Sewer & Drain Line Locating in White Rock, BC
Serving White Rock and the Metro Vancouver region
CCTV and sonde-based location of buried sewer laterals, storm drains, and building DWV systems across BC.
Sewer and drain lines are among the most difficult utilities to locate because they are typically non-metallic (PVC, ABS, or clay) and flow under gravity rather than pressure. Conventional electromagnetic locating methods do not work on non-conductive sewer pipes. We use a combination of CCTV camera inspection with an integrated sonde transmitter that is pushed through the pipe, broadcasting a traceable signal to the surface receiver. This method provides continuous tracking of the pipe route and depth. For larger diameter sewers and storm drains, we deploy a crawler camera with a high-power sonde for tracing depths exceeding 3 metres. The sonde tracking provides real-time GPS coordinates of the pipe alignment, and the CCTV footage documents pipe condition at every point.
Benefits
- Locates non-metallic sewer and drain pipes that EM methods miss
- CCTV footage provides simultaneous pipe condition assessment
- Sonde tracking provides continuous depth and alignment data
- Documents blockages, breaks, and root intrusion during location survey
- GPS coordinates for excavation targeting
