Utility Locating Services in Florida and Georgia

We Locate EVERYTHING Underground: Gas Lines, Water Mains, Electric, Sewer, Telecom, and More!

Hitting a buried gas line or severing a fiber optic cable during excavation costs an average of $56,000 per strike—before factoring in injuries, project delays, and regulatory fines. GPR Bros eliminates that risk with comprehensive utility locating that maps every pipe, cable, and conduit beneath your site. Our technicians combine ground penetrating radar with electromagnetic tracing, pipe cameras, and metal detection to find water mains, sewer lines, electric conduits, and telecom infrastructure that utility companies miss. We mark everything on-site and deliver detailed documentation so you dig with confidence.

Professional Underground Detection

Our Field Investigation Process

Excavating without accurate subsurface data risks severed gas lines, punctured water mains, and cut telecommunications cables. GPR Bros combines ground penetrating radar with electromagnetic detection to map buried infrastructure before your crew breaks ground—preventing costly strikes and dangerous utility damage.

Step 01

Contact

Describe your project scope—new construction, renovation, directional boring, or emergency dig. We review site conditions, determine which detection methods apply, and schedule a technician with the right equipment for your buried infrastructure.

Step 02

Locate

GPR Bros technicians sweep the site using GPR, electromagnetic tracing, and radio frequency detection. We identify gas, electric, water, sewer, telecommunications, and fiber optic lines—both public and private utilities—recording depth and horizontal position for every located asset.

Step 03

Deliver

You receive on-site paint and flag markings plus comprehensive documentation: field service report, photographs of all marked utilities, GPS-referenced utility maps, and KMZ files for integration with your project plans.

GPR Bros uses ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic tracing, ferromagnetic sweeps, and pipe cameras to locate everything underground—not just what’s on record.

Your Documentation Delivered Before You Dig

GPR Bros documents every gas line, water main, sewer pipe, and electric conduit we locate. Your engineers and excavation crews get GPS coordinates, field reports, photographs, and exportable KMZ files in whatever format works for the project.

On-Site Fast When Your Project Can't Wait

Unexpected utility strike halt your project? Tomorrow’s concrete pour can’t wait? GPR Bros responds within 24 hours to locate gas, water, electric, sewer, and telecom lines so your excavation resumes without delays or additional damage.

Utility Locating Services Include:

GPS Site Mapping and Deliverables

Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Tracing

GPR Bros utility locating starts with ground penetrating radar to detect PVC pipes, concrete encasements, and non-metallic conduits invisible to metal detectors. We combine GPR with active electromagnetic tracing for live electric and telecom, passive RF sweeps for energized cables, ferromagnetic detection for iron water mains, and CCTV pipe cameras when visual verification is needed. This multi-technology approach finds gas lines, water mains, sewer pipes, and buried electric that single-method locators miss.

Pre-Bore and Excavation Clearance

Gas, Water, Electric, Sewer, and Telecom Detection

GPR Bros utility locating identifies all buried infrastructure types. We mark gas lines in yellow, electric cables in red, water mains in blue, sewer pipes in green, and telecom and fiber optic in orange following APWA Uniform Color Codes. Storm drains, steam lines, fuel pipes, and specialty infrastructure get additional designations. Your excavation crew sees exactly what type of utility is beneath their equipment.

CCTV Sewer and Pipe Inspection

Field Marking, GPS Maps, and Project Documentation

GPR Bros utility locating includes complete deliverables so your data doesn't disappear after the first rain. On-site paint and flag marking shows exactly where gas lines, water mains, electric conduits, and sewer pipes run. GPS coordinates, field photographs, detailed reports, and exportable KMZ files give your engineers and excavation crews permanent records for the entire project.

Abandoned Line and Structure Discovery

Lost Utility and Structure Discovery

GPR Bros utility locating finds infrastructure that doesn't appear on any drawing. Abandoned septic tanks, old fuel storage, forgotten wells, decommissioned gas lines, and buried foundations all show up on ground penetrating radar. We locate these hidden structures before your excavation crew discovers them—avoiding damage, delays, and unexpected remediation costs.

