About Enhanced Scanning
Enhanced Scanning is a private utility locating company dedicated to “finding the unfindable.” It is our mission to provide our clients with informed, innovative, and even creative solutions to many subsurface problems. We accomplish this by offering utility locating services in Fontana, and throughout Southern California, using industry-leading technology and a highly trained team of professionals.
One of the main things that sets Enhanced Scanning apart from others in the utility locating industry is our multi-tool approach to many projects. Depending on the project, we may use more than one piece of technology to get the most accurate picture of what is located below the surface of the ground or embedded within a concrete slab. Each piece of equipment in our “toolbox” has its strengths and its limitations, but when combined, they can provide a very complete picture that our clients can then use to make informed decisions for their projects.
What Customers Are Saying About Our Utility Locating Services in Fontana
Have done multiple jobs with Enhanced Scanning and it’s always a fluid process and hope to keep this momentum with them. I started by searching for them because I was in a bind with my carport contractor to get private utility markings at the 11th hour and Enhanced came through. Highly recommend them and you learn a lot from them.”

Equipment Used in Our Utility Locating Services in Fontana
There is no one tool that is perfect for every underground utility locating project. The site, the soil conditions, and the sizes and types of targets help us determine which tool(s) will work best. Some projects require multiple tools to provide the full picture of what lies underground or within a concrete slab. For this reason, Enhanced Scanning has been diligent in ensuring that we have what it takes, both in expertise and in our toolbox, to find what our Fontana clients are looking for in the subsurface.
Here are some of the tools we use in our utility locating services in Fontana:
- Single, dual, and multi-channel Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) antennas
- Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF) transmitters and receivers
- Sewer push cameras
- Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) sensors

- Push rods

- Other non-destructive testing (NDT) tools
Private Vs. Public Utility Locating Services in Fontana
You might be wondering why someone wouldn’t just call the free 8-1-1 service for utility locating in Fontana. The answer is that the 8-1-1 program is quite limited. First of all, it only locates public utility lines on residential and commercial properties, and then only up to a certain point. (They typically stop at the utility meter.) If you have private utilities, such as water pipes coming from a well, a septic system, landscape lighting, or irrigation systems, you’ll need to have these private utilities located by a private utility locator. In addition, the 8-1-1 program often has a long backlog of service requests. It can sometimes take weeks before a technician can get out to your property. If your project is on a tight timeline (as many are), you will want to call out a company like Enhanced Scanning for utility locating services in Fontana. Finally, the free 8-1-1 service may only use one type of tool to scan your property for buried utilities, and therefore fail to find all existing hazards.
When you utilize the utility locating services of Enhanced Scanning, our technicians can find both public and private utility lines.
