Do You Know Where Your Drains Run?

If you're planning an extension, a pool, new stormwater or a drain repair and you don't know where the existing drains run, they need to be found before anyone starts digging.

Most established properties don't have an accurate plan of their drainage, and lines get altered or built over as the house changes.

Locating & Marking Out

We'll Find Your Drains and Mark Them Out

We track the line from the surface to find where it runs and how deep it is, then mark it out on the ground for you.

Paired with a CCTV camera inspection, you know both where the drain is and what condition it is in, so any excavation goes straight over the problem.

We locate drains for homeowners, builders and renovations across Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Contact us today for a free quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Accurate enough to dig to confidently, both for position and depth. It is a working tool rather than a survey, so we mark the line on the surface and dig carefully at the marks rather than assuming millimetre precision.

  • They answer different questions. The camera tells you the condition of the pipe and how far along a fault is. Locating tells you where that point sits on the surface and how deep. For anything involving excavation you want both.

  • Yes, and it is worth doing before the design is locked in rather than after. Knowing where the sewer and stormwater run can change where footings go and save a great deal of money later.

  • Usually. There is normally an access point somewhere, even if it has been paved or built over, and the camera can be introduced through a fixture where needed. If access is genuinely impossible we will tell you before charging for an attempt.

  • Our locating work is focused on drainage. If you are planning excavation, you should also have the standard utility location process done for power, gas, water and telecommunications before anyone breaks ground.
