When utilities buried in the ground require repair, removal or modification, locating them needs to be a matter of precision. Es7 Comm-2U, Inc. is pleased to provide utility detection and pothole services to our customers, making this process simple, swift and effective. As utility contractors in Roseville, Rocklin, Citrus Heights, Placer County, and North Highlands, CA, we know how they’re laid, giving us expert insight into how to locate and access them once again.
Pothole services enable us to find utilities in the ground without the invasive process of digging—which could also disrupt utilities that were previously laid. Instead, we bore small holes into the earth at key points to tunnel down to where utilities are buried. No matter the utility, no matter the depth, we’ll locate buried lines quickly and efficiently.
Potholing to different depths also allows us to help you ensure that your utilities are all where they should be and in the condition they should be in. If, for example, your previous utilities were not laid to the proper depths, we can help determine this so the situation can be righted or future problems can be ignored.
In working with a utility contractor in Roseville, CA for potholing, you’re making the choice for excellence. We’re adept at quickly uncovering utility lines and can immediately pinpoint the condition of laid lines to provide you with a smart assessment of the situation at hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is potholing and why do I need it?
A small, precise hole used to see a buried line before you trench or bore. It confirms location and depth so existing utilities are not hit.
Do you locate utilities before you dig or bore?
Yes. We check for buried features and pothole as needed before the run starts.
Is potholing the same as calling 811?
No. 811 marks public utility lines. Potholing visually confirms what is in the ground, including lines 811 may not show. Do both.
When should a GC schedule potholing on a retrofit?
Before excavation or boring on a developed site — especially electrical, plumbing, or pavement work where old lines may not match the drawings.
