Pipe & Drain Locating — Anthony Farac Plumbing, Lane Cove

Pipe & drain locating in Lane Cove — specialist equipment pinpoints pipes and drains before we dig.

Before any excavation job, you need to know exactly where the pipes run — both yours and the neighbour's. Anthony Farac Plumbing uses professional pipe and drain locating equipment to find the line, mark it on the surface, and confirm depth before a spade touches the ground.

We locate underground water mains, sewer lines, stormwater drains, and gas pipes. Accurate locating saves time, protects your landscaping, and means we only dig where needed — no exploratory trenches, no surprise asset strikes, no 'Dial Before You Dig' surprises that hold up a job.

Our locating equipment includes electromagnetic locators for metal pipes, sonde and tracer systems for non-metallic lines (PVC, HDPE), and acoustic leak detection for pressurised services. Where drawings are missing or out of date, we build a map from scratch so you have a reliable record for future work.

Pipe and drain locating is particularly valuable for property extensions, pool and driveway excavation, landscape projects with deep planting, and strata sites preparing for major renovations. Every locate comes with marked positions, depth estimates, and a written summary if required. Call 0405 576 129 to book.
