Service Line & Curb Stop Locating in Texas
Electromagnetic and GPR locating of service lines, curb stops and meter boxes, marked in the field.
What gets located
Water service lines from the main to the meter and toward the building, curb stops, buried or paved-over meter boxes and valves, and nearby utilities that replacement crews need to avoid.
Tools
Electromagnetic locators for conductive lines and tracer wire, and ground-penetrating radar for non-metallic pipe and features EM can't see. Findings are painted to the APWA color code.
Before you dig, bore or burst
Locating first keeps verification holes small and in the right place, and keeps directional boring and pipe bursting away from gas, power and telecom lines.

Isn't this what 811 does?
811 marks public facilities owned by its member utilities, up to their point of service. Your own water services and the private side of the line are not covered, and that's what this locating is for.
