Directional Drilling Services in West Hollywood, CA

Welcome to Directional Boring California. If you are looking to get utilities from Point A to Point B without tearing up the street, you have come to the right place. We specialize in Directional Drilling in West Hollywood and the greater Los Angeles area.

We know West Hollywood. It is a busy, vibrant place. Between the traffic on Santa Monica Boulevard and the beautiful landscaping in the residential neighborhoods, the last thing anyone wants is a big, open trench cutting across a road or driveway. That is where we come in.

We use a method called Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). It’s a cleaner, smarter way to install underground pipes and conduits. We are a licensed General A Engineering Contractor and General B Contractor here in California. This means we handle the heavy lifting with the precision you expect from a professional engineering team.

What is Directional Drilling?

Think of directional drilling as "keyhole surgery" for the ground. In the old days, if you needed to run a water line, sewer pipe, or fiber optic cable, you had to dig a long ditch. That meant ruining sidewalks, destroying lawns, and blocking traffic.

With HDD, we don't do that.

Instead, we drill a small pilot hole from the surface. Then, we steer a drill bit underground, horizontally, to reach the destination. Once we reach the other side, we pull the pipe back through that hole.

Here is why people in West Hollywood love this method:

• Less Mess: We leave your hardscape and landscaping alone.
• Less Traffic: We don’t need to shut down the whole street.
• Faster Completion: Often, we can finish the job much quicker than traditional digging.
• Versatility: We can drill under driveways, pools, existing buildings, and busy roads.

Why Trust Directional Boring California?

Choosing a contractor can be stressful. We get that. You want someone who is going to show up, do the job right, and be honest with you.

We are proud to be a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). Our background in the military taught us discipline, integrity, and attention to detail. When we say we will be there, we will be there.

In addition to being a DVBE, we hold several other important certifications that highlight our commitment to excellence and compliance:

• SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business)
• PDBE (Port of Long Beach/LA Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)
• SB-Micro (Small Business Micro)
• SB-PW (Small Business Public Works)

We bring that same level of dedication to every job site, whether it is a small residential project or a larger municipal job in Los Angeles.

Factors That Affect Directional Drilling Costs

One of the first questions we usually get is, "How much does it cost?"

It’s a fair question. However, because every site is different, there isn't a single flat rate. But we can tell you what we look at when we give you a quote.

Here are a few things that influence the price:

1. Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is easier than drilling through solid rock. West Hollywood has a mix of soil types, so we assess the ground first.
2. Distance and Diameter: Naturally, a longer bore or a wider pipe will take more time and resources.
3. Existing Utilities: We have to navigate around other pipes and wires already in the ground. If the area is crowded with utilities, we have to go slower to be safe.
4. Location Access: How easy is it to get our rig onto the property?

We believe in being upfront. We will look at your specific project and give you a clear idea of what to expect. No hidden surprises.

Our Process: Simple and Safe

When you hire us for Horizontal Directional Drilling, we follow a strict safety protocol. We treat your property as if it were our own.

First, we plan the bore path. We use locating equipment to ensure we know exactly where we are going. We identify existing utilities to avoid any accidents. Then, we set up our rig and drill the pilot hole. We monitor the drill head electronically the entire time. Finally, we pull the product (the pipe or conduit) back through.

It sounds technical, but for you, it just means the job gets done with minimal disruption to your day.
