FAQs

What's the difference between calling 811 and hiring your private locating service in Gretna?

Calling 811 is a free and essential first step that locates only public utility lines up to your meter. In Gretna, many critical lines on your property—like private water lines to outdoor faucets, propane lines to tanks, or gas lines for outdoor kitchens—are your responsibility. These private utilities make up over 65% of underground lines and are not registered with 811. Our service is specifically for locating and marking these private lines, ensuring a complete picture before you dig to prevent damage and costly repairs.

Can you help locate a frozen or damaged outdoor faucet line in my Gretna home?

Absolutely. A common issue for Gretna homeowners is outdoor faucet lines freezing or leaking. We can precisely locate the private water line running from your house to the outdoor faucet. By marking its exact path and depth, we provide crucial information for any repair or replacement work. This helps prevent accidental damage to the line during excavation and allows a plumber to target the repair efficiently, saving you time and avoiding further complications.

I'm installing a fence. Why do I need a private utility locate if I already called 811?

While 811 marks public lines (like main gas or water), it stops at your property line or meter. Installing a fence involves digging post holes across your yard, where private utilities like irrigation lines, propane lines to a tank, or gas lines for a fire pit are often buried. Hitting one of these lines can lead to service interruptions, safety hazards, and expensive repairs. Our locate service maps these private lines, giving you and your contractor the confidence to dig safely and avoid unexpected setbacks.
