Horizontal Directional Drilling in Athens — what matters locally
Around Athens's 1970 building period, laterals were often laid to suit a site layout that has since changed. Where a re-route makes more sense than following the original path, drilling creates a new one with no trench between entry and exit.
When Athens properties need horizontal directional drilling
- New sewer, water, gas or conduit installation where no line exists
- Crossing under a road, driveway, parking lot or waterway
- Protecting mature trees, historic paving or new hardscape
- Installing several utilities on one bore path
- Commercial and municipal work across Athens County

Answers
Horizontal Directional Drilling in Athens — FAQs
Can you drill under a driveway or road in Athens?
Yes, that is one of its core uses. Bores routinely pass beneath driveways, parking lots, roads and waterways with no surface disturbance between entry and exit. Work in a public right-of-way needs municipal permits and often traffic control, which we handle.
Is drilling right for my sewer lateral?
For most Athens homeowners, no. Bursting is faster and cheaper for replacing an existing line. Drilling makes sense when there is no usable line to follow, or when you need to cross something.
How much does directional drilling cost?
There is no standard rate. Ohio's glacial soils can carry cobbles that deflect a drill head, so ground conditions matter as much as length. We assess before quoting.
