As the holidays approach, few property owners, including both homeowners and business owners, are starting new construction projects. The holidays are busy enough. Many people don’t want to have a construction project to deal with as well. Homeowners, especially, don’t want their house to be a “construction zone” when they are celebrating the holidays, so many will wait until after the first of the year to start new improvement projects.
However, putting off a project doesn’t mean you can’t start getting your ducks in a row now. If your upcoming construction project will require you to have a ground penetrating radar (GPR) scan done, now is the time to schedule a company that provides GPR scanning services in Temecula to come out to your property.
Why might you need GPR scanning services in Temecula? If your project requires any sort of excavation, you will need to ensure that there are no utility lines in the area in which you want to dig. To locate buried utility lines, you will want to call in a company like Enhanced Scanning that provides private utility line locating using GPR. Then, if any utility lines are discovered, you can come up with a plan to relocate them or change your excavation plans to work around them.
If your project involves disturbing an existing concrete slab or concrete wall, a GPR scan can show you where the reinforcing elements, such as rebar or post-tensioned cables, are located so they can be avoided, in addition to locating any utility lines that are embedded in the concrete.
Having a GPR scan completed involves no demolition or digging. It is a non-destructive process that can be completed in a manner of hours (depending on the size of the area being scanned, of course). The only thing you will have to do is make sure that the area in question is accessible to the technician completing the GPR scan.
Getting a GPR scan done now allows you to “hit the ground running” on your project at the start of the new year. Specifically, it can help you put a plan in place so you can avoid any delays once the project starts. Too many property owners wait until the last minute to find out if any hazards are in the way of the renovation plans (or they fail to scan for hazards at all). Had they known about the hazards before the construction crew was ready to start excavation or demolition, they could have made plans to move or work around them.
Contact a company like Enhanced Scanning to find out more about their GPR scanning services in Temecula, or to schedule a time for one of their technicians to come out an scan your property.
