Why Knowing Your Drains Is Crucial: Avoiding Costly Surprises
Ignoring what's underground can lead to unexpected and expensive problems. You might be planning landscaping, building an extension, or simply trying to fix a recurring blockage. Without an accurate map of your pipes, you're working blind. This lack of information can result in accidental damage to a live drain, building over critical access points, or even connecting new waste pipes incorrectly.

Who We Are
Our Precision Drain Tracing Process: How We Find Your Hidden Pipes
So, how do we reveal your concealed drainage system? Our process is highly effective and non-intrusive. We use state-of-the-art radio frequency (RF) tracing equipment. This involves inserting a small, specialised sonde (a signal emitter) into the drain at a specific access point. This sonde transmits a radio signal, often at frequencies like 33kHz. Above ground, our skilled engineers use a receiver to accurately track the signal's path, allowing us to pinpoint the exact location and depth of your pipes. This detailed process lets us map out the entire network, even if it's buried deep beneath the ground.

Answers to common questions about our Drain Mapping Tracing
Who Benefits from Drain Mapping?
This essential service is vital for a wide range of clients across Angus, Fife, and Perthshire.
What information is included on a final drain map?
A professional drain map from Go-Flow will clearly show the layout of your drainage system. This includes the location and depth of the pipes, the direction of flow, and the positions of manholes and inspection chambers. We will also differentiate between foul water (from toilets and sinks) and surface water (rainwater) systems where applicable.
How accurate is the drain tracing process?
Modern drain tracing technology is incredibly accurate. The combination of a sonde transmitter and an above-ground receiver allows our engineers to pinpoint the location and depth of a drainpipe, often to within a few centimetres. This level of accuracy is essential for any construction or excavation work.
Do I really need a drain survey for my home extension?
Yes, in most cases. If you plan to build over or near a public sewer, your local water authority will require a build-over agreement. A critical part of this is a CCTV drain survey and map to show the location and condition of the existing pipes, ensuring your project won't cause any damage.
How is drain mapping different from just a CCTV survey?
A standard CCTV survey focuses on the internal condition of the pipes—looking for cracks, blockages, or collapses. Drain mapping is the next step. It uses the signal from the camera system to plot the physical location of those pipes under the ground, creating a detailed plan of the entire network. You get both an internal health check and an external location map.
