Septic Tank Locating
Most septic tanks can be located by a signal produced by a flushed transmitter that is specifically designed for septic tank locating. Knowing the location of your septic tank is essential for performing maintenance on the tank. Homeowners should locate the septic tank so they can watch for early signs of problems with the septic system.
Water Service Line Locating
Most water service lines are non-metallic and non-traceable by traditional electronic means unless a tracer wire is additionally installed. If you do not know where your water line is and need to know, we can locate the line for you. Metallic or non-metallic, with or without a tracer wire, we’ll mark it on your property.
Acoustic Pipe Locators
An acoustic locator is used to identify and trace nonmetal water lines. The locator consists of a transonde and a receiver. The transonde is attached to the water line either at a fire hydrant, faucet or tap. The transonde sends a sound wave through the water in the pipe. Once located, the pipe’s position can be marked on the ground surface.
Radiodetection is a leading manufacturer in the design and development of cable and pipe locators, used by utility companies, to help install, protect and maintain their infrastructure networks.
