The time required for underground utility locating depends on the size and complexity of the area being surveyed. For small residential properties, it may take as little as 1-2 hours. Larger commercial or industrial sites, especially those with dense utility networks, can take several hours or even a full day. Factors such as weather, soil conditions, and the type of utilities being located can also affect the timeline.

Yes, many underground locating services can identify leaks or damages in pipes and other utilities. Technologies like GPR and specialised sensors can detect anomalies, such as water pooling or gas escaping, which may indicate a leak. Early detection of issues helps prevent costly repairs, safety hazards, and service interruptions.

Underground locating is effective in most soil types, but certain conditions can impact accuracy. For example, sandy or loose soils typically provide good results, while highly conductive soils, such as those with high clay or moisture content, can reduce the effectiveness of certain technologies like GPR. Professional locators often use a combination of methods to overcome these challenges and ensure reliable results.
