Private Utility Locating in Maple Ridge

Public utility locates cover only the public-owned portion of buried infrastructure. Everything on private property — water lines from the meter, gas lines past the meter, irrigation, drainage, septic, private hydro, fibre, communication — is your responsibility to identify before excavation. Our private utility locating combines ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic locating, and where applicable sondes and tracer wires to map every detectable subsurface line. Deliverables include site marks, photo documentation and a referenced map for the project file. We do this work routinely for general contractors, electrical contractors, plumbers, landscape architects and homeowners across Greater Vancouver.

What pipe gpr typically finds in Maple Ridge

Private utility locates on large lots without reliable as-builts.

Maple Ridge's built environment — newer single-family in Silver Valley and Albion, character homes in Hammond, large rural-residential lots east of Town Centre — shapes how private utility locating is delivered locally. Maple Ridge ranges from a compact town centre to large rural-residential and acreage holdings to the east. Many east-side properties run on private wells; west-end character homes in Hammond carry pre-war plumbing realities.
