Services
We're a family-owned and operated business that has been serving the Valley since 2004. John and Lori Collins are the owners and are both life-long Valley residents. Lori has been providing administrative support in the locating industry for over 21 years. John began his plumbing career in 1977 and has been locating for over 24 years.
It is important for me to use other trades with the same high standards and honesty that we use ourselves. I have been using Precision Locating for the last seven years and I would not use anyone else to find my leaks. Over the years we have found them to be reliable, honest and punctual in all of our dealings.
Precision Locating starts where Blue Stake leaves off. We give you the ability to plan BEFORE you put the shovel in the ground; saving you time, money and aggravation. We give you the assurance you won't plant that tree on top of your sewer line, potentially costing you hundreds of dollars to repair a collapsed line or root intrusion after a few years.

I used this company to locate the septic tank on the property that I moved into. When I bought the house, it was disclosed as being on city sewer. Lo and behold, it is on septic! I called Precision Locating, and they sent Kody out to find it. He was extremely professional, helpful, and he found it in under thirty (30) minutes. I would highly recommend them.

They located the leak underneath my bathroom floor which was noticeable already due to the hot water warming the floor. However, they mis-located where the re-route location was. I had to pay my plumber extra to locate the right water run.

Precision Locating came out last week to help us identify where a sewer gas smell was coming from in our house. They performed a smoke test and found the problem areas in one hour. They also recommended some excellent plumbers to have out to complete the repairs. We have been in our house for almost a year and then entire time we have been trying to get this issue resolved. Thanks to these guys our house finally smells great and the plumbing was fixed without too much damage because they pinpointed exactly where the problems areas were. Hopefully we don’t need this type of service again, but

Doug and Cody came out on a second opinion based visit to inspect our pipes. They were referred to us by Affordable Plumbing, which is also an amazing company. Absolutely fantastic experience with them, they were on time, friendly as can be and very reasonably priced. Professional, courteous and personable, I would recommend Doug and Cody to any homeowner in Mesa! Thank you guys!!!!

I run a plumbing company in the valley and am very happy with the services that Precision Locating has offered us. We have used their company more than 20 times to locate pressure line slab leaks and they have continuously performed exactly as their name describes, Precise.

Doug came out to locate a suspected leak we had in our hot water line. He quickly and efficiently located the leak, and then went the extra mile to ensure the correct line was identified. His knowledge of plumbing helped quickly narrow down where it was and eliminate false leads. I would recommend Precision Locating again. Hopefully, I won't need their services again, but I know who to call if I do.

So after two trips from a plumber, and two different restoration companies coming out to detect where water was coming from(all saying upstairs toilet) it took Doug about 3 minutes to find the actual source of the leak(downstairs fridge....yeah). Doug was great to speak to and helped walk me through the process and find out what went wrong. HIGHLY recommend Precision locating to be your FIRST call if you find water where it's not supposed to.

Doug came out and within the hour found where the leak was. Since I'm on SS the price was high for me, no discount. But will be saving money on wasting water with the leak, but can't afford anyone else to cone out and fix it. Have to do the digging myself and replace the broken pipe that is actually in my neighbors yard. These houses were built with waterlines on other peoples property. Yep that's Arizona for ya!

This is an ABSOLUTELY DEPLORABLE company!! We had them out to locate our sewer line so twe could properly drain our pool for resurfacing. They clearly sent an incompetent individual to our home because he was unable to locate the sewer line because our pipes "have too many twists and turns". "Precision" would be the LAST word I would use as a title for this dysfunctional organization.
After unsuccessfully completing the task we paid for them for, they had the audacity to still charge $225 for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. When we called to dispute the charge some imbecile named Lori continued repeating

Awful customer service. They charge a ridiculous amount of money with no guarantee of any solution. After a weak attempt to locate (ironic that location is in their name but that seems to be a problem for them) a clean out line from the roof vents I was told that the plumbing of our house was too difficult to navigate in order to find where it leaves the house. House was built in the early 80s and there are only 4-5 different floor plans in our whole neighborhood! Either they didn’t bring the proper equipment to do the job and are lazy/incompetent or our entire neighborhood has the most unique
