Trenchless Piercing
At MCM Plumbing, we provide specialized trenchless lateral installation services designed to protect your landscaping, driveways, and structures. In many cases, we use pneumatic piercing tools to install gas, water, and electrical lines across short spans—typically up to 80 feet—without disturbing the surface.
Instead of digging long trenches, our crew bores clean paths underground using air-driven tools. As a result, we can connect homes and businesses to main utility lines with minimal excavation. This approach is ideal for customers who want a faster, cleaner, and less invasive solution.
A Less Disruptive Alternative to Trenching
Traditional trenching can cause major disruption to lawns, pavement, and surrounding features. However, our trenchless piercing method avoids that damage by creating a compact borehole beneath the surface.
Consequently, we can run water, gas, fiber, or electrical conduit beneath roads, sidewalks, and buildings—without breaking up what’s on top. In addition, this approach helps reduce the time and cost associated with post-project cleanup.
Complete Trenchless Pipe Piercing Technology
We begin each project by selecting a piercing tool that matches the pipe’s diameter. Then, our team carefully digs two small pits—one for entry and one for exit. Using compressed air, we guide the tool along a straight path underground.
Once the tool reaches the other side, we install the pipe or conduit through the new bore. For longer runs (typically over 50 feet), we may use a stitching method to connect multiple short sections while avoiding conflicts with existing utilities.
Thanks to our efficient workflow, a small four-person crew can complete over 200 feet of pipe installation per day. This makes it an ideal solution for tight urban spaces and residential lots. Moreover, bore sizes from 1.75” to 3” provide flexible options for various service types.
