About - Piedmont Locating Services

Hi, my name’s Jay Hubbard, and for more than half my life I’ve been locating the underground utilities that keep our world running. On November 1, 2010, Piedmont Locating Services was established, and after fifteen years, it remains a one-person operation by choice.

My career began in early 1992, when I located cables for a contractor working with Southern Bell in Atlanta, Georgia. The move to Atlanta didn’t work out, so I returned to North Carolina and continued a career spanning the next eighteen years, working for 811 contractors and a handful of civil engineering companies, mapping utilities for highway construction projects.

You’ve invested a significant amount of money in your home, but there’s always something to maintain, repair, or upgrade. When that something requires digging, I’m here to help make your task as safe and trouble-free as possible.
