Found One Near Nelson and Haster
Back in April, a family living near Nelson Street and Haster Street called us before starting a kitchen remodel. They knew there were copper lines under the slab but weren’t sure where. Their contractor didn’t wanna guess and risk busting a pipe.
We came in with RF signal tools, hooked up to the system near the hose bib, and followed the signal to the sink and dishwasher feeds. Marked the whole path in tape and chalk. Turns out the main feed line cut across the breakfast nook—not what they expected. They re-routed the cabinets, and no one had to break tile. They sent us a thank-you pic of the finished kitchen a couple weeks later.
How We Locate Copper Water Lines
This ain’t like digging with a shovel or guessing with a stud finder. Copper water line locating uses gear made for this. First, we hook a low-voltage pulse line to the copper pipe—usually from a hose bib, water heater, or valve stub-out. Then we use a receiver to trace the electromagnetic pulse through the wall, slab, or yard. If needed, we double-check with a magnetic wand or sonar mic.
We follow the signal inch by inch, marking direction and depth. Then we talk options. If it’s for planning, we map the whole run. If it’s for a repair, we hone in on the leak zone. The process is clean, fast, and doesn’t mess up your house.
2025 Average Cost in Orange County CA: $325–$525 for copper water line locating (residential, up to 60 feet of tracing).

DIY Mistakes with Copper Line Locating
A homeowner near Chapman tried using a stud finder. Problem is, it kept beeping on rebar, not the pipe.
Someone else used a metal detector in the backyard, but it picked up an old sprinkler fitting, not the copper water line.
And then there was the guy who drilled “test holes” along the baseboard—he missed the pipe by six inches and hit a power conduit.
