Sewer Locating in the South Bay
Need the sewer marked before a pool, ADU, or repair? Request a locating estimate.
Schulze Plumbing Inc. provides Sewer Locating in the South Bay / Los Angeles County area. See cities we serve or call 310-487-2975.
Locating uses a sonde and receiver to mark the pipe in the yard. It reduces exploratory trenches. It is not a substitute for calling 811 for other utilities.
Deep laterals and cast-iron can be harder to hear. We tell you when a mark is confident vs approximate.

- A break we can see on camera but not yet on the lawn

- After you approve, we schedule the job.
FAQ
- Is this the same as utility locating?
- We locate the sewer we can access. Gas, electric, and telecom still go through the regional one-call process.
- Can you locate under a slab?
- Sometimes, with weaker signal. Interior marks are a guide, not a guarantee of the exact saw cut.
- Do I need a camera too?
- Locating finds where. Camera finds condition. Many jobs need both.
