Trenchless Pipe Thrust Installation – Efficient No-Dig Utility Solutions
At MCM Plumbing, we specialize in trenchless pipe thrust installation for underground utility systems. This no-dig method allows us to install water, sewer, and conduit lines beneath roads, driveways, or landscapes—without disturbing the surface. If you’re looking for a minimally invasive solution, this is it.
What Is Trenchless Pipe Thrusting?
Trenchless pipe thrusting is a hydraulic method that pushes rods underground using guided force. Our technicians position and advance rod segments through soil or rock with precise control. Because the system operates from small entry and exit pits, it eliminates the need for open trenching. Additionally, we often pair this method with pipe bursting or horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to complete complex utility crossings.
Benefits of Pipe Thrust Installation

- Excellent for difficult terrain – Penetrates a range of ground conditions, including clay and rock
- Lower restoration costs – Preserves existing pavement, landscaping, and hardscape
