About this service
A practical approach to pipe locating & line tracing.
Underground drainage lines are not always where a property owner expects them to be. Serpent Drain offers non-invasive pipe locating and line tracing to map a line's path and identify the location of a problem.
Accurate line information can support targeted repairs and planning before landscaping, excavation, renovation, or construction. It also helps reduce unnecessary property disturbance and the risk of an accidental line strike.
