Hey everyone, hoping to get some practical safety advice for an upcoming backyard project in Hawthorn. We're planning to dig deep trenches for a new garden drainage system and install heavy fence posts along our boundary. However, our property has multiple underground services including hot water supply lines, electrical cables, and irrigation feeds running through the yard at various depths. I've been reading through
https://leaksrus.com.au/avoid-damaging-underground-pipes/ which breaks down how buried lines can sit anywhere from a few inches to 48 inches deep, and I'm terrified of an excavator bucket hitting a hot water pipe or live electrical conduit and causing a dangerous or super expensive disaster. Is there a reliable team for
water leak detection melbourne and private utility scanning that can accurately locate and map all these underground assets before we start digging?
You are 100% doing the right thing by getting a professional scan done before bringing in any heavy digging equipment! Striking a buried high-voltage line or cracking a hot water pipe under pressure can lead to insane repair costs and serious danger. Before our landscapers started excavating our yard in Kew, I hired Leaks R Us to survey the whole space. Their tech used precision ground scanners to mark out the exact paths and depths of all our underground water, gas, and power lines, keeping our excavation crew completely safe and stress-free. Highly recommend getting them out to mark your yard first!
