Private Utility Locating in Falcon and Peyton, CO
Big lots, long private runs, and 811 stops at the meter. We find and mark the rest before the auger, the trencher or the skid steer goes in. Most Falcon and Peyton addresses carry no travel charge.
Falcon, Peyton & the east side
Country lots and everything 811 leaves unmarked
East of the Springs the lots get big and the private runs get long. Falcon, Peyton, Meridian Ranch, Woodmen Hills and Latigo are mostly within 30 driving miles of Monument, so most addresses carry no travel charge; Calhan, Ellicott, Yoder, Kiowa and the far side of Elbert County carry a flat travel fee that is shown on the quote before you approve it. Within 60 driving miles, a home on our route day in your area pays the in-area price; your own date adds the travel charge.
811 marks the utility companies' lines up to your meter and stops. Out here that leaves a lot unmarked: the power from the road to the house and on to the barn, the well line, the propane run, the irrigation, the septic and leach lines, and whatever the last owner buried for the fence. We trace what carries a signal with an electromagnetic locator, sweep with ground-penetrating radar (where the job calls for it) for what does not, and paint the results in APWA color code where the line runs. Anything we could not find goes in writing, so you know where to hand-dig before the auger, the trencher or the skid steer goes in.
Work we have done on the east side: a playground in Peyton, locates for an electrical contractor, an in-floor heat and utility locate in Elbert, and locates in Elbert and Yoder.
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. Residential locates are a flat rate for the visit. Send the address and what you are digging and we send a firm number.

811 marked my lines in Falcon and Peyton. Why do I still need you?
Because they marked their lines, not yours. The 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 an address in Falcon or Peyton?
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.
