Which utilities can you locate on private property?

We locate water, gas, electrical, and telecom service lines and we can trace conduits and sewer routes by using a camera sonde when available.

Do you mark utilities on site?

Yes. We place surface markings that show utility type and path. When conditions allow we also provide depth estimates to help plan safe digging.

What is included in the deliverables?

You receive on site markings and a simple sketch or map. Upon request we can provide a more detailed layout with utility type, path, and depth estimates for your records or for a contractor.

Do I still need to request a public locate ticket?

Yes. You must request a public locate from the provincial service to cover utility owner assets. Our service covers private side utilities that public locates do not mark.

How accurate are the depth estimates?

Depth estimates depend on signal quality, surface conditions, and access. We state estimated accuracy ranges and any site limitations in the notes.

What equipment do you use?

We use professional locating transmitters and receivers and when helpful we use a camera sonde to trace non conductive pipes such as drains and conduits.

Can you map utilities for permit or design work?

Yes. We can produce a clear plan view map of located utilities with annotations that support planning, tendering, and light design tasks.

What areas do you cover?

We serve Greater Montreal including the South Shore, West Island, Monteregie, and Vaudreuil Soulanges and we can accommodate other regions of southern Quebec upon request.
