Drain Mapping Locating in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire

We don't believe in 'hit and hope' digging. Instead, our team uses something called Sonde and Trace technology. Imagine a small transmitter (the sonde) that we travel through your pipes using our high-definition CCTV cameras. While it moves underground, we use a handheld receiver on the surface to pinpoint its exact location and depth. It's like having a GPS for your drainage system. This allows us to map out the entire route, identify invert levels, and even find those hidden manholes that have been buried under layers of patio or turf for decades. By the time we're finished, you'll have a clear, accurate picture of your network, giving your builders or architects the precise data they need to keep your project moving.

If you're planning to build within three metres of a public sewer in Cambridgeshire, you'll likely need a formal build-over agreement. Local authorities and water companies are strict about this because they need to ensure their pipes aren't damaged or made inaccessible by your new walls. We specialise in providing the detailed schematic drawings and pipe charting required for these applications. We'll check the condition of the pipes before you start and provide the technical reports that satisfy the planners. It's about more than just paperwork; it's about protecting your property's value and ensuring that your new extension doesn't cause a structural headache down the line.
