Why Pipe Location?
If you are planning on replacing part of your sewer line, or adding an addition to your house, then pipe locating is extremely important and will save you money and possibly a big mess. Pipe locators allow us to pinpoint the exact location of the issue in your sewer line without having to excavate a large area.
A good example is if you have a low area in your sewer drain that holds water. This low area may cause a backup in your house. We will run our camera to the spot then use our locator to mark the exact location and the depth of the pipe.
Pipe Locators
What is a pipe locator?
A pipe locator is a special device designed to locate buried pipes underground.
In many regions, burying plumbing underground for water and gas along with conduits for electrical lines, cable, and so forth is extremely popular.
There are several reasons for burying plumbing pipes, ranging from less risk of storm damage to a desire to create a clean and uncluttered look in a yard. However, the main problem with burying pipes is that over time, they can be difficult to find again.
Pipe locators can also be used to map out underground utilities/plumbing in a yard or area for general reference. Someone moving into a new home might want to know the approximate location of buried pipes, as this information could be useful to have when problems develop or when yard work is being performed.
It takes some skill to operate a pipe locator properly, especially locators that have a number of different functions.
We provide pipe location services. If you need your pipes located because they are leaking or have a project that demands you know where the pipes are located, give us a call today.
How does a pipe locator work
Pipe locators in their basic form are two parts, a transmitter, and a receiver. The transmitter is used to induce a signal onto a pipe or cable and then the wand, or receiver, is used to locate the signal that the line is producing.
When service needs to be performed on a buried pipe, a locator can be used to find the pipe, which will minimize the amount of digging that may be needed to track it down. Pipe locators are also great for identifying potential hazards before any type of digging occurs, ensuring that pipes and utility lines are not accidentally severed during digging.
