Private Utility Locating in Monument, CO
Tri-Lakes is our own back yard: Monument, Woodmoor, Palmer Lake, Gleneagle and Black Forest, no travel charge. Private lines found and marked before the auger or the trencher goes in.
Monument & Tri-Lakes
Big lots, long private runs, and 811 stops at the meter
Monument is the shortest drive on our schedule. We are based just outside town, so Woodmoor, Palmer Lake, Gleneagle, Black Forest and the country lots off Higby Road and in Kings Deer carry no travel charge and can usually be booked on the date you pick.
Tri-Lakes lots are big, and that is the problem. 811 marks the utility companies' lines up to your meter and stops. The long private runs from the road to the house, the power out to the barn or shop, the gas to the fire pit, the well line, the irrigation and the sewer lateral are yours, and nobody marks them unless you have them marked. 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 where the line runs. Anything we could not find goes in writing, so you know where to hand-dig before the fence auger or the trencher goes in.
Work we have done in Monument, from the job log: a residence on Pinehurst Drive for a contractor we work with regularly; an electric line locate on Graywoods Terrace; locates on Oxbridge Road and Golden Pine Lane; and a Route Day locate on Deer Creek Circle.
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, within one business day.

Monument questions
Questions we get from Monument
Anything else, call or text (719) 800-4937.
811 marked my lines in Monument. 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.
How fast can you get to a Monument 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.
Do you give the depth of the lines you mark?
No. We mark the horizontal position on the surface in APWA color, and we do not give depth: a number that is off by a foot is worse than none. Hand-dig or pothole to expose a line before you cross it with a machine.
