Sewer Line Locating in Franklin & Nashville, TN
Sewer line locating uses a sonde transmitter and a surface locator to trace the exact path and depth of an underground sewer line, marking it on the surface.

Locating tells you where the line runs and how deep it sits — essential before excavation, landscaping, or any work that could disturb the line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need my sewer line located?

Is line locating included with a camera inspection?
Yes. We include sonde location with every camera inspection, so you get a line map along with the condition report.
Can you locate a line before I build an addition?
Absolutely. Locating the line before construction lets you plan footings, pools, and decks around it and avoid a costly conflict.

Sonde locating reliably marks the line's horizontal path and depth at the surface, accurate enough to plan excavation and avoid the line during other work.
