Underground Cable Fault Locating & Repair
X Marks the Spot
Underground wire breaks don't have to mean digging up your entire yard. We use Precision Fault Locating technology to pinpoint the damage within inches, saving your landscaping and your wallet.
A single nick in a 500-foot cable can kill power to your detached garage or parking lot lights. Replacing the whole wire costs thousands. Finding the nick and splicing it costs a fraction of that.
Private Lines vs. 811
Gopher State One Call (811) locates public utilities. They do not locate your private electrical lines (pole-to-shed, house-to-garage). That's where we come in.
A-Frame Locator
Pinpoint Accuracy. We inject a specialized signal into the ground that directs us to the exact point of the fault. We don't guess; we know exactly where to put the shovel.
Submersible Splices
Waterproof Forever. Once located, we repair the wire using heavy-duty, submersible splice kits designed to live underground. The repair is often stronger than the original wire.
No Trenching
Save the Driveway. If your wire runs under a driveway or patio, locating the fault allows us to repair just the bad spot instead of boring or cutting concrete to run a new line.
The Digging Dilemma
The "Easy" Way
- Expensive: Renting trenchers and buying 500ft of wire.
- Destructive: Tearing up flower beds and sod.
- Labor: Days of work for a simple fix.
Fault Locating
- Surgical: We dig one small hole, fix it, and fill it back in.
- Fast: Most faults are located and repaired in hours.
- Clean: Your yard stays intact.
Stop Digging Blind
