Default Plastic pipe detector

Hi,

My mate's just bought a brand new house, which has the new plastic
piping for the heating system.

Someone told him you can buy a detector, just like you can for metal
pipes, that can indicate where in the wall this pipe is.
- i.e. so he can avoid drilling into it.

Does such a device exist? If so, where might he get one.
Thanks,

Chris.

Haven't seen one for this purpose, but some of the metal detectors on the
market using magneto-inferometry (or something like that) have a water
detection mode which might work
