How We Find Underground Faults

We use non-invasive diagnostic tools and field-tested methods to accurately locate underground issues — minimizing guesswork and unnecessary digging.

Our Tools & Techniques:

🔍 Underground wire tracing
⚡ Fault location meters (TDR or thumpers)
📏 Depth & path tracing for buried lines
🪛 Load and voltage testing at endpoints

We’ll identify where the break is, how deep it is, and the fastest way to fix it — saving you time, money, and disruption.

How We Fix the Problem

Once the fault is found, we’ll:

  1. Expose the break safely (minimal trenching)

  2. Repair or replace the damaged section

  3. Test the system for full restoration

Depending on the damage, we may recommend replacing the entire run with new wire in conduit to prevent future failures.
