When You Need Professional Plumbers

What is a pipe locator?

A pipe locator is a specialized tool created to pinpoint buried pipes beneath the ground. In numerous areas, the practice of burying plumbing, water, and gas lines, as well as conduits for electrical wiring and cable, is widely embraced. There are various motivations behind burying pipes, from minimizing storm-related risks to achieving a neat and tidy appearance in a yard. Nonetheless, the primary challenge associated with buried pipes is the potential difficulty in relocating them over time.

How does a pipe locator work

Pipe locators consist of two essential components: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is employed to generate a signal along a pipe or cable, while the receiver, also known as the wand, is utilized to pinpoint the signal emitted by the line.

When maintenance is required on an underground pipe, a locator can be employed to precisely locate the pipe, reducing the extent of excavation necessary for its detection. Pipe locators are invaluable for recognizing potential risks before any excavation work commences, guaranteeing that pipes and utility lines are not inadvertently damaged during digging.

Pipe locators are a valuable tool for mapping out underground utilities and plumbing in any yard or area for future reference. When moving into a new home, having an idea of where buried pipes are located can be beneficial for troubleshooting issues or planning yard work.

Using a pipe locator effectively requires a certain level of skill, especially with models that offer various functions.
