What Is Sewer Line Locating?

Sewer line locating is the process of finding the path or position of an underground sewer pipe. It is often used when a sewer issue needs inspection, repair, replacement, or excavation planning.

A sewer line locator can help identify where the pipe runs from the home toward the municipal sewer connection or service area. In many cases, locating works together with sewer camera inspection to help understand both the pipe condition and the pipe location.

Sewer line locating can be helpful before:

  • Sewer line repair
  • Sewer line replacement
  • Sewer camera inspection
  • Excavation planning
  • Landscaping or yard work
  • Basement plumbing work
  • Recurring sewer backup diagnosis
  • Tree root problem investigation
  • Blocked sewer service
  • Property maintenance planning

Important note: sewer line locating does not replace required utility locating for gas, electrical, water, or communication lines before digging.
