Many times every year our company has been called in at the back of another drainage company where they have been unable to sort the problem/clear the drain, on some of these occasions there has been a buried manhole/trap/access point, with sonar equipment normally attached to the end of the jetting nozzle we can trace the pipe and the location of the buried item which is causing the problem. Sometimes it has been a garden shed or a slab or a conservatory etc covering a manhole/trap/or access point.

With locating the problem by sonar costly dig ups and lengthy times on jobs can be kept to a minimum.
