Jacksonville’s Leading Utility Locating & Infrastructure Solutions Provider

Private Utility Locating

Not all underground utilities are marked by 811. Blood Hound specializes in locating privately owned underground infrastructure, including:

• Irrigation and sprinkler systems
• Parking lot and roadway lighting
• Private electrical and communication lines
• Fuel and storage tanks

Our technicians use a combination of electromagnetic locating tools and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to identify subsurface utilities with exceptional accuracy. This comprehensive approach reduces the risk of utility strikes, service interruptions, and unexpected repair costs.

Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Blood Hound provides dedicated GPR scanning services for locating utilities, voids, and structural elements beneath soil, asphalt, and concrete. GPR is especially valuable in areas where traditional locating methods are limited or where utility records are incomplete.

Our GPR services support:

• Utility detection in non-conductive materials
• Concrete and slab inspections
• Subsurface anomaly identification
• Safer excavation and cutting decisions

Leak Detection

Undetected leaks can lead to structural damage, water loss, and costly repairs. Blood Hound offers non-invasive leak detection services to help identify hidden issues before they escalate.

Our leak detection solutions are commonly used for:

• Water and plumbing systems
• Underground piping networks
• Facility maintenance and diagnostics
• Preventative infrastructure assessments

By pinpointing leaks accurately, we help Jacksonville property owners and facility managers minimize downtime and repair costs.

Geospatial Services

Blood Hound’s geospatial services provide detailed mapping of underground and aboveground infrastructure using advanced drone platforms and high-precision positioning technology.

These maps help clients:

• Visualize site conditions clearly
• Identify potential conflicts early
• Reduce planning and design timelines
• Lower overall project costs

Our geospatial data integrates seamlessly with CAD and GIS systems, making it a powerful tool for engineers, planners, and asset managers.

Robotic Camera Inspection

Using robotic camera systems, Blood Hound inspects sewer lines and underground piping without excavation. This method allows our team to:

• Identify blockages, cracks, and deterioration
• Accurately locate problem areas
• Reduce unnecessary digging
• Improve safety and efficiency

High-resolution video and reporting provide clear insight into underground conditions, supporting informed maintenance and repair decisions.

Concrete Scanning

Before cutting, coring, or drilling into concrete, it’s essential to know what lies beneath the surface. Blood Hound uses advanced GPR concrete scanning to locate:

• Rebar and reinforcement
• Post-tension cables
• Embedded utilities and conduits
• Structural elements

Concrete scanning helps protect workers, preserve structural integrity, and prevent costly damage during construction or renovation projects.

Vacuum Excavation

Blood Hound offers wet and dry vacuum excavation as a precise, low-impact method for exposing underground utilities. This non-destructive technique is ideal for:

• Utility verification
• Congested or sensitive areas
• Design-phase daylighting
• Emergency access situations

Vacuum excavation minimizes surface disruptions while protecting critical infrastructure and improving jobsite safety.

Unknown utilities and hidden infrastructure can cause serious delays, damage, and safety risks. Comprehensive utility locating is essential for successful projects in Jacksonville.
