Knowing Exactly What's Under Your Property

Many properties, especially older ones, have drainage layouts that were never properly documented or have changed hands through several renovations. Brown Arm Boys Drainage Brisbane provides drain mapping across Brisbane, using CCTV equipment and locating tools to trace exactly where pipes run, how they connect, and their depth, producing a clear record for future reference. It's a service that pairs naturally with CCTV drain inspections, since both rely on the same underlying equipment to build an accurate picture of the system. If you need a clear map of your drainage before renovating, extending, or troubleshooting a recurring issue, call (07) 3063 6032.

Why Mapping Matters

A clear map of a drainage system saves time and guesswork on every job that follows.

Accurate Locating

We trace pipe runs using specialist equipment rather than relying on old plans or guesswork. This is particularly useful where previous renovations may have altered the original layout.

Depth and Connection Details

Mapping records not just where pipes run but how deep they sit and where they connect. This information matters for anyone digging, landscaping or planning further work nearby.

Useful Before Renovating

Knowing the exact drainage layout avoids accidentally damaging pipework during construction or landscaping. It also helps identify whether existing capacity will suit planned changes.

A Record You Can Keep

The finished map gives you a permanent reference for the property, useful for future maintenance, sale, or any tradesperson working on site later.

Questions we get asked

Mapping is useful when the existing layout is unknown, when planning renovations or landscaping near underground pipework, or when troubleshooting a recurring drainage issue. It replaces guesswork with an accurate record of what's actually there.

A camera is run through the pipe while a locating device tracks its position and depth from above ground. The resulting data is used to produce an accurate layout of the system.

Yes, the same camera pass used for mapping will typically reveal any visible cracks, blockages or root intrusion along the way. This means a mapping job often flags issues worth addressing separately.
