How it works

A process built around the property and planned work.

From the first project details to the findings shared after the site visit, Mark It Private Locating keeps the investigation connected to your request.

Our process

From Project Details to What's Below.

We work with homeowners, contractors, property managers, and businesses to understand the project, investigate the site, and help identify underground infrastructure before work begins.

Project details

Tell Us About the Project

Share the property location, the work being planned, and the area that needs to be investigated. These details help us understand the scope of the request before arriving on site.

Prepare for the Locate

We coordinate the service visit and review the project area so the investigation can focus on the underground infrastructure relevant to the planned work.

Before the visit

A few details help keep the project focused.

Provide the project address, describe the planned work, and identify the area where ground disturbance is expected. Share access instructions and any site information that may help explain the property.

Complete required 811 notification before digging and follow any instructions associated with the planned excavation. Our services complement that process. A request submitted to our team starts a conversation and does not itself confirm an appointment.
