Private Utility Locating & GPR Services in Southwest Washington

Twin City Locating - SW WA solution to private locating needs 

Twin City Locating provides professional private utility locating services throughout Southwest Washington for homeowners, contractors, and municipalities.

We specialize in locating underground utilities on private property, including water lines, sewer laterals, electrical, gas, communications, and irrigation systems.

Using professional-grade locating equipment and ground penetrating radar (GPR), we help reduce the risk of utility strikes before excavation, trenching, or as construction begins. Our services are commonly used for residential projects, commercial developments, and infrastructure work where accurate utility information is critical.

Private utilities are often not marked through 811 locate requests, which typically cover public utilities only and which stop at meters. Some commercial properties end at the transformer.

Properties with outbuildings, irrigation systems, wellheads, lighting, or older infrastructure frequently contain private utilities that require professional locating.

 

We proudly serve Centralia, Chehalis, Aberdeen, Longview, Olympia, Ocean Shores, and surrounding Southwest Washington communities. Learn more about our private utility locating services, typical private utility locating costs, or review utility locating best practices before your project begins.
