I used to operate a drill rig for taking soil and water samples. I learned to read all the utility markings and to spot the telltale markings of previous drill work. I can walk around an urban area and tell you where all the gas stations and drycleaners used to be just based on a look at the pavement. In that sense I can "see" things others can't.

Why do dry cleaners need drill work?

Just fyi, they answered your question further down in the thread without replying to you by accident I think. I saw your question and also wanted to know, just passing that along in case you were still curious lol
