Property-Wide Utility Locating & Mapping for Port Orchard Properties

Tracing and documenting the private water mains, irrigation, drains, fire lines and other buried utilities on a commercial or multi-family site, so the next project or emergency starts with a drawing.

Around Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road the property utility mapping call usually begins with a property with no drawings of its private. We quantify, trace, locate and fix, in that order, through slick Kitsap Formation clay on the hillsides, and the board or owner gets depth estimates along with condition notes for the water system.

How it works on a Port Orchard site

Property utility mapping near Mile Hill Drive typically produces three things: condition notes for the water system, depth estimates, and marked lines on the ground. To get them we mark at waterfront commercial on Bay Street, trace through outwash on the Sedgwick and Bethel flats, and assess before the site is handed back.

When a new owner or manager taking over a at condo complexes above Sinclair Inlet, the job is the same shape every time: mark, trace, assess. What changes in Port Orchard is the ground, outwash on the Sedgwick and Bethel flats, and the access across Mile Hill Drive. What doesn't change is that nothing gets dug until it's located.

What's under Port Orchard's larger sites

Port Orchard's hillside condo sites send leak water downslope into neighbors' lots, while the South Kitsap retail and park sites on the Bethel and Sedgwick flats sit on outwash that never shows a wet spot. Around the Port Orchard marina area the property utility mapping work we do most often is on waterfront commercial on Bay Street, and clay that moves on the Bay Street slopes decides how the excavation goes.

Port Orchard's steep downtown lots are where water surfaces farthest from the break; a leak at the top of a Bay Street hillside lot can show up at a retaining wall two houses down.

We've done property utility mapping on apartment communities off Mile Hill near Bethel Road where the only sign was a property with recurring 'where is the shutoff', and on waterfront commercial on Bay Street by the Port Orchard marina area where a site about to start a renovation, paving had gone on for a season. Clay that moves on the Bay Street slopes hid both until we trace.

One crew, start to finish

Managers of retail along Bethel and Sedgwick in Port Orchard use us for property utility mapping because one crew does the locate, the excavation in peat in the Long Lake bottoms, the repair and the restoration, and because we answer at night. A quick run across the Sinclair Inlet bridge, so an emergency near Bay Street doesn't wait for a crew from across the Sound.

FAQ

Property-Wide Utility Locating & Mapping in Port Orchard: questions

Is property utility mapping on retail along Bethel and Sedgwick near Sedgwick Road something you do?
Yes. A property with no drawings of its private is the usual reason we're called there, and we mark the same way on every Port Orchard site.
Will tenants or residents at apartment communities off Mile Hill be disrupted?
Minimally. We mark with the system pressurized, schedule shutoff windows with the manager, and secure the work area in outwash on the Sedgwick and Bethel flats so people can get around it.
Who's responsible past the the City of Port Orchard or West Sound Utility District master meter?
The owner or association. The City of Port Orchard or West Sound Utility District's responsibility ends at the master meter; the private mains, branches, irrigation and drains under waterfront commercial on Bay Street are the site's, and property utility mapping is how they get sorted out.
How much of retail along Bethel and Sedgwick gets opened?
One spot at the mark. We mark first so the excavation through peat in the Long Lake bottoms near the Port Orchard marina area is a pit, not a trench across the site.
Can the property utility mapping report support a utility bill adjustment?
That's one of its purposes. It documents the loss, the location under apartment communities off Mile Hill and the repair, which is what the City of Port Orchard or West Sound Utility District typically asks for.
