Tampa’s Trusted Utility Locating & Subsurface Solutions Provider

Private Utility Locating

Many underground utilities in Tampa are privately owned and not marked through 811, creating significant risk during excavation. Blood Hound specializes in locating private subsurface infrastructure, including:

• Private electrical and communication lines
• Water, sewer, and force mains
• Irrigation and landscape systems
• Fuel lines and underground storage tanks
• Parking lot and site lighting utilities

Using a combination of electromagnetic locating and ground-penetrating radar, our technicians identify underground utilities with a high degree of confidence, helping project teams avoid damage, delays, and unplanned repairs.

Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Blood Hound provides professional GPR scanning services in Tampa to detect subsurface utilities, voids, and structural elements where traditional locating methods may fall short.

GPR is particularly effective for:

• Locating non-conductive utilities
• Identifying unknown or abandoned lines
• Scanning beneath concrete, asphalt, and soil
• Supporting safer excavation and drilling decisions

Leak Detection

Hidden leaks can cause extensive damage and water loss if left unresolved. Blood Hound offers non-destructive leak detection services throughout Tampa to help clients locate leaks quickly and accurately without unnecessary excavation.

Leak detection services are commonly used for:

• Underground water systems
• Commercial and industrial facilities
• Municipal and utility infrastructure
• Preventative maintenance programs

By pinpointing leak locations early, Blood Hound helps Tampa clients reduce downtime, control costs, and protect surrounding structures.

Geospatial Services

Blood Hound’s geospatial services provide high-resolution mapping and documentation of site conditions using drone technology and precision positioning systems.

Our geospatial data helps Tampa project teams:

• Visualize existing infrastructure and terrain
• Improve site planning and coordination
• Reduce design conflicts and change orders
• Maintain accurate long-term records

All deliverables integrate seamlessly with CAD and GIS platforms to support efficient project execution.

Robotic Camera Inspection

Using advanced robotic camera inspection systems, Blood Hound evaluates underground piping and sewer systems without excavation.

This service allows our team to:

• Identify structural defects and blockages
• Accurately locate problem areas
• Reduce unnecessary digging
• Improve safety and efficiency

Detailed inspection footage and reporting provide clear insight into underground conditions for maintenance and repair planning.

Concrete Scanning

Before cutting, drilling, or coring concrete, Blood Hound performs GPR concrete scanning to identify hidden hazards such as:

• Rebar and reinforcing steel
• Post-tension cables
• Electrical conduits
• Plumbing and embedded utilities

Concrete scanning protects workers, preserves structural integrity, and helps Tampa construction teams avoid costly mistakes.

Vacuum Excavation

Blood Hound offers wet and dry vacuum excavation as a precise, low-impact method for exposing underground utilities.

Vacuum excavation is ideal for:

• Utility daylighting and verification
• Congested or sensitive job sites
• Design-phase confirmation
• Emergency access and repairs

This method minimizes surface disruption while reducing the risk of utility damage.

Unknown subsurface conditions can create serious safety hazards and costly project delays. Accurate utility locating and subsurface investigation are essential for successful construction and excavation in Tampa.
