Before anyone digs, you need to know exactly where the line is. Rhino Rooter locates and marks depth and position, so any excavation or repair lands on the right spot the first time.
Sewer line locating uses a sonde transmitter in the camera head plus a surface locator to mark the exact depth and position of a line or defect. Instead of guessing where a pipe runs, we pinpoint it from the surface and flag the spot before any tool touches the ground.
It's needed before excavation, before a targeted repair, or to map an unknown line on a property. Whenever a dig or a spot fix is on the table, locating turns "somewhere under the yard" into a marked spot with a known depth.
We run the camera with a sonde to the target point inside the line.
We use the surface locator to mark the position directly above the line.
We read and mark the depth, so any dig or repair is precise.
We run the camera with a sonde to the target point, then use the locator to mark the surface position and depth, so any dig or repair is precise.
Locating is typically performed with a camera inspection ($250-$300); standalone locates are quoted based on the job. We confirm the scope and price with you before we start, so there are no surprises.
Digging without locating risks hitting the wrong utility, missing the defect, and paying for exploratory excavation. A few minutes with a locator is far cheaper than a hole in the wrong place.
We provide sewer line locating across Ogden, West Haven, Roy, North Ogden, and the surrounding Weber County area within 75-mile of West Haven.
So any repair or excavation is targeted to the exact spot and depth, rather than guesswork that risks digging in the wrong place.
A sonde and surface locator mark depth and position closely, which is why we use it before any repair or dig.
It's typically performed together with the $250-$300 camera inspection; we'll confirm scope when you call.
