Drain mapping & tracing
Leeds & West Yorkshire
Not sure where your drains run? Using CCTV camera footage combined with specialist drain-tracing equipment, we locate, map and record your full drainage network — producing accurate as-built drawings.

Drain mapping combines CCTV camera inspection with electronic drain-tracing technology. We push the camera through your drains while a surface-level locator device tracks its position — building a precise picture of where every pipe run travels.
The result is an accurate as-built drawing showing pipe routes, depths, access points, connections and junctions — information that older property records rarely contain.
What you receive
- Accurate plan drawing of your full drainage network
- Pipe depths and routes from surface markers
- Location of all manholes, junctions and access points
- Condition notes (combined with CCTV survey)
- Digital and printed formats available
- Report suitable for planning applications and legal disputes
When you need drain mapping
Planning extensions
Building regs require you to know where drains run before building over or near them. Our drain mapping produces the plans you need.
Boundary & drainage disputes
Is your neighbour's drain running through your land? Our as-built drawings provide independent evidence for solicitors and surveyors.
Property development
We map drainage systems for developers buying older properties where original drainage plans are unavailable or incomplete.
Maintenance planning
Commercial landlords and property managers use our drain maps to plan maintenance, understand which sections need attention and what's Yorkshire Water's responsibility.
