More About Us

FAQ

  • What does Prescott Utility Locating do?

    We provide private utility locating and leak detection services across Prescott and Northern Arizona. Our team identifies underground utilities such as water lines, gas lines, electrical conduits, sewer pipes, and communication cables—especially those located on private property where 811 services stop.

  • What is the difference between 811 and a private utility locating service?

    811 is a free public service that locates utility lines owned and maintained by utility companies, usually up to the meter. Prescott Utility Locating goes beyond the meter, locating privately owned lines like gas lines to barbecues, electrical lines to sheds, or water lines to pools—services 811 does not cover.

  • What types of utility lines can you locate?

    We locate a wide range of underground utilities, including metallic and plastic water lines, sewer pipes, gas lines, electrical conduits, communication cables, and irrigation systems. 

  • Do you offer leak detection services?

    Yes, we specialize in water and sewer leak detection using advanced diagnostic tools and systematic procedures. We can isolate leak areas, trace the line direction, and often pinpoint the exact source of the leak.

  • How much does it cost to locate utilities on my property?

    The best way to get an accurate estimate is to give us a call at 928-713-1471.

  • Do I need utility locating if I already called 811?

    Yes—if you're digging on private property beyond the point where utility companies maintain their lines, 811 won't mark those utilities. We fill that gap by locating privately installed lines that still pose safety risks if struck.

  • Can you locate utilities on residential and commercial properties?

    Absolutely. We work with homeowners, contractors, property managers, and utility companies to locate underground lines safely and efficiently on both residential and commercial sites.

  • What areas do you serve?

    We proudly serve all of central and northern Arizona, including Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Flagstaff, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, Williams, Wickenburg, Sedona, Page, Seligman, Ash Fork, Grand Canyon, Payson, Winslow, Holbrook and many surrounding communities and beyond. 

  • How do I schedule a utility locate or leak detection?

    Just give us a call at 928-713-1471. We’ll discuss your needs, answer any questions, and provide an estimate. Prompt, professional service is always our goal.
