Marking the Private Lines JULIE Leaves Out

Water line locating in Plainfield traces and paints private water, sewer and sprinkler lines on your property that JULIE does not mark. A tech uses electromagnetic locators and sondes to follow the line, notes the depth and paints or flags the path before you dig for a fence, patio or pool.

This service ties into our water line leak detection work. JULIE does not mark private lines that belong to you, so private utility locating in Plainfield fills that gap.

What Water Line Locating Includes

A locating visit covers:

  • Private water lines from the meter to the street and out to the yard
  • Sewer laterals from the cleanout outward
  • Sprinkler mainlines and zone runs
  • Lines to sheds, pools and outbuildings
  • Depth readings at key points
  • Curb stop and buried valve locates
  • A photo map of the painted lines for your records

Why Water Line Locating Matters in Plainfield

Plainfield homeowners build a lot of fences, patios, pools and additions. That means a lot of digging near pipes nobody remembers.

Our Line Tracing Process

Most locating visits take one to two hours, depending on how many lines need tracing.

Lines We Locate

Water Service Lines

The pipe from the curb stop to your meter. We locate the water service line and locate the curb stop too, so you know exactly where the line starts and runs.

Sewer Laterals

Sewer line locating in Plainfield runs a camera with a transmitter from the cleanout, then follows it from above.

Sprinkler Lines

We locate sprinkler lines from the backflow to each zone valve, which helps before any landscaping.

Pool, Shed and Outbuilding Lines

Long or forgotten lines to a pool, shed, garage or hydrant get traced end to end.

Buried Valves and Cleanouts

Valve boxes and cleanouts get buried under mulch and sod over the years. We find them so they are easy to reach in an emergency.

How Much Does Water Line Locating Cost in Plainfield?

Water line locating cost runs about $150 to $400, depending on how many lines and how long they run.

If we find a leak while tracing, we tell you on the spot.

Line Locating Questions We Answer Often

Does JULIE mark my private water line?

JULIE members mark the lines they own, usually up to the meter or property edge. Private lines past that point, like yard, sprinkler and outbuilding lines, are usually not marked.

How deep is my water line?

How deep is my water line, people ask. It varies by home and yard, and lines sit below the frost line. A locator gives a depth reading on site.

Where does my water line run?

Where does my water line run? Usually in a fairly straight path from the curb stop to the meter. A trace shows the real path, bends and all.

Where is the water line in my yard?

To find a water line in the yard yourself, start at the meter and look for where the pipe leaves the foundation. For the full path and depth, a locator trace is the only sure way.

Can you locate plastic pipe?

Yes. A small transmitter called a sonde is pushed through the line, or we follow a tracer wire if one was installed.
