Buried electrical line locating in Lafayette, IN

Find the wire to your garage, shed, or lamp post

If power runs underground from your house to a garage, shed, lamp post, or outbuilding, that wire is usually yours. 811 will not mark it. We put a transmitter on the line and trace it with our Milwaukee locator. Call for pricing — call or text (765) 551-7368.

Call 811 first

Before you dig, call 811 or put in a request with Indiana 811 online. It is free, and they mark the public utility lines — gas, power, water, and others.

We do not replace 811. We find the private lines they do not mark, like your sewer lateral, septic system, and wire you ran to a garage or shed. Use both.

What we trace

Private buried wire

The common ones we get asked about:

Detached garage
Power run underground from the house panel.
Shed or workshop
Wire to lights and outlets out back.
Lamp post
The yard light wire that nobody remembers.
Outbuildings
Barns, pole buildings, and other structures on the property.

We can also try to trace invisible dog fence wire and some sprinkler lines. Call and tell us what you have.

Short answers

Before you book

Do I still need to call 811?

Yes. Call 811 (or use Indiana 811 online) a few days before you dig. It is free, and they mark the public utility lines. We find the private lines they do not mark. Use both.

Will 811 mark the wire to my garage?

Usually not. Wire past your meter that you or a past owner ran is private. 811 still marks the utility’s lines, so call them too.

How much is buried electrical locating?
