Our Tracing Service

Using specialist Sonde equipment, we are able to carry out our drainage and ducting inspections and surveys with the utmost precision. This addition to a camera survey allows us to find the precise depths of drains up to 9 meters underground, and facilitates the accurate tracing of drains and ducting. This allows us to mark their exact locations on the surface and is especially helpful when planning construction works. The Sonde equipment enables us to mark precisely in the drain where the problems are, this helps with the efficiency of any repair work we may carry out.

Fixed Price Drain Tracing

Often, drain surveys are required to diagnose problems within the drains, or as a means to ascertain where drainage runs lay on a property. The Sonde service enhances the accuracy of CCTV camera surveys, and this is why these are quoted on an individual basis. We can provide a range of different styles and types of plan to suit your requirements. If you need detailed engineering drawings or an illustrative diagram of depth, we can provide exactly what you require. Prices for our Sonde service start from £150. You can contact us via telephone, email, online chat or submit a request us to call you back.

Our Range Of Techniques

The Sonde is a specialist piece of equipment that transmits high frequencies, facilitating the accurate tracing of drains, sewers, and ducting. The Sonde accurately pinpoints where damage in the drains is in relation to the surface. As an attachment to our CCTV camera equipment, it is the perfect addition to a CCTV inspection if more precise details are required, such as the depths of particular drains, where they correspond to on the surface, or where digging is required for drain repair work.

Locating Services – Your Key Questions Answered

We are a reliable and professional drainage company, dedicated to drain surveying for both residential and commercial properties. With our 25+ years expertise, we are committed to assisting you with all your drainage needs, no matter how big or small. Our team of skilled and certified engineers are always ready to provide the support you need.

A mapping survey may sound expensive but in reality, it is likely to be more affordable than you think. Prices will vary depending on the complexity and size of the system to be surveyed, but we always ensure that our clients know the cost of a survey before work starts.

A mapping survey will usually take less than an hour to complete. If the drainage system in question is very large or especially complex more time may be required. Our commitment to transparency means we will always inform you of how long we believe the survey will take before we start to send our cameras into the system.

When our drain engineers conduct a drain survey they gain entry into the drainage system via an existing access point which eliminates the need for costly excavations. The operator feeds a hose, camera and floodlights into the pipes and moves the camera through the system. Images are sent up to the engineers on the surface who use that information to produce a clear CCTV inspection report which explains what the survey has found and what action, if any, is required.

Drain Mapping Services

As an extra service, we provide drain tracing and mapping for drains on residential and commercial properties. Additionally to our CCTV camera equipment, we can attach a Sonde device to the end of the camera, which allows us to accurately trace drains on a site and mark them up on the property, aiding construction works or building planning. This gives precise measurements of the drains, both depth and location. This accuracy can help you make informed decisions regarding any groundworks.
