Directional Drilling Services in Burbank, CA

If you live or work in Burbank, you know it’s a busy place. Between the studios, the businesses, and the beautiful neighborhoods, there isn’t much room for disruption. That is why traditional trenching—digging big, open ditches—is often a headache nobody wants.

At Directional Boring California, we offer a smarter solution. We specialize in Directional Drilling (also known as Horizontal Directional Drilling or HDD). This method allows us to install utilities, conduits, and pipes underground without tearing up the surface. Whether you need to go under a driveway, a busy street, or a manicured garden, we can get the job done while leaving the landscape looking exactly how we found it.

What is Directional Drilling?

Think of it as surgery for the ground. Instead of cutting the whole patient open, we make a small incision and work from the inside.

Here is how it generally works:
1. Pilot Hole: We drill a small hole from the surface at an angle.
2. Steering: We steer the drill bit underground horizontally along a planned path.
3. Pull Back: Once we reach the other side, we pull the pipe or conduit back through the hole.

It sounds simple, but it requires serious skill and the right equipment. We love this method because it saves time and usually saves money on restoration costs. You won’t have to pay someone to repave a parking lot or replant a garden after we leave.

Why Choose a Veteran-Owned Business?

We are proud of the work we do, but we are just as proud of who we are. Directional Boring California is a licensed General A Engineering Contractor and General B Contractor. This means we are fully licensed by the state to handle heavy engineering and general building projects.

Beyond our licenses, our background sets us apart. We are a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE).

We also hold several other important certifications:
SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business)
PDBE (Port of Long Beach Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)
SB-Micro (Small Business Micro)
SB-PW (Small Business Public Works)

Why does this matter to you? Because the military taught us discipline, integrity, and attention to detail. When we say we will be there, we are there. When we give you a quote, we stick to our word. In the construction world, we know that reliability is everything.

Let’s Talk About Cost

This is the question everyone asks first: "How much does it cost?"

To be honest, it is hard to give a flat rate without seeing the job site. However, we want to be transparent about what drives the price up or down.

Factors that influence the cost include:
Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is faster (and cheaper) than drilling through solid rock.
Length and Diameter: Longer bores or wider pipes require bigger equipment and more time.
* Location: Obstacles like existing utilities, heavy traffic, or tight spaces can make the job more complex.

Even with these variables, Horizontal Directional Drilling is often more cost-effective than trenching when you factor in the cost of repairing concrete, asphalt, or landscaping.
