Sewer Line Locating & Leak Detection in Shaker Heights — what matters locally
Shaker Heights's housing dates to 1945, which means nobody has reliable drawings. Laterals from this era have been re-routed around garages, extensions and driveways added decades later — the documented route and the actual route are frequently different things.
Clay and Orangeburg are non-metallic, so neither can be traced with a conductive signal. We locate them with a sonde run through the line, which is why the locate and the camera inspection are normally done in one visit.
When Shaker Heights properties need sewer line locating & leak detection
- Before excavating for a pool, extension, fence, deck or driveway
- Before planting a tree anywhere near the line
- When planning a spot repair so the dig is precise
- When you suspect a leak but cannot see where
- Before buying a Shaker Heights property with no recorded lateral route

What it costs in Shaker Heights
For most Shaker Heights homeowners the honest comparison is not pipe-against-pipe but total project cost. Open-cut looks cheaper until the driveway and landscaping have to go back in.

Answers
Sewer Line Locating & Leak Detection in Shaker Heights — FAQs
Do I still need to call OHIO811?
Always — Ohio law requires it before excavation, and it costs nothing. What OHIO811 will not mark is your private lateral or water service. That is the gap this service fills.
How accurate is the locate?
Horizontal position is typically within a few inches. Depth is generally within about 10 percent, and becomes less precise the deeper the line runs or where other buried metal interferes.
Can you find my water line too?
We can. Water services are found by listening for escaping water rather than by sonde, and we carry the equipment for both on the same visit.
