Frequently Asked Questions About Twin Forks Locating
What does your locating service do?
Our service specializes in the identification and marking of underground utilities and structures prior to any excavation or construction work. This proactive approach helps to prevent damage, minimize delays, and avoid costly repairs.
What types of utilities do you locate?
We locate both public and private utilities. This includes water and sewer lines, electric, gas, and oil lines, telephone and fiber optic cables, septic tanks and drainage systems, as well as irrigation and sprinkler lines.
Do I still need to call 811?
Yes, calling 811 is a legal requirement for locating public utilities. However, 811 does not mark private lines such as septic systems, private wells, or lines beyond the meter. Our service complements 811 by addressing these private utility locations.
Are your markings permanent?
No, our markings are not permanent. We utilize biodegradable marking paint and flags that naturally fade over time or can be removed after the completion of your project.
Can you provide documentation or maps of what you find?
Yes, we can provide documentation. Upon request, we offer digital maps or detailed reports that outline our findings from the utility location process.
