Drain Mapping & Tracing
Find out exactly where your drains run, where they connect and how deep they are — with an accurate, shareable drainage plan.
Drain tracing locates hidden underground pipe runs and confirms where they connect — vital before building work, when connections are unknown, or when a problem cannot be reached. We use camera-mounted sondes and above-ground detection to trace the route and depth.
The result is an accurate drainage map showing pipe runs, chambers, flow direction and connection points.
Why it matters
Know what is underground
Avoid striking drains during extensions, landscaping or excavation.
Confirm connections
Establish whether drainage is connected to the public sewer, a soakaway or a private system.
Accurate plans
A clear map for builders, architects, surveyors or planning.
How it works
- 01
Insert sonde
A traceable sonde travels the pipe while we follow its signal from the surface.
- 02
Trace route & depth
We mark the run, depth and connection points above ground.
- 03
Produce the map
Findings are drawn up into a clear drainage plan.
Drain Mapping & Tracing — your questions answered
Why would I need drain tracing?
Commonly before an extension or new build, to confirm connections, resolve shared-drainage questions, or locate a pipe that cannot otherwise be reached.
Can you confirm if my drain connects to the public sewer?
Yes — tracing establishes where a run goes and what it connects to.
