Really any trade. I don't want to find the main shutoff to your house but if you want to get the water out sometimes we need to dig random holes in your front yard to find it.

metal detectors work wonders for finding gates! that, and a long poking-stick to make sure it's the right thing before pulling up the sod

My cleanouts are PVC. All you get is the stick. I've learned that as soon as they're located, put a couple bricks and a lawn ornament on top.

Edit: misread... you can definitely find the shutoff with a metal detector. Mine will twist your ankle though, no mystery where it is.
