Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need drain detection?

Drain detection is essential when planning building work to avoid hitting drains, when you have problems but don't know where your drains run, when buying property and wanting to understand the drainage, or when there are disputes about shared drainage responsibilities.

How do you find drains that are buried?

We use a combination of methods. A transmitter sonde is passed through the pipe and its signal is detected from above ground. For non-accessible pipes, dye testing and water flow observation can trace routes. Electronic locators can also detect metal pipes directly.

Can you find plastic drains as well as metal?

Yes. Metal pipes can be traced directly with electromagnetic locators. Plastic pipes are traced using a sonde - a transmitter pushed through the pipe that broadcasts a signal we can follow from the surface. Both methods are non-invasive.

What do I receive from a drain survey?

Depending on the survey level, you receive: surface marking of drain routes on your property, a sketch plan or formal CAD drawing of the drainage layout, notes on pipe material and condition where inspected, and recommendations for any issues found.

How accurate is drain detection?

Using modern sonde and locating equipment, we can typically locate buried drains to within 100-200mm horizontally and estimate depth to within 10-20% accuracy. This is sufficient for planning building works and targeted excavation.
