The Underground Detective locates private utilities using state-of-the-art equipment for all pre-excavation and site planning needs. The state one-call (811) only marks public utilities, those which are before the service meter. Any utility beyond the service meter is usually considered private, which will require a second call to The Underground Detective. Although The Underground Detective is not a licensed civil engineer or surveyor, we can map the utility locations with sub-meter accuracy and provide GPS coordinates with a shapefile and a Google Earth overlay. This valuable information can be used in your Auto CADD project, but our mapping work is to give our clients a basic overview of the project they are engaging in and help assess what to expect when designing, updating, or performing preliminary site work.
