Locate Sewer and Water Lines Before a Driveway, Sidewalk, or Concrete Project
Driveway replacements, sidewalk projects, aprons, and new concrete pads can involve excavation, grading, saw cutting, and base prep in exactly the areas where private sewer and water lines may already run.
GroundTruth is locating-focused and inspection-only. We help reduce guesswork before digging, drilling, trenching, concrete work, or foundation-related work begins.
Why concrete projects create utility risk
Even when the final project looks shallow, the prep work can disturb more soil than expected. Crews may remove existing material, re-grade, compact, trench, or adjust drainage before the new concrete is poured.
Why locating before the pour matters
Once new concrete is down, unexpected future line work can become more disruptive and expensive. Knowing likely utility paths before work begins helps you plan smarter today.
If the question is line condition rather than line path, pair this with a sewer camera inspection.
