Building or Excavating Near a Sewer Line? We Locate and Map Sydney Water Sewer Assets – Fast, Accurate & Fully Certified
Sewer Pegouts
We Locate and Map Sydney Water Sewer Assets
If you’re planning a renovation, extension, new build or any excavation near a sewer main, you’re legally required to conduct a Sewer Pegout Report. At Plumbchoice, we provide fully certified sewer pegouts across Sydney — accurately locating and mapping Sydney Water sewer infrastructure so your project stays compliant and on schedule.
We work with builders, homeowners, designers and architects, and liaise directly with councils and Sydney Water when needed.
Sewer Pegouts
What is a Sewer Pegout?
A Sewer Pegout Report is a detailed site inspection used to:
- Locate Sydney Water sewer mains
- Determine depth, size, alignment and offset
- Mark out exact positions on-site
- Confirm if your project encroaches on sewer easements or assets
- Provide a document for council, CDC or DA submission
This report is often required when building within 3m of a sewer or before digging, extending or adding slabs near easements.
Who Needs a Pegout?
If a sewer diagram or sewer service plan shows infrastructure near your build area, you likely need a pegout before proceeding.
???? Homeowners planning extensions or additions
????️ Builders & developers constructing near mains
???? Owner-builders seeking CDC approvals
???? Surveyors & architects submitting DA documents
???? Commercial projects near Sydney Water infrastructure
Sewer Pegouts
Our Pegout Process
1. Review of Sydney Water sewer diagram and proposed plans
2. On-site inspection and location of assets (via access points or exposed mains)
3. Measurement of offset, depth and alignment
4. On-site marking of sewer pipe location
5. Preparation of Pegout Report and Compliance Documents
6. Delivery of report for council or certifier submission
We can also advise if building over sewer (BOS) approvals are required and assist with that process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a pegout?
If your project is within 3m of a sewer line or Sydney Water easement, you will likely need a pegout before construction starts.

How quickly can I get a pegout report?
We offer fast turnarounds – typically within 1–3 business days depending on access and scope.
