Search private utility locating companies
Start with a location, then compare where each company is based, where it normally serves, and where it may travel. Narrow by service, method, and deliverable once results are on screen.
Contact 811 before excavation as required. If customer-owned or site utilities remain, a private utility locator may be the next step. Understand 811 and private lines
811 and private lines
The public one-call process and private locating have different responsibilities. An 811 request does not mean every privately owned facility on a property has been marked.
Notifies participating facility operators so they can respond under the rules that apply where excavation will occur.
Investigates customer-owned or site-specific systems that may fall outside participating operators’ marking responsibilities.
Compare confirmed capabilities
Private utility locating is the parent service: finding the customer-owned lines an 811 response leaves unmarked. Providers combine detection, scanning, mapping, engineering, and physical verification methods based on the utility, material, access, and deliverable required.

From search to provider contact
The directory favors factual fit and transparent coverage over vague “near you” claims.
Enter a broad location, needed service, and residential, commercial, or industrial project type.
Review confirmed services, project fit, listing status, and the difference between based in, serves, and travels to.
Contact one company directly or submit a clearly consented quote request without sharing more than the job requires.
