Find the line before you dig.
Most homeowners don’t know where their sewer line runs between the house and the street. Guessing can mean digging in the wrong spot or damaging the pipe. Dunnrite uses RIDGID inspection cameras and RIDGID locating equipment to trace the line from inside the pipe and mark its route and depth on the surface.
A small transmitter on the camera sends a signal from inside the pipe. From above ground, the locator follows that signal so we can mark where the line goes, how deep it is, and where a problem spot sits.
When sewer locating helps
- Before a repair Pinpoint a break, sag or root problem so the dig is small and in the right place.
- Before you build or dig Additions, decks, fences, driveways, trees and pools.
- Finding a cleanout Locate a buried or missing cleanout.
- Buying or selling a home Know the route and condition of the line.
- Shared or unclear lines Find out where your line runs and where it connects.
Sewer mapping
We can mark the line on the ground and note the route, depth and key points, like cleanouts, bends and problem spots, so you have a record of where your sewer runs for future work.
Questions about sewer locating
Doesn’t MISS DIG mark my sewer line?
Call MISS DIG 811 before any digging. It marks public utility lines, but the private sewer line on your property usually isn’t marked. That’s where sewer locating comes in.
Do you need to dig to find the line?
No. We trace the line from inside the pipe with a camera and locate it from the surface.
Can you show me the problem on camera too?
Yes. Locating is often done together with a camera inspection, so you see the problem and know exactly where it is.
