Utility Locators
In any construction, excavation, or repair project, striking an unmarked utility line can lead to catastrophic damage, costly delays, and significant safety hazards.
Avoid the common risk of unnecessary digging and the associated waste of time and capital. South East Total Service offers precision utility locating services to accurately map and mark all underground infrastructure before you break ground.
Modern Water Lines
Present day water-supply systems use a network of high-pressure pumps. Pipes in buildings are now made of copper, brass, plastic (particularly cross-linked polyethylene called PEX, which is estimated to be used in 60% of single-family homes), or other nontoxic material. Due to its toxicity, lead has not been used in modern water-supply piping since the 1930s in the United States. Lead was used in plumbing solder for drinking water until it was banned in 1986. Drain and vent lines are made of plastic, steel, cast-iron, or lead.
