Moreno Valley is a thriving city located in the heart of Riverside County, known for its strong transportation access via State Route 60 and Interstate 215, expanding residential neighborhoods, and growing commercial and industrial sectors. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the Inland Empire, Moreno Valley attracts homeowners, developers, and businesses who value its central location, available land, and proximity to major Southern California markets. With continued development across the city, safe and accurate utility locating has become increasingly important.
Enhanced Scanning proudly serves Moreno Valley residents and businesses with professional utility locating services. We perform detailed underground and concrete scanning using advanced, non-destructive technologies to help property owners, general contractors, and facility managers identify hidden utility lines and other potential hazards before construction, renovation, or excavation begins.

We provide utility locating services throughout Moreno Valley and Southern California, utilizing industry-leading technology and a highly trained team of experienced professionals.
What sets Enhanced Scanning apart is our multi-tool approach to utility locating.

Each tool has unique strengths, and when combined, they allow our clients to make confident, well-informed decisions for their projects.
What Customers Are Saying About Our Utility Locating Services in Moreno Valley
After months of wondering where the sewer and water lines were located on this vacated lot we owned, we called Enhanced Scanning. A short phone conversation later we had an appointment set up. The estimate seemed reasonable. He showed up on time, did the locating with his equipment, marked the lines with tags and paint and gave us an online map to document what he found. Nice guy and we were very satisfied. Thanks.”

I had a major leak on a 300 foot pvc water service that ran under concrete I exhausted all my options on a starting point, I made a decision on using a fairly new procedure that Enhanced Scanning provides, Forrest (proprietor) responded and within a short time gave me a location, I asked how certain are you on this location he stated 100 percent, how could I argue with that? This gave me a starting point to take some doubt to minimize my excavation in concrete, I must admit I was skeptical as I have 40 experience on leak detection , locating and repairing, so when I excavate I must use all my resources, so his 100% trumped my very best guess, he fully exceeded all my expectations”

Equipment Used in Our Utility Locating Services in Moreno Valley
No single tool is ideal for every utility locating situation. Factors such as soil conditions, project scope, and the type of utilities present all influence which technologies will provide the best results.

- Single, dual, and multi-channel Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) antennas

- Additional non-destructive testing (NDT) tools
Private vs. Public Utility Locating Services in Moreno Valley
Many property owners assume that calling the free 8-1-1 service is sufficient for utility locating in Moreno Valley. While 8-1-1 is a helpful starting point, it has important limitations to be aware of. The service typically marks only public utility lines and usually stops at the utility meter. Private utilities—such as irrigation systems, private water lines, septic systems, or site lighting—are not included and may not get identified by the 8-1-1 service.
In addition, 8-1-1 requests can take days or even weeks to schedule, which may not align with project timelines. The service may also rely on limited locating methods, increasing the chance that some utilities go undetected.
By choosing Enhanced Scanning, Moreno Valley property owners gain access to comprehensive utility locating services that identify both public and private utilities using multiple technologies. This thorough approach helps minimize risk, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure projects proceed safely.
