Ontario is a major economic and transportation center within the Inland Empire, widely recognized for its proximity to Ontario International Airport, extensive rail and freeway access, and strong industrial and commercial base. Located along key corridors such as Interstate 10, Interstate 15, and State Route 60, the city plays a vital role in logistics, warehousing, and regional commerce. With continued residential growth and ongoing infrastructure development, accurate utility locating is essential for projects throughout Ontario.
Enhanced Scanning provides professional utility locating services for Ontario property owners, contractors, and facility managers. Using advanced, non-destructive scanning technologies, we identify underground utilities and embedded concrete hazards before excavation, drilling, or renovation begins, helping projects move forward safely and efficiently.
About Enhanced Scanning
Enhanced Scanning is a private utility locating company committed to “finding the unfindable.” Our goal is to deliver dependable solutions to subsurface challenges by combining experience, technology, and a detail-oriented approach. We serve clients throughout Ontario and across Southern California with a highly trained team and industry-leading equipment.
A key differentiator of Enhanced Scanning is our multi-tool methodology. Instead of relying on a single locating technique, we often deploy multiple technologies on a single site to create a more complete and accurate view of what exists below ground or within concrete slabs. This layered approach allows our clients to make more informed decisions and reduce unexpected risks.
What Customers Are Saying About Our Utility Locating Services in Ontario, CA
Dave Kinder was so helpful and knowledgeable…I didn’t even know this kind of service existed! But in rehabbing properties and curing code violations, having a resource for certifying slabs and concrete walls and structures is so essential!!! Will definitely be keeping this number in my rolodex!”
– Angela A.
I work for a general contractor and needed a concrete scanner asap and he was able to get out to the job site, scan what we needed, and sent over a full report within the time we needed. Our company has used his services a few times and they go above and beyond every time. Great company.”

Equipment Used in Our Utility Locating Services in Ontario, CA
Because no two sites are the same, there is no single tool that works for every utility locating project. Soil composition, site conditions, and the type of utilities present all influence the tools we select. Many projects require a combination of technologies to accurately identify underground or embedded features.
Enhanced Scanning continually invests in advanced equipment and training to ensure we meet the needs of our Ontario clients. Our “toolbox” includes:
- Single, dual, and multi-channel Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) antennas
- Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF) transmitters and receivers
- Sewer push cameras
- Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) sensors
- Magnetometers
- Push rods
- Pulse wave generators
- Additional non-destructive testing (NDT) tools
Private vs. Public Utility Locating Services in Ontario, CA
Property owners often assume that contacting the free 8-1-1 service is sufficient for utility locating in Ontario. While 8-1-1 can mark public utility lines, its scope is limited. Typically, public utilities are only marked up to the meter, leaving private utilities—such as irrigation systems, private water lines, drainage, and site lighting—unmarked.
Additionally, 8-1-1 requests may involve scheduling delays and often rely on limited locating techniques, which can increase the risk of missing utilities. For projects operating on tight timelines or requiring a more comprehensive scan, these limitations can create challenges.
Enhanced Scanning provides utility locating services that identify both public and private utilities using multiple technologies. This thorough approach helps Ontario property owners and contractors avoid costly mistakes, reduce safety risks, and keep projects on schedule.
