Why Drain Mapping is Essential
Knowing the location, depth and connectivity of underground drainage pipes can be crucial for property management, construction and maintenance projects.
Our professional drain tracing service uses specialist technology to establish the route of your underground drainage system, helping overcome the uncertainty caused by outdated, incomplete or non-existent drainage plans.
Without accurate drain mapping, there is a risk of damaging existing drainage infrastructure during excavation or construction, potentially resulting in unnecessary repairs, delays and additional costs.
A professional drainage mapping survey can provide the information required to plan work with greater confidence, whether you're preparing for an extension, carrying out groundworks, installing new utilities or investigating persistent drainage problems.
Our Drain Tracing Technology
- We use specialist equipment and proven methods to accurately trace drainage systems and establish how different parts of the network connect.
- Sonde and Transmitter Tracing: A small radio transmitter, known as a sonde, can be passed through the drainage system, often alongside CCTV drainage inspection equipment. As the sonde travels through the pipework, our engineer uses specialist locating equipment at ground level to trace its route and establish the position and depth of the drain. This allows us to accurately identify underground pipe runs without unnecessary excavation.
- Detailed Drainage Mapping Surveys: Information collected during the survey can be used to establish important details about your drainage network, including pipe runs, depths, junctions and manhole locations. This provides a much clearer understanding of how the drainage system is configured and can assist with future planning, maintenance, construction and repair work.
We are equipped to provide drain mapping services for everything from smaller residential properties to more complex commercial and industrial sites across Cheshire and Greater Manchester.
