Knowledge is Power When It Comes to Your Drainage

Why accurate drain tracing matters

Accurate drain tracing plays a critical role in maintaining the efficiency and functionality of your commercial property’s drainage system. Without knowing the exact layout of your pipes, identifying and resolving issues can be a time-consuming and costly process.

Drain tracing helps pinpoint the location of hidden drains, identify blockages, and assess the condition of your system without invasive digging. This is particularly important for businesses like restaurants, schools, and warehouses, where disruptions can significantly impact operations.

At Centra Drains, our drain tracing services utilise cutting-edge technology to deliver precise results. By understanding the layout of your drainage system, we help you plan for maintenance, make informed decisions during repairs, and avoid potential hazards.

Drain tracing is a non-invasive technique used to map and identify the route, depth, and characteristics of underground drainage systems.

What does a report include?

A commercial drain tracing report provides a detailed overview of your drainage system, helping you understand its layout, condition, and any issues present. It typically includes a comprehensive map of the pipework, pinpointing locations of blockages, damage, or misalignments. The report may also highlight the depth and size of pipes, the material used, and any access points for future maintenance. Additionally, recommendations for repairs or improvements are included, offering a roadmap for maintaining an efficient drainage network.

  • A site map with a schematic drawing of your drainage system.
  • Manhole record cards showing images of each access point.
  • An asset register detailing the location, size, access point and use of each drain section.
