Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) for Underground Water and Sewer Line in BC
At Ironman Directional Drilling, we use horizontal drilling to install high-pressure casings to transport water or sewage from location to location. We employ directional drilling on these sites because they cannot be easily accessed or are in environmentally sensitive areas, such as lakes, rivers, railways, downhill sides, or small mountains.

Homeowners can easily have gas, water, electric, or telecommunications lines placed in their homes through horizontal directional drilling, perfect for urban residential areas where houses sit closely together. We can upgrade lawn sprinkler systems, too – all without destroying landscaping.

Using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) to Install Water and Sewer Lines
​
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a reliable method for installing water and sewer lines with minimal environmental impact. It is a faster and less disruptive solution compared to traditional open-cut methods. HDD allows water and sewer lines to be installed underneath patios, driveways, roadways, rivers, and other obstacles without digging or damaging surfaces. This technique helps preserve the surrounding landscape while reducing the need for surface restoration.
If you're considering installing water or sewer lines, Ironman Directional Drilling offers horizontal directional drilling (HDD) services in BC, which are an efficient and environmentally friendly option.
Utility Locating
Ironman Directional Drilling provides utility locating services to ensure safe and efficient horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects in BC.

What Is Horizontal Directional Drilling?
Horizontal directional drilling is an innovative way to install pipes, cables, and service conduits without digging trenches. We use horizontal drilling in BC to install water and sewer lines without negatively impacting the service area. Our team creates a pilot hole and then drills it further to put the desired underground utilities in place. We use our cutting-edge equipment and technology to ensure accurate depth, angles, and exit points.

Common Causes for Underground Water Line Leakage
More often than not, leaks in the underground water pipeline result from wear and tear. However, there are several other reasons can cause this issue, including:
-
Problems with installation
Hiring an inexperienced contractor to install your water pipelines can be risky. Even minor errors during the installation can cause costly repairs down the line. To avoid this, always hire a reliable and professional service provider for all your projects. - Irregular pressure
inconsistent pressure in your pipelines that frequently jumps up and down at quick intervals can also cause damage to your pipeline. The team at Ironman Directional Drilling in BC is experienced in resolving such issues and is ready to assist you. - Damage due to pests or rodents
Pests and rodents like beavers, rats and gophers could also compromise your pipes. Sometimes, they can cause damage to underground systems even below the ground level, causing leaks.
