“We thought Glen and Michelle were fantastic. Great communication prior to, and after service. As we don’t live where we had work done (yet) they took photos for us. We found their quote to be reasonably priced. We were delighted that we heard about them, and would not hesitate in recommending them in connecting your sewer boundary pit to sewer line, or other associated work.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Discover more about our directional drilling services and the benefits of this drilling solution with answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
How to determine if trenching or Directional Drilling is the best option for a project?
Trenching is a common technique for installing pipes and other utilities and minor plumbing repairs. Cables and pipes are laid down and buried after a trench is dug. It is often cheaper, however, it isn’t always the ideal solution for every job. It can be a time-consuming process and less cost effective because of the disruption to the surrounding area and the resulting restoration needed. Trenching is a good option for installing pipes or other facilities in an open area with minimal existing infrastructure and where minimal surface disturbance isn’t a priority.
How does trenching contribute to the efficiency of utility placement?
Trenching contributes to the efficiency of utility placement by providing a controlled and organised method for excavating the ground to accommodate underground utilities. By creating trenches of the appropriate depth and width, trenching allows for the precise installation of utility lines, such as water pipes, sewer lines, electrical conduits and telecommunications cables. This systematic approach minimises disruptions to the surrounding area, reduces the need for extensive manual labor, and speeds up the installation process, ultimately streamlining utility placement and enhancing project efficiency.
