Hear from Our Customers
You don’t have to choose between functional utilities and a property that looks good. Trenchless directional drilling services in Oakville, NY let you add or replace underground lines without the mess, the restoration costs, or the weeks of disruption that come with traditional excavation.
We drill a precise path underground and pull the new pipe through in one shot. Your grass doesn’t get ripped up. Your driveway doesn’t need to be repaved. Your sprinkler system stays untouched because we’re working well below the surface.
The small entry and exit holes we create get filled and restored the same day. You get fully functional utility lines and a yard that doesn’t look like a construction zone. No waiting for contractors to come back and fix what got torn apart.
Allied All City has been family owned and operated since 1983. We’ve spent over 40 years working on residential and commercial properties across Nassau and Suffolk Counties, including right here in Oakville, NY.
We’re not a franchise or a national chain that showed up last year. We know Long Island soil conditions, local codes, and the specific challenges that come with working on properties in this area. We’ve handled installations from 50 feet to 900 feet, running water services, gas lines, electric conduit, and sewer connections.
You’re working with a local team that has the equipment, the experience, and the track record to do this right the first time.
We start with a camera inspection if you’re replacing an existing line. That tells us exactly what we’re dealing with underground and helps us plan the drilling path.
Next, we drill a small pilot hole from the entry point to the exit point using a steerable drill head. This creates the pathway for your new utility line. The drill can navigate around obstacles, make turns, and adjust depth as needed.
Once the pilot hole is complete, we attach the new pipe to the drill head and pull it back through the pathway we just created. For sewer line replacements, we use a bursting head that breaks apart the old pipe while simultaneously pulling the new one into place.
The entire process happens underground. We’re typically in and out in a day for standard residential jobs. You get a new utility line installed at the correct depth, and your property stays intact.

Trenchless directional drilling in Oakville, NY works for water service lines, sewer connections, gas lines, electric conduit, and cable or fiber optic runs. If it needs to go underground and you don’t want your property torn apart, we can drill it.
The method works under driveways, patios, sidewalks, landscaped areas, and even underneath existing structures when needed. We can accommodate different pipe diameters depending on what your project requires.
Oakville properties often have mature landscaping and established hardscaping that homeowners have invested significant money into over the years. Traditional excavation means you’re paying twice—once for the utility work and again to restore everything that got destroyed. Trenchless drilling eliminates that second cost entirely.
You also avoid the permitting headaches and timeline delays that come with tearing up driveways or sidewalks. The work gets done faster, costs less overall, and leaves your property value intact.
Trenchless directional drilling in Oakville, NY typically costs more upfront than traditional digging, but you save significantly on restoration. When you factor in the cost of repaving a driveway, re-landscaping a yard, or replacing damaged sprinkler systems, trenchless usually comes out ahead.
Traditional excavation might quote lower for the actual utility work, but then you’re looking at separate bills for a paving contractor, a landscaper, and potentially a mason if sidewalks or patios got torn up. Those restoration costs add up fast and often exceed the original utility work.
With trenchless drilling, you’re paying for specialized equipment and expertise, but you’re getting a complete job with minimal restoration. The small holes we create get filled the same day. You’re not waiting weeks for multiple contractors to come back and fix your property. Most homeowners in Oakville find the total project cost is lower with trenchless, and the timeline is a fraction of what traditional methods require.
Yes. That’s exactly what trenchless directional drilling does. We drill underneath your driveway and pull the new water line through without touching the surface.
We create a small entry hole on one side and an exit hole on the other side of the driveway. The drill head travels underground between these two points, and we pull the water line through the path we just created. Your driveway never gets cut, broken, or disturbed.
This matters because repaving a driveway isn’t cheap, and even when it’s done well, you can often see where the patch was made. The asphalt or concrete never quite matches perfectly. With trenchless drilling, your driveway stays original and intact. We’ve run water lines under driveways throughout Oakville, NY without a single customer needing to call a paving contractor afterward.
Most residential trenchless directional drilling projects in Oakville, NY are completed in one day. We show up, drill the pathway, install the new line, and restore the small access holes before we leave.
Larger commercial projects or longer runs might take two days, but you’re still looking at a fraction of the time traditional excavation requires. Traditional methods can stretch into weeks when you account for digging, utility installation, inspections, and then waiting for restoration contractors to rebuild everything.
The timeline also depends on whether we’re installing a new line or replacing an existing one. Replacements using pipe bursting can actually go faster because we’re following the path of the old line. New installations require more planning and locating, but we’re still typically done in a day for standard residential work.
Trenchless directional drilling works in most soil types common to Long Island, including clay, sand, gravel, and mixed conditions. The drill head is designed to push through and navigate different underground materials.
Rocky soil or areas with large boulders can slow things down, but our equipment can handle it. We’ve worked throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 40 years, so we’re familiar with the soil conditions in Oakville, NY and the surrounding areas.
Before we start drilling, we locate existing utilities and assess what’s underground. If there’s something that would make trenchless drilling impractical—which is rare—we’ll tell you upfront. But in the vast majority of cases, the soil conditions on Long Island properties are well-suited for directional drilling. The technology was developed specifically to handle challenging underground environments without surface disruption.
No. Trenchless directional drilling happens well below the depth of sprinkler lines and plant root systems. Your irrigation stays functional and your landscaping stays intact.
Sprinkler systems typically run 6 to 12 inches below the surface. We’re drilling several feet down, depending on what utility we’re installing and local code requirements. There’s no intersection between our work and your irrigation.
The only surface impact you’ll see is the small entry and exit holes—usually about the size of a basketball. We restore those holes with soil and seed or sod before we leave. Your lawn might have two small patches that need a few weeks to blend in completely, but that’s it. Compare that to traditional excavation, which tears a trench across your entire yard, rips out sprinkler heads and lines, and leaves you with a strip of dead grass and mud that takes months to recover. Homeowners in Oakville, NY choose trenchless specifically because they want to protect the landscaping they’ve invested in.
Yes. We use a technique called pipe bursting to replace collapsed or damaged sewer lines without digging a trench. A bursting head breaks apart the old pipe underground while simultaneously pulling a new seamless pipe into place.
This works even when the old pipe has collapsed, shifted, or filled with roots. The bursting head is stronger than the damaged pipe, so it fractures the old line and pushes the pieces into the surrounding soil. The new pipe gets pulled through immediately behind it, creating a brand new sewer line in the same pathway.
You end up with a new sewer line that’s more durable than the original, installed at the proper depth and grade, without tearing up your yard or driveway. We’ve replaced sewer lines throughout Oakville, NY using this method. It’s faster, cleaner, and less disruptive than traditional excavation, and the new line will outlast what was there before.
