Drainage Survey
If you’re planning to build a new development, you’ll need to know where your sewage and surface water is going to go.
That means a drainage survey will be necessary.
Parish Land Surveys are able to conduct a thorough and accurate drainage survey plotting all manhole positions, pipe invert levels, flow direction and identify whether it's a foul or surface water chamber – contact us for details and prices.
Drainage surveys will be delivered in 2D AutoCAD format, along with PDF’s and site photographs.

What's Involved In A Drainage Survey?
Topographical surveys plot and identify all the features, man-made and natural, within the area of the land surveyed.
Man-made features will include things like manholes and drains, lamp posts, fences, and pathways, whereas the natural features will include trees, ponds, lakes and hedgerows.
A detailed drainage survey goes a bit further, showing not only the position of all the manholes, but their relationship to each other. The manholes will be lifted, and the invert levels of all pipes will be measured and recorded.
Flow direction and pipe sizes will also be marked, and your survey will show which are surface water and which are foul.
If you need a drainage survey for your next project, we’d love to hear from you.
