Serving Nassau & Suffolk Counties
Hear from Our Customers
You need a new water line or gas line installed. Traditional excavation means ripping up your driveway, tearing through landscaping, cutting into sidewalks, and spending weeks dealing with the mess. Then comes the restoration—repaving, reseeding, replacing hardscaping—and hoping it all looks right when we’re done.
Trenchless directional drilling in Northampton, NY changes that. We use specialized equipment to drill underground and install your utility lines beneath the surface. Your driveway doesn’t get touched. Your landscaping stays put. Your daily routine continues.
This isn’t about convenience alone. It’s about cost. When you avoid excavation, you avoid restoration. That’s thousands of dollars saved on repaving asphalt, replacing pavers, or reestablishing grass and gardens. The work gets done faster because we’re not digging, backfilling, and rebuilding. You’re back to normal in days, not weeks.
Allied All City has served Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 40 years. We’re a family-owned company, and we show up with our own crews and our own equipment. We don’t subcontract your job to someone else.
Northampton properties—especially older homes—often need water line replacements or gas line upgrades. Many homes here still run on aging infrastructure that’s overdue for replacement. We’ve worked on streets throughout this area, and we understand the soil conditions, the layout challenges, and the local codes that apply to your project.
You’re hiring people who know what they’re doing and have the track record to prove it.
We start by mapping your property. Before we drill anything, we locate existing utilities—gas, electric, water, sewer—using advanced detection equipment. This step prevents damage to what’s already underground and keeps the job safe.
Next, we drill a small entry and exit point. The drill rig creates a pilot hole underground, following a planned path beneath your driveway, yard, or other obstacles. We guide the drill head with precision to avoid tree roots, existing utilities, and structural foundations.
Once the pilot hole is complete, we pull the new utility line through. This could be a water line, gas line, or conduit for electrical or communication cables. The process is called “pullback,” and it installs your new line in one continuous run without any surface disruption.
Finally, we connect everything and test the system. Your new line gets hooked up to your home’s existing plumbing or gas system, pressure-tested for leaks, and inspected to meet local codes. The small entry and exit points get backfilled and restored. That’s it.

Our horizontal directional drilling services in Northampton, NY handle water line installation, gas line installation, and utility conduit placement. If you’re replacing an old water main, upgrading to a new gas service, or running electrical lines to an outbuilding, this method works.
Older homes in Northampton often deal with corroded metal water lines or outdated gas piping. If your water bill has spiked without explanation, you likely have a leak somewhere underground. If you’re converting from oil heat to natural gas, you need a new gas line installed safely and up to code. Both situations benefit from trenchless directional drilling because the installation happens underground without disturbing your property’s surface.
We also handle projects where access is limited. If your utility connection is across a paved driveway, under a concrete patio, or beneath mature trees, traditional digging isn’t practical. Directional boring navigates these obstacles without damaging what’s above ground.
The equipment we use is designed for precision. Real-time guidance systems let us track the drill head’s position as it moves underground, ensuring accurate placement and avoiding surprises. This technology reduces risk and keeps your project on schedule.
Cost depends on the distance drilled, the type of utility line installed, and site conditions. A typical residential water line installation using trenchless methods in Northampton, NY usually costs less than traditional excavation when you factor in restoration expenses.
With traditional digging, you pay for excavation labor, equipment, disposal of excavated material, and then restoration—repaving driveways, replacing landscaping, fixing sidewalks. Those restoration costs often exceed the drilling cost itself. Trenchless directional drilling eliminates most of that.
We provide upfront estimates after assessing your property. You’ll know what the project costs before we start, with no surprise charges for “unexpected” restoration work later.
Yes. That’s exactly what trenchless directional drilling does. We drill beneath your driveway and pull the new water line through underground. Your driveway stays intact.
This is especially valuable if you have a newer driveway or expensive paving materials like stamped concrete or custom pavers. Cutting through those materials and trying to match them during restoration is costly and often looks patched. With horizontal directional drilling, we avoid cutting into your driveway entirely.
The process works for asphalt driveways, concrete driveways, paver driveways, and gravel driveways. We create small entry and exit points on either side of the driveway, drill underneath, and install your water line without disturbing the surface.
Most residential trenchless gas line installations in Northampton, NY take one to two days, depending on the distance and complexity. That includes locating existing utilities, drilling the bore path, pulling the gas line through, and making final connections.
Compare that to traditional excavation, which can take a week or more when you include digging, trenching, backfilling, and restoration. Trenchless methods are faster because we’re not moving large amounts of soil or rebuilding surfaces afterward.
Weather can affect the timeline, but generally, you’re looking at minimal disruption. We complete the work, test the system for leaks and pressure, and you’re ready to use your new gas line.
Yes, when done correctly by experienced professionals. We map out the drill path in advance and use real-time tracking systems to monitor the drill head’s position underground. This ensures we stay clear of your foundation, existing utilities, and other underground structures.
Before we drill, we conduct a thorough utility locate. This identifies the position of gas lines, electric cables, water mains, sewer lines, and communication lines already in the ground. We plan the bore path to avoid all of these, plus any structural elements like foundation footings or retaining wall bases.
The drilling equipment we use is designed for precision, not brute force. We’re not blasting through the ground—we’re guiding a drill head along a controlled path. That level of control protects your property and prevents the kind of damage that can happen with careless digging.
Trenchless directional drilling works in most soil types common to Northampton, NY, including clay, sand, loam, and mixed soils. Rocky conditions require more specialized equipment, but they’re still manageable in most cases.
The key is adjusting the drilling approach based on what’s underground. Softer soils allow for faster drilling with less resistance. Harder soils or areas with rocks require slower, more controlled drilling and sometimes different drill bit configurations.
We assess soil conditions before starting your project. If we encounter unexpected rock or difficult material during drilling, we adjust our approach rather than forcing the equipment through. That prevents damage to the drill, the utility line being installed, and your property.
Yes, most utility installations require permits, whether you’re using trenchless methods or traditional excavation. The permit ensures the work meets local codes and safety standards.
We handle the permit process as part of your project. That includes submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and ensuring everything is done to code. You don’t need to visit the town office or deal with paperwork.
Permits typically cover the utility installation itself—whether it’s a water line, gas line, or electrical conduit—and ensure proper connection to municipal systems or your home’s existing infrastructure. Inspections verify that the work is safe, the materials are correct, and the installation meets pressure and flow requirements.
