Pipe Tracing & Mapping in Courtenay, BC

Yes — that is the typical job, not the exception. GPR + EM reconstruct the actual routing of water, drainage, electrical, and gas without any prior records. The map we deliver becomes the building's first reliable as-built.

Locating answers 'is it safe to dig here next week.' Mapping answers 'what do we own and where does it run' — a permanent record for renovations, sales, depreciation reports, and future emergencies. Same technologies, deeper deliverable.

Yes — hydronic loops image clearly with the 1.6 GHz antenna. Essential before anchoring anything to a heated slab, and valuable documentation when selling a home with radiant heat.

Increasingly, yes. Knowing actual pipe routing and material lets the depreciation provider model renewal costs on facts instead of assumptions — and our mapping reports attach directly as appendices.

Courtenay sits on Comox Valley alluvium and glacial outwash. Outwash terraces scan deep and clean; river-flat parcels run seasonally wet. Agricultural legacy piping is common across the valley floor. We select antenna frequency to match — and where local ground limits radar depth, we pair GPR with electromagnetic locating, acoustic methods, or tracer gas so the survey objective is met regardless of soil conditions.
