Underfoot Locating Services is the culmination of my 25 years of experience in the commercially owned utility sector. I have embraced the chance to use my skills for a greater purpose. I am now providing private utility locating to help my family, my friends, and all of my Chicagoland Neighbors to stay safe and save money. My company locates the buried utilities that the 811 system does not. With my expertise in Ground Penetrating Radar and private utility locating, I guarantee effective utility locate solutions for everyone.
Our team is composed of experienced professionals who are committed to delivering exceptional GPR services. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs, offering tailored solutions for private utility locating and underground utility locating that exceed their expectations. Our comprehensive utility locate services ensure that every project is handled with precision and care.
We provide a comprehensive suite of GPR services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our customers. From basic direct connect locates to specialized underground utility locating, as well as private utility locating and archaeological and forensic dig site surveys, we have solutions for everyone.
We utilize Radio Detection equipment for utilities that can be directly connected, such as tracers and exposed metal pipes. For those that cannot be directly accessed (for example underground storage tanks), we have Ground Penetrating Radar. Our extensive capabilities in utility locating make it easy to find what lies beneath the surface. Consider this short list of our locating services: finding water leaks, pinpointing faults in electrical lines, septic and sewer lines and tanks, French drains, and farm field tiles, as well as identifying unmarked graves, gas and propane lines, and water lines. With our private utility locating solutions, remember, if it is buried, we can find it!

We have seen over the years to many homeowners, business owners, and contractors being stuck with the bills for the repairs of utilities that they just didn’t know it were there. No matter how minor or major the damage, no one wants the added cost of fixing something that could have been prevented.


When a contractor working for a homeowner or business owner hits a privately owned utility, the initial cost, may not seem like it would be much. Consider how much time you might be without power, sewer or water or even gas while repairs are made. Plus, include the cost of the repairs themselves. These costs are even more when you own a business, and you are out the daily accounts receivables.

· Electric Line Repair – Homeowners may pay $250 to $550
· Gas Service Repair – Homeowners may pay $400 to $700
· Water Service Repair – Homeowners may pay $400 to $1500
· Communication Line Repair – Homeowners may pay $160 to $2100
And the cost can be even higher for commercial properties. Be aware and be sure to always CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG.
