Why
Private Utility Locating is Necessary

The law requires you to call 811 to have public utilities marked before you dig. However, public utilities will only locate the facilities they own - electric, gas, oil, sewer, telephone, water. The vast majority of underground utilities are privately owned, which is why you need to make Blood Hound your second call.

We locate ALL underground utilities and structures and offer a range of highly specialized subsurface utility services to significantly reduce your risk of costly damages and project delays and mitigate safety hazards for your crews and community.

It's not just underground...it's under control.®

Because of the service I received I have already referred your company to one of my electrical contractors who after hearing my story asked for your contact information. I’m sure we will be doing business again in the future.

Christopher Perino, CTP Contracting LLC

We are happy to have a partnership with BHUG and especially our local (Atlanta) locate technicians. John Singer has done a fantastic job of not only helping us to avoid damages but effectively communicating the underground conditions he is seeing that may cause problems for our HDD and excavation crews. With his expertise and guidance we have been able to avoid damages to countless private utilities as well as unmarked utilities in the public right of way.
