Trenchless Gas Piping Stockton
When your ADU or outdoor kitchen project requires a new gas line or you’re dealing with an old, leaking gas pipe that has rotted out under the ground, the best repair option may be a trenchless directional drill.
Trenchless gas-line replacement requires minimal excavation. We dig in only two locations, where the pipe is fed and at the termination point, such as an ADU.
trenchless gas piping process
We can drill up to 200 feet of gas pipe at a time.
Using a directional drill unit, we can navigate around the back of a home or building and maneuver around large trees or swimming pools to reach the desired location. After drilling, we attach a new gas pipe and a tracer wire to the drill head and pull them through the drilled hole. As certified installers, we use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) gas pipe and fusion weld all connections, transitions, and terminations to ensure a seamless underground pipe.
This drilling technique is perfect for maintaining the integrity of your property without the need for costly and extensive concrete patches or a landscaping overhaul.

Trenchless Water Main Stockton
Water main replacements can be a messy and costly endeavor when they involve excavating a large trench across the property.
As an alternative, we provide a clean, fast, and affordable option: the trenchless method. Depending on the type and length of your water main, we use one of two techniques. For a short, straight water main running from the meter or wellhead to the house, we employ the trenchless bursting method. This involves using the existing pipe as a guide and pulling a new HDPE pipe through with a high-strength cable.
Long trenchless water main
For longer pipe runs, larger pipes, or when there is no existing line to replace, we can use the directional drill method.
We excavate at the meter, the house, or any other desired water supply location. We then drill across the property to the designated area, using the drill head to pull the new HDPE pipe and a 10-gauge tracer wire into place. By fusion welding all connections, transitions, and terminations, we ensure there are no underground failure points or potential for corrosion over time.

Trenchless Sewer Stockton
Before moving forward with a trenchless sewer line replacement, we always perform a sewer video inspection.
We assess a few key factors to determine if the line is suitable for the trenchless method: a good grade and no bellies. We then excavate at both ends of the line to expose the existing sewer line connections. This approach minimizes property damage by limiting excavation to both hardscape and landscape areas.
Our trenchless sewer Process
Trenchless sewer line replacements utilize the bursting method.
We insert a large steel cable through the old sewer line, fitting the end with a bursting head. Using a fusion welding machine, we create a continuous SR11 sewer line and attach it to the bursting head. A hydraulic press is then mounted at the end of the old sewer line to pull the new line into place. Once the new line is installed, we integrate it into the existing system. Depending on your county’s permitting requirements, we then conduct either a sewer video inspection or a pressure test to ensure the installation is successful.
