Utility Locates Across Ontario

 

Safe. Accurate. Fast Turnaround. Complete Locating Services has you covered before you dig.

Before any excavation or construction project, knowing exactly what’s underground prevents damage, delays, and costly repairs.

At Complete Locating Services Inc., we provide professional utility locates for contractors, municipalities, and property owners across Ontario. Our trained technicians use advanced detection technology to mark buried lines quickly and accurately—so your crew can dig with confidence.

What is

What Is a Utility Locate?

A utility locate identifies and marks the position of underground utilities, gas, hydro, water, telecom, and fiber, before ground disturbance begins.

Unlike Ontario One Call, which handles public infrastructure, we locate private lines within commercial, residential, and industrial properties.

Process

Our Utility Locating Process

  1. Assessment: Review site drawings or project plans to determine locate scope.
  2. Detection: Use electromagnetic (EM) locators and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to trace active and inactive lines.
  3. Marking: Paint and flag utilities following Ontario Colour Code standards.
  4. Reporting: Provide a clear field sketch and digital record for your project files.
Our process minimizes downtime and gives your team the information they need to excavate safely.

    We’ve worked with Complete Locating Services and Complete Cutting & Coring, and their team has been exceptional across the board. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and reliability make them stand out. The work is precise, the crew is respectful of the jobsite, and they consistently leave everything clean and headache-free. A top-notch operation that we will continue to rely on for both private locates and concrete cutting/coring. Highly recommend
