Need to Know Where a Pipe Runs? Here's How Sonde Locating Helps
Rated 4.9 on Google
Knowing exactly where a pipe runs, or where a blockage or defect sits, saves time and avoids unnecessary digging. Sonde locating uses a small transmitter fed into the drain and a receiver above ground to trace the route and confirm depth.
Our engineers will insert the sonde through a rodding point, manhole or during a CCTV survey, then trace its signal from the surface to map out the drain and mark key points. This is especially useful before construction work, or when you need to confirm a drain's route before repairs.
