Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you service?
LeakTech has local teams that provide services in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and Gympie.
Free asset plans do not always include all underground services, such as Telstra fibre-optic plants. This means you are leaving room for error and may end up hitting underground services that you didn’t know were on your property. At LeakTech, our APL technicians are fully qualified and experienced to locate all underground services on your property accurately.
Yes. While you can try your luck with free plans from Dial Before You Dig or utility companies, we don’t recommend it. These plans are often out-of-date and inaccurate. To ensure the safety and success of your project, contact qualified, professional Accredited Plant Locators, like our team at LeakTech.

Dial before you dig not enough

Do you know what’s buried underground? Damaging underground cables can cause severe or even fatal injury. Dial Before You Dig plans are not enough.

No matter the size of your project, whether you’re putting in a new driveway, landscaping your yard or doing construction work such as directional boring or drilling, or working in a trench, you need to be able to identify if there are any underground services hidden below. You do not want to risk severing or damaging power or phone cables or sewer or storm water pipes that may be underneath.

However, you cannot rely on the free plans available from Dial Before You Dig for accuracy. Utility owners such as Telstra, Optus and Energex do not have accurate records of the location of their underground assets. Their plans are a guide only. This is why in their ‘Duty of Care’ guidelines they recommend the use of Accredited Plant Locators (APLs) for all excavations.

There have been numerous occasions where our 123 Locate It APL technicians have located underground cables when there has been nothing indicated on the Dial Before You Dig plan for that location. These plans certainly never contain any information for any underground cables or pipes inside the property boundary.

123 Locate It technicians are highly trained and accredited plant locators. Our technicians are also accredited Telstra fibre-optic plant locators, unlike many other service locators in the industry. We service Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas. Please call 123 Locate It on 0421 624 794 when you need to dig. We have a rapid response time with very competitive rates.
