Directional Drilling Services in Rosemead, CA

Welcome to Directional Boring California. If you are looking for a way to install underground utilities without tearing up your property, you have come to the right place. We specialize in Directional Drilling and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) right here in Rosemead and the greater Los Angeles area.

We know that construction projects can feel overwhelming. There is noise, dirt, and usually a lot of stress. Our goal is to take the stress out of the equation. We are a development and engineering company that puts people first. Whether you are a homeowner, a business owner, or a city planner, we are here to help you get connected underground without ruining what’s above ground.

What is Directional Drilling?

You might hear terms like "trenchless technology" or "boring" and wonder what they mean. Ideally, it’s quite simple.

Imagine you need to run a water line, a gas pipe, or fiber optic cables from the street to a building. In the old days, you had to dig a big, messy trench. You’d have to tear up sidewalks, ruin beautiful landscaping, and block driveways.

With Horizontal Directional Drilling, we don't do that.

Instead, we use a specialized drill to create a small path underground. We enter the ground at one point and exit at another, running the pipe or conduit underneath obstacles. We can go under:
Driveways and parking lots
Busy roads in Rosemead
Landscaped gardens
Sidewalks and patios

It’s like threading a needle, but on a much larger scale.

Why Choose Directional Boring California?

Trust is a big deal in our line of work. You need to know that the crew working on your property is safe, licensed, and reliable.

We are proud to hold both General A Engineering Contractor and General B Contractor licenses in California. This means we understand the big picture of engineering and building, not just how to operate a drill.

How the Process Works

If you have never hired a directional drilling contractor before, you might be curious about how we actually do it. Here is a quick breakdown:

1. Planning: We don't just show up and start drilling. We look at utility maps to see what is already underground. Safety is our top priority.
2. The Pilot Bore: We drill a small pilot hole along the planned path. Our equipment lets us steer the drill bit underground. We can turn left, right, up, or down to avoid obstacles.
3. Reaming: Once the drill bit pops out at the target location, we attach a "reamer." We pull this back through the hole to make it the right size for your pipe.
4. Pullback: Finally, we pull the new pipe or conduit through the hole.
5. Cleanup: Since we didn't dig a trench, cleanup is fast. We just patch up the small entry and exit pits.

Factors That Influence Cost

One of the most common questions we get is, "How much does it cost?"

We wish we could give a flat price over the phone, but every job in Los Angeles is a little different. Here are a few things we look at when giving you a quote:

• Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is easier than drilling through hard rock.
• Distance: How far do we need to go? A 50-foot shot is different than a 500-foot bore.
• Diameter: Larger pipes require a larger hole, which takes more time and equipment.
• Location: Working in a tight backyard in Rosemead is different than working on an open construction site.

However, we believe in transparency. If you reach out to us, we can discuss your specific needs and give you a clear idea of what to expect.
