We follow Michael Toepke, a USIC locator, as he completes a typical suburban locate job and details some of the unexpected obstacles and challenges that arise. Join us at the forefront of the world of locating and explore sides of the profession that many are unfamiliar with. Like any job, some of the most important work is in the details. When it comes to locating, it's important to know how to properly assess your surroundings, communicate with everyone around you, understand the type of property you're working on, and keep to a sound routine that has worked in the past. Most importantly, you have to be prepared for unexpected variables.
