Private Utility Locating in Port Moody

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 Port Moody

Utility locates on tight hillside rights-of-way, concrete scanning for Inlet Centre tower work.

Port Moody's built environment — newer Klahanie and Suter Brook towers, hillside single-family, 1960s–70s residential — shapes how private utility locating is delivered locally. Compact and hilly, Port Moody combines pre-1980 hillside single-family with the dense modern Suter Brook and Klahanie tower districts at Inlet Centre. Heavy rain plus steep terrain means seepage and drainage are recurring concerns.
