Not locating the underground utilities prior to digging may cause a dangerous situation or cost you a whole lot more money in repairs. Luckily, there are ways that you can tell where these underground utilities are located in close proximity to your property.




For the most part, you are going to see that colored flags or lines are used to help mark the location or to denote the presence of certain kinds of underground utilities. You might even notice that there will be fluorescent spray paint on the ground marking where the lines are placed.




In case of a flag, there is often a logo that is on it that will tell the municipal utility or company that have utilities installed underneath. In the case of sprinkler heads on commercial ground, you will also see them specially marked so that any landscaping crews or construction workers are able to detect them.




Whether it is wires underneath the ground, sprinkler systems or piping, it is important that they are properly marked to help stop any chance of an accident from happening. These location methods are crucial in case there is any sort of lack of information on outdated maps in the area. More info on:
