Palmer Lake
Old lines, no drawings, minutes from our base
Palmer Lake is minutes from our base in Monument. The town, the Glen, Red Rock Ranch and the County Line Road and Highway 105 corridor carry no travel charge, and we can usually be there on the date you pick.
Older Palmer Lake homes carry old lines: services buried decades ago with no drawings, plastic or clay laterals that carry no signal, and runs out to sheds and wells that nobody remembers. 811 marks the utility companies' lines up to your meter and stops. The rest is private, and no utility marks it. We trace what we can 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 trencher or the fence auger goes in.
Work we have done in Palmer Lake, from the job log: sign footing locations checked on County Line Road for a sign company, and an electric line locate on Meadow Lane.
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.

Palmer Lake questions
Questions we get from Palmer Lake
Anything else, call or text (719) 800-4937.
811 marked my lines in Palmer Lake. 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 Palmer Lake 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.
