How No–Dig Technology Works

Trenchless methods use small access pits (typically just two: one at each end of the run) instead of a continuous trench. Specialized equipment then installs or replaces pipe underground with minimal surface impact.

Our Trenchless Methods

• Directional Drilling

  Also called HDD, directional drilling uses a steerable drill head and reamer to bore a pilot hole and pull conduit under obstacles—roads, driveways, landscaping—without open trenching.

  

  

  
  

• Pipe Thrust Boring

  For shorter installs (under 80 feet), our hydraulic thrust boring machine pushes pipe straight through soil or rock with controlled force—ideal under sidewalks, curbs, or concrete slabs.

• Piercing Tools

  Pneumatic piercing tools create a compact bore for smaller diameter pipes (1.75″–8″) up to 100 feet long. Minimal pits and precision make it perfect for utility lines to the house.

  

  

  

  
  

• Pipe Bursting

  Our flagship trenchless sewer replacement. A bursting head fractures the old pipe and pulls in seamless, root-resistant HDPE pipe in one pass—no continuous trench needed.

  

  

  

  
  

  Benefits of Pipe Bursting:

  • Up to 40% cost savings vs. open trenching
  • Two small access pits — no landscape destruction
  • Seamless HDPE with lifetime warranty

  How It Works:

  1. Clean & clear: Thread cable and clear obstructions.
  2. Bursting head: Pull steel cone to fracture old pipe.
  3. Pipe pull-in: New HDPE follows the bursting head.
  4. Hydraulic power: Compact pump drives the puller.

Why Choose Trenchless?

• Minimal property impact: Preserve lawns, driveways, flowerbeds & hardscapes.
• Faster completion: Jobs finish in days, not weeks.
• Lower restoration costs: No major excavations to backfill & reseed.
• Long-lasting results: Durable, leak-proof HDPE and precision-drilled conduits.
