Colorado Springs
Private lines found and marked, all over the Springs
Colorado Springs is just south of our Monument base. From Black Forest and Northgate across the city and out to Falcon and Peyton, a locate inside 30 driving miles of Monument carries no travel charge, and visits are booked 2 or more business days out.
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 where the job calls for it, 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: gas and electric marked ahead of a fiber install in Black Forest; geotechnical boring locations checked for an engineering firm; an electric service traced; a gas line locate; a firing range in Colorado Springs; sign footing locations checked 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; small commercial sites have a flat package, and larger sites go by the half-day or day. Send the address and what you are digging and we send a firm number.

FAQs
Answers to common questions
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 30 driving miles of Monument carries no travel charge. The far south side, Fountain and Security-Widefield, sits past that line and carries a flat travel fee, shown on the quote before you approve it. On our route day in your area a home pays the in-area price; your own date adds the travel charge.
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 (a sewer trace is priced separately).
How fast can you get to a Colorado Springs address?
Usually within a few days. Need it today? A same-day visit adds a small charge when we can fit one in. Send the address and what you are digging through the request form, or call or text (719) 800-4937; you get a firm quote, and once it is approved the date is held. If you need a specific day, say so when you book. If you can be flexible, 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!
