HAMILTON UTILITY LOCATING FAQ
Q: "Do I need a locate before digging in Hamilton?"
A: "Yes. Before you dig, you must have all utilities located to avoid damaging buried lines, injuring workers, and causing costly outages. TraceIQ helps you cover both public and private utilities so you can dig with confidence."
Q: "What's the difference between Ontario One Call and a private locate?"
A: "Ontario One Call arranges locates for public utilities only. A private locate covers lines that belong to the property owner, like secondary hydro feeds, private gas lines, irrigation, and site lighting. You need both to see the full picture underground."
Q: "How fast can you get to my site?"
A: "In most cases, we can schedule Hamilton-area locates the same day or within 24 hours, with 24/7 emergency response available when you need us on site fast."
Q: "What areas do you serve?"
A: "We serve Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Burlington, and the surrounding area. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, contact us and we'll confirm."
