Why Choose Aurora Sewer Cleaning?

Sewer Locating and Tracing Specialists in Aurora, IL

Sewer locating and tracing is the process of identifying the exact underground path of a sewer line and pinpointing its depth at any given point. We use a camera-mounted transmitter that broadcasts a signal from inside the pipe — and a receiver above ground that picks up the signal, plots the line, and measures depth. The result is a precise underground map of your sewer infrastructure.

At Aurora Sewer Cleaning Corp, locating work is most commonly requested before excavation, repair, or clean-out installation — and increasingly as a pre-purchase service for buyers in Aurora and Naperville’s older neighborhoods. We feed the transmitter through your line, walk the path above ground, mark the line on the surface, and confirm depth at key points. You get an accurate map of what is below ground before anyone breaks soil.

What sets Aurora Sewer Cleaning Corp apart is the deliverable. We provide clear surface markings, location notes, and where requested, camera footage and written reports that excavators, repair contractors, or licensed plumbers can use directly. No assumptions. No best-guesses. Just the actual location of your line.

We serve homeowners, contractors, real estate professionals, and commercial property managers throughout Aurora, Naperville, Joliet, Elgin, Plainfield, and the greater Fox Valley. Drainlayer licensed. Fully insured. Bilingual. Hablamos español.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Locating

Why would I need sewer line locating done?

Most common reasons: before excavation or repair work, before installing a sewer clean-out, before landscaping near your home, before a real estate transaction, or when you have lost track of where your sewer line actually runs on an older property.

How accurate is sewer locating equipment?

Professional locating equipment can identify line position within a few inches and depth within a foot or so under most soil conditions. That level of accuracy is the difference between a clean excavation and an expensive mistake.

Can you locate any type of sewer pipe?

Yes. Our locating equipment works on clay tile, cast iron, PVC, HDPE, and most other sewer pipe materials common in Aurora-area homes and commercial properties.

Do you provide a written report?

We provide surface markings standard, and we can provide camera footage, written location reports, and contractor-ready documentation on request — useful for excavation contractors, licensed plumbers, or real estate transactions.

How much does sewer locating cost in Aurora?

Cost depends on the length of the line, complexity, and any documentation requested. We give you a clear price before the work begins, with no overtime charge for nights, weekends, or holidays.
