Expert Directional Drilling in San Fernando

Welcome to Directional Boring California. If you are looking for a way to install utilities underground without tearing up your property, you have come to the right place. We provide top-tier Directional Drilling services right here in San Fernando, California, and throughout the greater Los Angeles area.

We know that construction projects can be stressful. There is noise, dust, and usually a lot of digging. But here is the good news: it doesn't always have to be that way. Our team specializes in getting the job done with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Who We Are

We are a development and engineering company. We hold both General A Engineering and General B Contractor licenses in California. This means we are qualified to handle complex infrastructure projects as well as general building tasks. Whether it is a big municipal job or a smaller private project, we have the skills and the license to back it up.

We are also proud to be a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). We served our country, and now we serve our community with that same level of dedication and discipline.

What is Horizontal Directional Drilling?

You might hear this called Horizontal Directional Drilling or simply HDD. It sounds technical, but the concept is actually pretty 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 would have to dig a big trench. That means breaking up sidewalks, ruining driveways, and destroying beautiful landscaping.

With directional drilling, we don't do that.

Instead, we drill a small pilot hole from the surface. We guide a drill head underground horizontally. Once we reach the other side, we pull the pipe or conduit back through that hole.

The benefits are clear:
No trenches: We leave the surface mostly untouched.
Less mess: Your driveway and garden stay safe.
Speed: It is often faster than digging and refilling a trench.
Traffic flow: We don't have to shut down entire roads in San Fernando just to lay a pipe.

Why Choose Us in San Fernando?

San Fernando and Los Angeles are busy places. There are obstacles everywhere—roads, sidewalks, existing pipes, and buildings. You need a contractor who knows the local area and understands the soil conditions here.

At Directional Boring California, we have the experience to navigate these challenges. We approach every job with a "safety first" mindset.

One thing we love about this service is how clean it is. When we leave a job site, it often looks like we were never there. That is a huge plus for homeowners and business owners alike.

Our Certifications and Trust

Trust is everything in this business. You are hiring us to drill underground where you can't see, so you need to know we are doing it right.

Aside from our General A and B licenses, our certifications show our commitment to professional standards. We are a:
DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise)
SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business)
PDBE (Port of Long Beach SBE)

These aren't just acronyms. They represent our standing in the business community. They also make us a great partner for government contracts and public works projects that require specific compliance standards.

What Factors Into the Cost?

We know that budget is a big concern. "How much does directional drilling cost?" is probably the first question on your mind.

Because every project is different, we can't give a flat rate without seeing the job. However, here are the things we look at:
Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is easier than drilling through solid rock.
Distance: How far do we need to drill?
Diameter: How big is the pipe we are pulling back?
Obstacles: Are there other utility lines we need to avoid?

We believe in being transparent. We will look at your project and give you a fair, honest estimate. No hidden surprises.
