WHAT IS DRAINAGE MAPPING?
Drainage mapping, also known as drain tracing, is the process of identifying the layout, flow direction, and depth of your underground drainage system, without the need for digging. We use advanced CCTV and sonar tools to trace pipe routes from manholes and gullies, locate all entry and exit points, chart flow directions, and measure depths and pipe sizes. Our team also produces clear, CAD-style diagrams and schematic maps for reference, supported by detailed camera footage to verify pipe condition. It’s a precise, mess-free way to fully understand your drainage infrastructure.

WHAT YOUR DRAINAGE MAP INCLUDES AND WHEN TO REQUEST IT
Our drainage maps provide a clear overview of your underground system, showing pipe routes, manholes, gullies, flow direction, and drain depths. Each map includes pipe size, structural condition (with CCTV footage), and repair recommendations if needed. You’ll receive a digital or paper copy—ideal for planning and compliance. Drain mapping is recommended before building works, for planning approvals, regulation checks, property purchases, or when dealing with ongoing drainage issues. It’s also useful when original plans are missing. Avoid surprises—get your system mapped accurately.
