Directional Drilling Services in Malibu, CA

Welcome to Directional Boring California. If you are looking to run utilities underground without tearing up your property, you have come to the right place. We love working in Malibu. There is truly no other place like it, from the stunning views off PCH to the beautiful homes nestled in the hills.

However, we also know that construction here comes with challenges. The terrain can be rocky, the spaces can be tight, and preserving your landscape is a top priority. That is where we come in. As a licensed General A Engineering Contractor and General B Contractor, we specialize in getting pipes and conduits where they need to go, all while keeping the surface looking untouched.

What is Directional Drilling?

You might hear this called Horizontal Directional Drilling or simply HDD. Whatever you call it, the concept is pretty simple. Instead of digging a long, messy trench across your driveway or garden, we drill a small hole underground.

Think of it like threading a needle beneath the surface. We start at one point, drill a guided path underground, and pop out exactly where we need to be. Then, we pull the pipe or conduit back through that hole.

We use this method for installing:
Water lines
Gas lines
Electrical conduit
Fiber optic cables
* Sewer lines

One thing we love about this service is how clean it is. When we are done, you often can’t even tell we were there.

Why Choose Trenchless in Malibu?

Malibu is unique. You have high-value landscaping, historic trees, and sometimes, very hard rock underground. Digging an open trench isn't just messy; sometimes it is impossible without ruining a retaining wall or a custom driveway.

With Directional Drilling in Malibu, we bypass those obstacles. We can bore right under a driveway, a sidewalk, or even a swimming pool. This is especially useful in Los Angeles County, where space is at a premium and minimizing disruption is key.

Who We Are: Veterans at Your Service

Trust is a big deal in the construction world. We want you to feel comfortable hiring us. We are proud to be a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE).

Serving our country taught us discipline, precision, and the value of hard work. We bring those same values to every 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 SBE)
• SB-Micro (Small Business Micro)
• SB-PW (Small Business Public Works)

We are fully licensed and insured. Because we hold both General A and General B licenses, we understand the "big picture" of your construction project, not just the drilling part.

What Factors Influence the Cost?

We believe in being upfront. "How much does it cost?" is usually the first question we get. The truth is, it varies. Every job site in Malibu has its own personality.

Here are a few things that might change the price:

1. Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is faster than drilling through the solid rock often found in the Malibu hills. Rock drilling requires special diamond-tipped tools and takes a bit more time.
2. Distance and Diameter: Naturally, a longer bore or a wider pipe will require more resources.
3. Obstacles: If we need to navigate around existing utilities (like old sewer lines or gas mains), we take extra time to ensure everything is safe.
4. Location Access: Getting our rig into a tight backyard is different than setting up in an open lot.

If you are curious about numbers, just give us a call. We can look at your specific situation and give you a clear idea of what to expect.

Our Process: Simple and Safe

When you hire us, we don't just show up and start drilling. We plan first.

• Planning: We locate existing utilities so we don't hit anything. Safety is our number one rule.
• The Pilot Bore: We drill a small pilot hole to map out the path.
• Reaming: We make that hole bigger to fit your pipe.
• Pullback: We pull the new pipe through the hole.

It is a smooth process. We keep our work area tidy and communicate with you every step of the way.
