Finding stormwater pipes

[NCArcher]

Pity you don't live a bit closer, i could come and find it very easily. Any time I dig a hole at home I manage to find either the storm water or sewerage pipes.

The easiest way to locate underground services is to dig a small hole with an excavator. They will hit the services every time
Alternatively you can probe using a small metal rod. Push the rod into the ground till it contacts the service. It is easy to tell when you hit a pipe or conduit and can work well as long as the service isn't too deep. A 'T' handle on the top gives you a bit of purchase and you can twist back and forth to get through the harder bits.

Hire yourself an Eel and attach a webcam and sensor Councils use these now days have for years. When in Tamworth they had to as they were having trouble with so many storm water drains blocking. Bradshaws was the contractor they found so many dead tubes and nodes they had to re-map the whole system. Sewer as well.

If the house was built by the previous owner maybe they have some idea Arthur?

Where your located I'd reckon like my aunts old place at Hawkes Nest also all sand it will go straight into the ground as run off.
