Cable Fault Finding

Advanced Non-Destructive Inc. (ANDI) offers Cable Fault Finding service to identify electrical faults in underground electrical cables. Using a transmitter to put a dedicated signal on a suspected ground fault cable, the ANDI  team will trace the cable path to quickly and efficiently locate conductor and sheath (earth return) faults and estimate the depth of the cable/fault. We will mark any located fault with paint and/or flags to show you exactly where to dig.  The process can be applied to cable runs of any length.

Our Cable Fault Finding service identifies the precise location of the fault.  Save time and money by only digging where you need. Know the cable depth to better dig safely with less potential for cable damage.
