Request a Locate in Asheboro
Finding and marking the buried lines on the owner side of the meter, the ones a one-call ticket does not cover.
In Asheboro, North Carolina — population 26,103, with buried infrastructure laid down over decades and recorded unevenly — private utility locating is how a site gets read before anyone breaks ground. Local construction work drives most of the demand.
A one-call ticket brings out the member utilities, and each marks the public lines it owns, stopping at the meter, the pedestal, or the edge of the right-of-way. Private utility locating covers everything past that boundary: the water service running to the building, the gas run out to a shop or generator, site lighting and sign circuits, irrigation mains, sewer and septic laterals, and the power and fiber feeding a second structure. A private locator is hired by the property owner rather than by the utility, works the whole site rather than one company's assets, and pairs an electromagnetic locator with a ground penetrating radar cart because neither instrument finds everything on its own.
Project-planning data for Asheboro, NC — soil, climate, and regulatory factors that shape how locating crews scope work in this market.
Asheboro sits in a temperate climate. Local ground: Clay, Loam, Sandy loam.

Primary industries — construction — drive steady demand for private utility locating across the Randolph County area.
North Carolina 811 (811) requires 3 business days of advance notice before any excavation in North Carolina. That notification is free and it is separate from private utility locating: it brings out the member facility owners to mark the lines they own, and stops at the meter or the right-of-way. Wait for every member to respond before ground is opened.
Locating is quoted per job rather than off a rate card, because the work is a search and a search scales with the site rather than with the clock. On a Asheboro job, the things that move the number are how much ground has to be covered, how many targets are in play, whether there are meters, valves, risers, or panels a transmitter can be clipped to, what the lines are made of, what the local ground (clay, loam, sandy loam) does to the instruments, and whether you need surface marks or a record you keep.
