Beyond Guesswork. Built on Accuracy.
Ground Truth Utility Locating LLC was built on one principle: guesswork gets people hurt—accuracy keeps projects moving.
Hi, I’m Daniel Rodriguez, a professional utility locator with field experience in damage prevention, telecommunications, and underground infrastructure. I started Ground Truth to give contractors, homeowners, and project managers clear, reliable answers before a shovel ever hits the ground.
After years in high-volume locating, I chose to operate independently so accuracy, accountability, and thorough verification come first—not speed quotas. I’ve completed thousands of locates, routinely closing hundreds of tickets per week, with less than 2 reported damages in 5 years.
Whether it’s residential, commercial, or an urgent private locate, the goal stays the same: prevent damage, protect lives, and keep your project on schedule.
If you need certainty underground, you need Ground Truth Utility Locating LLC.
Field Verified Utility Information
At Ground Truth Utility Locating LLC, our services go beyond standard markings. We provide private utility locating, independent verification of existing 811 marks, and damage investigation services to help identify underground conditions that may not be captured in public records.
Our work supports informed decision-making by delivering clear documentation and field-verified information that helps reduce uncertainty before and during excavation.
Why Contractors Choose Ground Truth.
Anyone can spray paint the ground.
Not everyone stands behind their work.
Ground Truth Utility Locating LLC exists for situations where accuracy actually matters — tight digs, questionable records, past hits, or projects where a mistake costs time, money, and trust.
I don’t rush through locates. I don’t rely solely on prints. And I don’t assume someone else’s marks are correct.
Every locate is approached with one question in mind:
“If this line gets hit, will I be confident I did everything possible to prevent it?”
That mindset is what sets Ground Truth apart.
The Difference Between Guessing and Knowing
Every project—big or small—comes down to one moment: the decision to dig.
Some people rely on assumptions. Others take the extra step to be sure.
Ground Truth exists for the second group. The ones who want clarity instead of crossed fingers, and confidence instead of explanations after the fact.
Whether you’re managing a job site, working on your own property, or simply trying to avoid a costly mistake, knowing what’s below changes everything. The right information turns risk into control and uncertainty into a clear path forward.
That’s how Ground Truth helps people finish strong—by making sure there are no surprises when it matters most.
