Colorado Springs
Private lines found and marked, all over the Springs
Colorado Springs is home base. From Black Forest and Northgate down to Fountain, and out to Falcon and Peyton, a locate inside about 30 driving miles of Monument carries no travel charge, and most days we can be there on the date you pick.
811 marks the utility companies' lines up to your meter. Everything past it is private and 811 will not touch it: the power to the shop, the gas to the fire pit, the irrigation, the sewer lateral. We trace those with an electromagnetic locator, sweep with ground-penetrating radar for what carries no signal, and paint the results in APWA color code at the line's position on the surface. Anything we could not find goes in writing, so you know where to hand-dig.
Work we have done around the Springs, from the job log: gas and electric marked ahead of a fiber install on Walker Road in Black Forest; geotechnical boring locations checked on South Academy Boulevard for an engineering firm; an electric service traced on El Camino Drive; a gas line locate on Southwood Drive; the police firing range on South Academy; sign footing locations checked on North Chestnut Street and Valley Street for a sign company; and a steady run of residential locates in the 80908 Black Forest area for the same contractor.
We also scan concrete before cutting or coring, trace sewer laterals from the cleanout, manage Colorado 811 tickets for contractors, and measure utility footage off plan sets for estimators. Residential locates are a flat rate for the visit; commercial sites go by the half-day or day. Send the address and what you are digging and we send a firm number, within one business day.

FAQs
Answers to common questions
Find quick, clear information to help you get started
Which parts of Colorado Springs do you cover, and is there a travel charge?
All of it. Black Forest, Briargate, Northgate, Rockrimmon, the Westside, Old Colorado City, Broadmoor, Cheyenne Mountain, Stetson Hills, Powers, Fountain and Security-Widefield, and out to Falcon and Peyton. Anything inside about 30 driving miles of Monument carries no travel charge, and that covers every Colorado Springs address.
Colorado Springs Utilities marked my lines. Why do I still need you?
Because they marked their lines, not yours. Colorado Springs Utilities and the other 811 members mark the gas, electric, water and sewer they own, up to your meter or the end of their own line. The gas to the fire pit, the power to the shed, the irrigation, the sewer lateral from the house to the main and the line to the well are private, and none of them are on that ticket. Those are what we mark.
How fast can you get to a Colorado Springs address?
Usually within a few days, and same-day or next-day when the schedule allows. Send the address and what you are digging through the request form, or call or text (719) 800-4937; you get a firm quote within one business day, often the same day, and once it is approved with the deposit the date is held. If you need a specific day, ask for Priority. If you can be flexible, Route Day is cheaper and we fit you in with other Springs stops.

I have been looking for a private location service that is locally owned and I have had a heck of a time getting any responses. I am so happy with the ease and responsiveness of APEX Locating Services. We have a consistent need for a private locator because we often need to dig on private property for signage, and I have defiantly found our new partner! It was easy to request a quote and to approve the scope online. Our location was scheduled very quickly. I was able to pay quickly online as well. They have a great system to make location services fast and easy. Reggie was excellent onsite. It may be hard to see in the photo, but the utilities were clearly marked and easy to find. If you are looking for professionals who can provide great service at a really fair cost, use Apex Locating Services!
