Twin City Locating provides affordable, trusted private utility locating backed by decades of utility locating and excavation experience.

As a local owner/operator, I take pride in helping homeowners, contractors, property managers, and businesses identify underground utilities before digging, trenching, fencing, landscaping, repairs, or construction.

✔️ Why hire a professional for private utility locating?

• Prevent costly damage to water, power, gas, sewer, communication, and other underground lines
• Improve jobsite safety before excavation begins
• Reduce downtime from unexpected utility hits or service interruptions
• Help protect nearby utilities from accidental damage
• Get a clearer picture of what may be underground before you dig

811 is an important first step, but it only marks public utilities up to the meter or service point off of the main. Many lines on private property may not be marked by 811, including private water lines and well lines, sewer laterals or septic systems, electrical runs, irrigation, outbuildings, propane lines, and other buried utilities.

That’s where Twin City Locating can help.

Whether you’re planning a project, troubleshooting a utility issue, or just want peace of mind before digging, contact Twin City Locating for professional private utility locating from a local, experienced locator, who is here to help you with your site specific project needs.

Sometimes we don't know what is on our properties!

This customer didn't remember having an easement for a drainage cut through the middle of his property, until Twin City Locating came to locate the entire property with the latest ground penetrating radar system and electromagnetic locator for his private power lines.

Found that his drain pipes connected to this main drainage system, before being discharged off site. He wanted to hook water back up in the shop, so not only finding the drainage lines, but located the private power, his water line, and his sewer lateral.

So before you;
Go digging ⛏️
Plan your site 🤔
Punch into the ground 🥊

🚧 Planning to dig, trench, or do work near your home?

A lot of people assume 811 covers everything underground, **but they do not.** Private utilities can still be unmarked, as publicly owned 811 lines stop at the meter or off the main line.

That can include things like:
• water lines
• power lines
• sewer laterals
• well lines
• septic
• irrigation
• communication lines
• other private buried utilities

Twin City Locating helps locate private underground utilities using GPR and EM locating before projects like fencing, drainage, trenching, repairs, and excavation.

If you have a project coming up and want to reduce or eliminate the chance of hitting something underground, send a message with your location and what you’re trying to find.
