Advanced Underground UT LO Inc.

The company says it has been locating since 2001, and the state lists Shawn Rushing as a principal since 2007, with Micah Rushing and Kali Rushing added in 2025. It advertises itself as family-owned and runs a crew of four to six. Public-works filings run from 2009 into 2026, mostly as a subcontractor, for agencies including Washington State Enterprise Services, WSDOT, Corrections, the King County Housing Authority, Clark County PUD, the Port of Ridgefield, Spokane Community College and Nespelem School District. Its list also includes floor and interior scanning, camera inspections, drone video and radiant floor heating locating. Most of this work comes through general contractors, not straight from homeowners. Homeowners do have reasons to call: mapping buried lines before buying a rural property, finding an old oil tank, or tracing radiant heat tubing in a slab before cutting into it. A broken pipe or bad circuit still needs a plumber or electrician once the problem is found. Advanced Underground finds it; someone else fixes it. On a Spokane home, the repair-or-replace decision for a leaking water line or failed buried cable comes down to what's actually wrong and where. An older South Hill or Spokane Valley lot may have a service line nobody has seen in decades. Without a precise location, the safe default is often to trench and replace the whole run, which means tearing up a yard, driveway or basement floor. A located leak or fault can turn that into a spot repair. Before deciding, get the problem pinned down, then ask the plumber or electrician whether the rest of the line is worth keeping. Frost depth and spring ground conditions here also make careful digging matter.
