discovered during excavation, the excavation contractor must immediately stop excavation and contact Blue Stakes and follow protocol to verify who the owner of the buried utility is. Consult with all utilities to determine the owner and type of utility discovered. If utility companies do not claim the discovered line consult with a private locator to determine what the discovered utility is and if it is still active. Never assume that the buried utility is abandoned; and never continue excavation without verification of the utility type and who is the owner of the utility.
_____Depths where given are only estimates. Visual verification via hand dig, soft excavation /potholing is required where depth of buried utilities is required.
