Know What's Underground Before You Dig
JBN Sales now offers ground penetrating radar scanning to locate buried utilities, tanks, and obstructions — so your project starts safely and stays on schedule.
Hitting a Buried Line Stops Everything
One unmarked utility line can shut down your project, damage your property, and put your crew at risk.
811 marks public utilities — but it won't find private water lines, septic systems, old tanks, or abandoned pipes. GPR scanning shows you what's really down there before the first bucket hits the dirt.
Why Scan Before You Dig
GPR isn't guesswork — it's a clear picture of what's below the surface.
- Locate private water, gas, and electric lines 811 won't mark
- Find septic tanks, old fuel tanks, and buried debris
- Verify clear ground before trenching, grading, or foundation work
- Avoid costly utility strikes and repair delays
- Plan smarter with accurate depth and location data
Done first, a GPR scan protects everything that comes after.

What Property Owners Should Know
Before scheduling a GPR scan, keep these in mind:
- 811 is free and required — GPR fills the gaps it leaves on private property
- Soil type and moisture affect scan depth and clarity
- Scanning before excavation is far cheaper than repairing a struck line
- One visit can cover scanning and your excavation estimate
Working with one local contractor for both keeps your project simple.
Ground Penetrating Radar FAQs
Do I still need to call 811 if I get a GPR scan?
Yes. 811 marks public utilities and is required by law. GPR locates the private lines and objects 811 doesn't cover.
What can ground penetrating radar find?
Water, gas, and electric lines, septic tanks, buried fuel tanks, voids, and other underground obstructions.
How deep can GPR see?
Typical scans reach several feet down, depending on soil conditions and the target's size and material.
Can you scan and excavate on the same project?
Yes. We scan first, then handle the excavation — one contractor, one plan, no handoffs.
