DRAIN TRACING

< Back

Clarity Beneath the Surface


When you're dealing with unknown or undocumented drainage layouts, even simple projects can become risky and expensive. Without proper drain tracing, you risk:


  • Damaging pipes during groundworks, landscaping, or extensions

  • Delays on site due to hidden drainage runs

  • Uncertainty over where waste or surface water drains are connected

  • Repeated blockages or flooding with no known cause

  • Compliance issues during planning, inspections, or construction

  • Wasting time and money on trial-and-error excavations


At Eighty Eight, our drain tracing service gives you a full picture of your drainage layout. We use a combination of:


  • Sonde and receiver equipment to trace drain lines in real-time

  • CCTV surveys to confirm internal condition and connection points

  • Depth measurement to understand levels before excavation or groundwork

  • Mapping of all drainage lines for records, contractors, or planning

  • Non-invasive techniques to reduce disruption and preserve site integrity
