Pipe Locating Melbourne Exact Position & Depth

Underground Pipe Detection — No Guesswork, No Damage

Digging blind costs money. Hitting a live drain costs more. Our pipe locating service uses professional-grade electronic detection to trace the exact route and depth of underground drains, sewer lines, stormwater pipes and utilities before any excavation begins.

We locate pipes on residential properties, commercial sites and new development blocks across Melbourne's South East — Ringwood, Knox, Maroondah, Yarra Valley, Boronia, Bayswater, Lilydale and surrounds.

When Do You Need Pipe Locating?

• Before excavation or landscaping: avoid hitting live drains, water mains or conduits buried below ground.
• Before drilling or boring: confirm underground clearances before any horizontal directional drilling.
• New builds and extensions: map all existing services so builders and engineers can design around them.
• Investigating blocked or damaged pipes: combine with CCTV camera to see and locate the fault in a single visit.
• Pre-purchase property inspections: know exactly what is buried under the yard before settlement.
• Easements and boundary disputes: confirm pipe positions for council submissions or legal records.

Equipment We Use

• Electronic Sonde Transmitter: inserted through the drain and pushed with a camera rod, transmitting a signal we track from the surface to map exact route and depth.
• Integrated CCTV + Locate: camera and sonde run simultaneously — live video of condition plus a marked surface position in one call-out.

What You Get After the Job

We mark the ground with spray paint or flags and can provide a written depth and location report on request. Reports are suitable for engineers, builders, and council submissions. No extras, no hidden charges — one flat fee for the job.
