Directional Drilling Services in West Covina

Welcome to Directional Boring California. If you are looking to install utilities underground without tearing up your property, you have come to the right place. We specialize in Directional Drilling here in West Covina and the greater Los Angeles area.

We know that construction projects can feel stressful. Nobody wants to see their driveway torn up or a busy street blocked off by trenching. That is where we come in. We offer a cleaner, faster way to get pipes and conduits where they need to go.

What is Directional Drilling?

You might hear people call it Horizontal Directional Drilling, or simply HDD. Think of it as a way to install underground pipes without disturbing the surface.

Instead of digging a long, messy trench across a parking lot or a beautiful landscape, we drill underneath it. We create a path underground and pull the pipe through. The surface stays almost untouched. It is great for installing:

• Water lines
• Sewer pipes
• Gas lines
• Electrical conduit
• Fiber optic cables

One thing we love about this service is how it solves problems. If you have a sidewalk, a road, or a landscaped garden in the way, we can go right under it.

Why Work With Us?

We are a development and engineering company, but we are also your neighbors. We take pride in being approachable and easy to work with.

We hold both General A Engineering and General B Contractor licenses in California. This means we understand the big picture of your project, not just the drilling part.

Our Certifications and Values

Trust is a huge part of hiring a contractor. We are proud to be a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). We bring military discipline and integrity to every job site. When we say we will be there, we will be there.

In addition to being a DVBE, we hold several other certifications that show our commitment to professional standards:

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

These aren't just acronyms to us. They represent our dedication to serving our community and meeting high standards. Whether it is a small residential job or a larger municipal project in West Covina, we approach it with the same level of care.

How the Process Works

If you have never hired a drilling contractor before, you might wonder how we actually do it. We keep it simple.

1. Planning: We look at your site in West Covina. We check for existing utilities so we can drill safely.
2. Pilot Bore: We drill a small pilot hole along the planned path. We can steer the drill bit around obstacles.
3. Reaming: Once the drill reaches the other side, we swap the bit for 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 through the hole.

It is efficient and clean. You won't have a giant trench to fill in later.

Factors That Influence Cost

We believe in being open about how we price our work. Since every job site in Los Angeles is different, we can't give a "one size fits all" price without seeing the project. However, here are the things that usually affect the cost:

• Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is easier than drilling through solid rock.
• Distance: How far do we need to drill? Longer bores take more time and materials.
• Pipe Diameter: Larger pipes need a larger hole, which takes more reaming passes.
• Location: Working in a tight spot in West Covina might require more setup time than working in an open field.

If you are curious about a specific project, just ask. We can walk you through what to expect.