How We Locate Every Buried Line

No single technology finds everything underground. GPR Bros combines ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic tracing, CCTV pipe cameras, and sonde transmitters at every utility locating job site throughout Florida and Georgia. Each method detects different materials—GPR finds PVC and plastic, EM traces metal pipes and cables, cameras verify conditions inside drains. Together, they map gas lines, water mains, sewer pipes, electric conduits, and telecom that single-method locators miss.

Passive RF Frequency Detection

EM passive sweeps detect 60Hz power frequencies and radio signals radiating from energized utilities without direct connection. GPR Bros uses passive locating to find live electric lines and telecom cables when no above-ground access point exists. This method identifies energized gas line tracer wires, street lighting circuits, and telecom runs across Florida and Georgia job sites.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

High-frequency radio waves penetrate the ground and reflect off buried objects to create a subsurface image. GPR Bros uses ground penetrating radar to locate utilities invisible to electromagnetic equipment—PVC gas lines, plastic water pipes, fiber optic conduit, concrete storm drains, abandoned septic tanks, and buried foundations. No other utility locating method reliably detects non-metallic infrastructure.

Active Signal Induction Tracing

Active EM tracing induces a radio frequency signal onto metallic utilities and follows the path underground. GPR Bros uses active locating to trace metal gas lines, copper water services, steel sewer pipes, electric conduits, and telephone lines throughout Florida and Georgia. This method delivers precise depth and horizontal position data for conductive utilities.

Sonde Transmitter and Duct Rod Tracing

When pipes have direct access but no metallic tracer wire, GPR Bros inserts a flexible duct rod with a transmitting sonde. The sonde broadcasts a locatable signal as it travels through the pipe, allowing us to trace PVC sewer lines, plastic conduits, HDPE gas lines, and non-metallic drains that won't carry an induced EM signal.

Buried Metal and Ferrous Object Detection

GPR Bros deploys multiple metal detector types to locate ferrous objects that other utility locating methods miss. We find underground storage tanks, buried valve covers, cast iron pipes, and abandoned metallic infrastructure hidden beneath the surface.

Concrete Scanning

Specialized GPR units tuned for concrete detect rebar, post-tension cables, and embedded conduits inside slabs and walls. GPR Bros performs concrete scanning alongside utility locating when your project involves existing buildings—mapping what's inside floors, ceilings, and structural elements before coring or cutting begins.

Video Pipe Inspection

CCTV crawlers and push cameras let GPR Bros see inside sewer lines, storm drains, and conduits directly. Video pipe inspection verifies utility locating findings, documents blockages or damage, and confirms pipe material and condition. We deploy cameras when visual confirmation supports your excavation or rehabilitation planning.

What Our Partners are Saying

Contractors across Florida and Georgia trust GPR Bros when project safety and schedules depend on accurate locates.

Types of Utilities Located

GPR Bros marks all located utilities with paint and flags following the APWA Uniform Color Code. Your excavation crew sees exactly what type of infrastructure runs beneath their equipment before breaking ground.

What You Get After Every Job

Accurate utility locating data only matters if you can access it when you need it. GPR Bros delivers documentation in multiple formats so project managers, engineers, and field crews all have the information before digging starts.

On-Site Paint and Flag Marking

Every job gets marked with APWA color-coded paint and flags to prevent damage and increase work safety. We use water-based paint that makes semi-permanent marks visible throughout your project. Dirt and grass areas get flagged. We adapt our methods to ensure no existing structure gets damaged during mark-out.

Written Job Report

Our reports document everything—technician name, time on site, utility types located, depth estimates, methods used, obstructions encountered, and any other findings from the investigation. You get a complete written record of what we found and how we found it.

Photographic Documentation

Photos document our work and provide permanent reference points for years to come. We photograph utility marks alongside permanent landscape features so locations can be verified long after paint fades. Every report includes a Dropbox link with all project images.

Satellite Overlay Maps

Upon request, GPR Bros provides satellite imagery overlaid with visual illustration of all utilities located, depths, and other job-relevant information. Maps show exactly where gas lines, water mains, electric, sewer, and telecom run across your site.

GPS Survey Files for CAD Integration

All GPR Bros technicians carry geo-satellite receivers. Upon request, we perform a basic GPS survey and deliver KMZ and KML files you can import directly into your project software or CAD systems.
