Our Drain Tracing Methods

We utilise multiple technologies to ensure accurate and comprehensive results:

CCTV Camera Surveys:
Our advanced CCTV camera systems allow visual inspection of your drainage system from the inside, identifying connections, defects, and blockages.

Sonde Tracing:
We use electronic transmitters (sondes) that are inserted into drains, allowing us to precisely locate and track pipes from above ground.

Colored dye is introduced into the drainage system to confirm connections and identify the flow path of drains and sewers.
