Expert Directional Drilling in El Monte, California

Hi there. If you are looking for a way to install underground utilities without tearing up the entire street or destroying a beautiful landscape, you have come to the right place. At Directional Boring California, we specialize in getting the job done cleanly and efficiently.

We know that construction in El Monte and the greater Los Angeles area can be a headache. The traffic is heavy, the streets are busy, and nobody wants a massive trench blocking their driveway. That is why we love what we do. We use Directional Drilling to place pipes and conduits underground with minimal surface disruption.

What is Directional Drilling?

You might hear people call it Horizontal Directional Drilling or simply HDD. Think of it like threading a needle, but underground. Instead of digging a deep trench from point A to point B, we drill a precise path underneath obstacles.

We can bore under:
Driveways and parking lots
Busy roads and highways
Rivers or storm drains
Landscaped yards and sidewalks

It keeps the surface looking great while we do the heavy lifting below. As a development and engineering company, we handle everything from the planning stages to the final pullback of the pipe.

Why Choose Directional Boring California?

Trust is huge in our line of work. You need a team that understands the complex soil conditions in El Monte and knows how to navigate the maze of existing underground pipes.

We are fully licensed as a General A Engineering Contractor and a General B Contractor in California. This means we understand the big picture of engineering and construction, not just the drilling part.

We are also proud to be a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE).

Our military background means we bring discipline, precision, and integrity to every single job site. In addition to being a DVBE, we hold several other certifications that show our commitment to excellence and compliance:

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

When you hire us, you are hiring a team that cares about safety and getting it right the first time.

How the Process Works

If you are new to this, don't worry. We make it simple. Here is a quick look at how we handle a Directional Drilling project:

1. Planning: We scan the ground to find existing wires or pipes. We plan the path carefully.
2. Pilot Hole: We drill a small hole from the start point to the end point. We steer the drill head underground.
3. Reaming: We make the hole bigger so the new pipe fits easily.
4. Pullback: We pull the new pipe or conduit back through the hole.
5. Cleanup: We patch up the small entry and exit pits. It’s like we were never there.

Costs and Factors to Consider

One question we get asked a lot is, "How much does it cost?"

Honesty is our policy, so we will tell you straight: it depends. Every job in Los Angeles is a little different. Here are a few things that might change the price of your project:

• Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is faster than drilling through solid rock.
• Length and Diameter: Longer bores or wider pipes take more time and resources.
• Location: Working in a tight alley in El Monte requires different setup time than a wide-open field.
• Obstacles: If we need to steer around a lot of existing utilities, we go slower to ensure safety.

However, often you'll find that Directional Drilling saves money in the long run. Why? because you don't have to pay to repave a whole parking lot or replant an entire garden after we finish.
