 If you were building an extension or you wanted to connect to existing pipe work for a new drainage connection or there was other work like deep excavation going on and you needed to map out the existing pipes so you do not cause any damage to them as your liable for any damage you cause to any gas, electric or water pipes.

Any contractor doing any type of excavation work's should be NRSWA accredited and have public liability insurance.
