What Is Drain Mapping

Drain mapping identifies the exact route, layout and depth of your drainage system.

Using CCTV inspection and tracing equipment, we determine:

Pipe routes

Connection points

Junction locations

Depth below ground level

Direction of flow

Likely ownership boundaries

Drainage is often invisible — until it becomes a problem. Mapping removes uncertainty.

Who Needs Drain Mapping

Essential for Homeowners, Developers & Commercial Clients

Renovation & Extension Projects

Before building over or altering a property, it is essential to understand where drainage runs and how it connects.

Commercial Developments

Developers require documented confirmation of drainage layout before handover or further works.

Shared Drainage Investigation

Where multiple properties may share pipework, mapping helps clarify route and responsibility.

Recurring Issues

Understanding the system layout often reveals underlying causes of repeated problems.

Property Purchases

In complex or rural properties, mapping adds clarity beyond a standard survey.

Sam came round and carried out a CCTV survey before we bought our house — turns out the manhole was buried! Without them we’d never have known.
