RO Locating specializes in the hard-to-find underground problems that stop irrigation systems and waste hours of digging: buried valves, ground faults, cut or broken wires, and irrigation control-wire paths.
Professional electronic locating, tracing, marking, and a walkthrough of what was found.
*Applies to qualifying standard locate services where the requested target is reasonably traceable and accessible. Advanced fault diagnostics, fully severed conductors, unknown systems, large properties, or complex troubleshooting may require a separate diagnostic fee.
Focused on difficult underground irrigation and low-voltage locating problems — not general sprinkler installation or repair.
Find buried sprinkler valves and valve boxes without randomly digging up the yard.
Use professional fault-locating methods to narrow down underground leakage and fault locations.
Trace underground conductors and help identify where a damaged or interrupted wire path may be located.
Trace other accessible private underground wiring and conductive lines where a usable signal can be applied.
Trace underground control-wire paths and identify where they run through the property.
Locate private buried pet-fence wiring where traceable access is available.
RO Locating uses professional 3M Dynatel 2273 diagnostic equipment, backed by 15 years of professional telecom and underground plant experience.



Professional-grade locating equipment designed for underground conductor tracing, route identification, depth estimation, and fault-location work.
Real telecom and underground plant experience means the equipment is paired with practical field knowledge — including signal interpretation, true-path verification, depth work, and A-frame fault locating.

RO Locating does not replace Sunshine 811. 811 is the first call for participating public utility marking before excavation.
RO Locating focuses on private underground systems and difficult locating problems such as buried irrigation valves, irrigation control wires, ground faults, and damaged private wiring.
“RO Locating found our buried sprinkler valves after we had already struggled to locate them. The system was traced, the valves were found, and we were able to get the irrigation system operating again.”Customer Experience
