Who We Are
After 18 years in the construction industry with experience in water, gas and drainage, Tim has seen it all – from electrical cables and gas pipes mere centimetres below the surface, to drains blocked by plastic toy cars, fatbergs, and industrial waste.
“Often, services are where you least expect them to be. I’ve seen cables buried under a bit of mulch, or less than a foot beneath the surface. I’ve seen maps show that an asset should be here, and I find it a metre over there. The only real way to save yourself the financial loss that can come from hitting an important service is to have a professional use their equipment to accurately identify its location.
There is no comparison between the minimal cost and time it takes to get this done, and the high cost of getting it wrong. My advice to anyone who is about to dig underground without first checking for a pipe or cable is - don’t risk it!”
What we do
Did you know that hitting an underground asset, such as a Telstra fibre optic or copper cable, can potentially shut down services to neighbouring suburbs or commercial precincts and leave you at risk of thousands of dollars in damages?
Telstra claims to be hit around 20 times per day. Repairs are costly, so they can and do seek reimbursement.
At Deetect, we help home and business owners, plumbers, landscapers, builders, engineers and fencers protect their livelihood by avoiding hitting and damaging underground assets such as electricity cables, communication cables, sewer and stormwater pipes, and gas pipes.
Using the latest industry specific equipment, we locate and identify underground utilities so you know where it is safe to dig. We are experts in obtaining and interpreting underground asset maps and references, and confirming the exact location of underground services. We also provide water leak detection services, to help you avoid the pain of excessive water bills, and blocked drain investigations using pipe cameras to ensure your pipes can be fixed quickly and accurately.
