RECCH 0100:00:00Sewer Line Locating explained.
Most homeowners have no idea where their sewer line runs, how deep it is or where it turns. That makes every fence, patio, tree and trench a gamble.
We locate the line with an electromagnetic transmitter, called a sonde, which travels with the camera. At the surface a receiver picks up the signal, so we can paint or flag the route and read the depth. You get a marked yard and a recording of the pipe.

How accurate is locating?
It is usually good enough to plan around, but depth and position can be off by some amount. Hand-dig carefully near the marks.
Is this the same as calling 811?
No. The 811 service marks public utilities. Your private sewer lateral is usually not marked by it, so you need a private locate.
Can you locate a line with no cleanout?
Sometimes, using another access point. We confirm what is possible when you call.
