Private Utility Locating in Olympia, Washington
Twin City Locating provides professional private utility locating services throughout Olympia, Washington. Whether you are installing fencing, trenching utilities, repairing sewer lines, or preparing for construction, underground utilities can be accurately located and marked before digging. Using professional Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic locating equipment, Twin City Locating helps prevent utility strikes, costly repairs, and project delays.
Olympia includes a mix of older neighborhoods, new construction, waterfront properties, and rural parcels, all of which often have private underground utilities that are not marked by public utility locating services.
Private utilities commonly located in Olympia
Washington 811 marks public utilities only, and those end at either the meter or off of the main lines. Private utilities located beyond the meter or serving detached structures are not marked by public 811 entities. For all utilities past the meter or off the main, require private utility locators such as Twin City Locating to mark those utilities.
Utilities privately located in Olympia include:
• Private water service lines from meter or well to home
• Sewer laterals connecting homes to city sewer
• Septic system piping and drain lines
• Underground electrical lines to shops, garages, and outbuildings
• Communication and fiber optic lines
• Irrigation and sprinkler systems
• Unknown or undocumented utilities
​
Ground Penetrating Radar locating in Olympia
Ground Penetrating Radar allows detection of both metallic and non-metallic underground utilities, including PVC water and sewer lines that cannot be located using traditional electromagnetic locating.
This is especially useful in Olympia neighborhoods such as:
​
• West Olympia
• East Olympia
• South Capitol
• Boston Harbor
• Cooper Point
• Rural Thurston County properties
When private utility locating is recommended
Private locating is recommended before:
​
• Fence installation
• Sewer repair or replacement
• Water line installation
• Shop or garage construction
• Excavation or trenching
• Landscaping projects
​
It is always cheaper to know what's where before starting, than having to stop for an expensive repair.
