GPR Concrete Scanning & Pricing

GPR Concrete Scanning – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How deep can GPR scan a concrete slab?
A: With our advanced GPR equipment, we can scan up to 34 inches deep, depending on the concrete’s density, moisture, and reinforcement layout. This extended range allows us to identify embedded objects in thicker slabs that standard systems can’t reach.

Q2: What kinds of embedded items can concrete scanning detect?
A: GPR can locate rebar, post-tension (PT) cables, metallic and some non-metallic conduits, voids, and other subsurface features in concrete slabs, walls, and elevated decks.

Q3: Why do I need concrete scanning before coring, cutting, or drilling?
A: Scanning prevents costly and dangerous strikes to PT cables, rebar, or live conduits — protecting your team, your structure, and your project timeline.

Q4: How long does a concrete scan take and when will I receive the report?
A: There isn’t a strict time limit per scan — every area is scanned thoroughly to ensure accuracy and jobsite safety first. You’ll receive a detailed PDF report with photos and findings within 24 hours of service.

Q5: Does GPR work for elevated decks, walls, or ceilings?
A: GPR works effectively on exposed concrete slabs, walls, and ceilings, but it cannot see through metal decking or steel plates. For elevated decks with metal pan, we evaluate access points or alternative methods to confirm embedded features safely.

Q6: Is concrete scanning with GPR safe?
A: Yes. GPR is a non-destructive, radiation-free technology that uses ultra-low-energy radar signals — completely safe for workers and building occupants.

Q7: What are the limitations of GPR concrete scanning?
A: GPR performance can be affected by metal decking, dense reinforcement, very thick slabs beyond 34 inches, or high moisture levels. These factors are always noted in your report, and we adapt scanning methods for the most accurate results.

Q8: How much does concrete scanning cost in the Boston / New England area?
A: Pricing depends on location, project size, and scope of work. Our half-day GPR scanning service ranges from $1,000 to $1,500, and full-day service ranges from $2,000 to $3,000. Each quote is customized to your project for precise, safe results and full documentation within 24 hours.
All pricing includes on-site markings, high-resolution photos, and a detailed PDF report — no hidden fees, just dependable service from a veteran-owned company you can trust.

Q9: How soon will I receive my report?
A: You’ll receive a complete PDF report with photos, markings, and findings within 24 hours of service — often sooner for smaller jobs.

Q10: Do you work weekends or provide rush service?
A: Yes — same-day and weekend service are available for urgent or time-sensitive projects anywhere in New England.
