INDOOR LOCATES & CONCRETE SCANNING
What’s Hidden in Your Concrete or Just Beneath It? We’ll Help You Find It!
Indoor renovation and investigation projects often involve cutting or coring concrete slabs, where unknown embedded utility lines can lead to serious damage. Whether you’re dealing with post-tension cables, embedded rebar, electrical conduits, metallic water lines or non-conductive sewer lines, locating and scanning before you dig or cut is essential.
​
At Know Before You Dig Locates, LLC, we use state-of-the-art GSSI ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) locate tools to map out any conductive and non-conductive materials inside or just beneath concrete — giving you a clear understanding of what lies beneath the surface.

Indoor Concrete Scanning – Frequently Asked Questions
​1. What is concrete scanning used for?
Concrete scanning is used to locate buried objects such as rebar, post-tension cables, and conduits prior to cutting or coring.
2. How deep can GPR see into concrete?
Depth depends on slab thickness and material density, but typically up to 18 inches with high-frequency GPR.
3. Can you detect leaks inside concrete?
No, we do not perform leak detection — but we can identify metallic lines commonly associated with slab leaks.​​
