Serving Nassau & Suffolk Counties

You avoid the nightmare of torn-up yards and the massive restoration bills that follow. Traditional excavation doesn’t just dig trenches—it destroys driveways, kills mature trees, rips out gardens, and leaves you with weeks of repair work that often costs more than the original utility installation.
Trenchless directional drilling in Old Mastic, NY changes that completely. Your property looks the same when we’re done as it did when we started. No concrete to replace, no landscaping to replant, no explaining to your neighbors why your yard looks like a construction zone.
The process is faster, cleaner, and protects what you’ve spent years building. You get reliable utility connections installed precisely where they need to go—under driveways, around tree roots, beneath obstacles—without a single shovel breaking ground on the surface. Your daily routine continues. Your kids and pets stay safe. Your curb appeal stays intact.
Allied All City is family-owned and has served Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 40 years. We’re not new to trenchless technology or directional drilling—we’ve been refining this process for decades while other companies were still defaulting to open-cut trenching.
Old Mastic homeowners face a specific challenge: properties with established landscaping, mature trees, and home values that demand protection. You’re not in a new development where a torn-up yard is expected. You’ve invested in your property, and you need contractors who understand that.
We handle everything from 2-inch residential water lines to larger commercial installations. Licensed, insured, and equipped with the technology to navigate around whatever’s underground without guessing.
We start with a small entry and exit pit on either end of where your utility line needs to run. These are minimal—nothing like traditional trenching that tears through your entire yard.
A specialized boring head gets guided underground using a tracking system that shows us exactly where it’s going in real time. The drill head uses pressurized water to cut through soil and navigate around obstacles. If we hit something unexpected—a rock, an existing line—the equipment adjusts direction without surfacing.
Once the path is clear, we pull the new utility line through the drilled tunnel. Water lines, gas lines, electrical conduit—whatever you need gets installed in one pass. The small pits get filled and tamped. You’re left with utility connections that work exactly as they should, installed under your driveway or landscaping without disturbing the surface.
The whole process typically wraps faster than traditional methods because we’re not spending days digging, then more days restoring. You get functional infrastructure without the destruction.

We install water line directional drilling in Old Mastic, NY for new connections or replacements when your existing line fails. If you’re dealing with low pressure, leaks, or outdated galvanized pipes, this gets you a new water service without excavating your entire front yard.
Trenchless gas line installation in Old Mastic, NY works the same way—new gas service to your home, pool heater, or outdoor kitchen without ripping up hardscape. Electrical and cable lines run through the same process when you need new service or upgraded capacity.
Old Mastic’s housing stock was largely built in the 1970s and 1980s. Many homes are hitting the point where original utility lines need replacement. Galvanized water lines corrode. Old gas lines don’t meet current code. Traditional replacement meant destroying driveways and landscaping that’s now 40+ years mature.
Horizontal directional drilling in Old Mastic, NY solves that. You get modern, code-compliant utility lines installed with zero impact to the property features that make your home valuable. It’s particularly useful here because lot layouts often have utilities running under established driveways or through areas with mature root systems you can’t afford to damage.
The drilling itself sometimes costs slightly more upfront than basic trenching. But that’s not the real comparison you should be making.
Traditional excavation destroys your driveway, walkways, and landscaping. Restoring a concrete driveway runs $8-$15 per square foot in Long Island. Replacing mature landscaping—trees, shrubs, sod—easily hits thousands more. You’re also paying for longer labor hours because digging and restoration take significantly more time than directional drilling.
Trenchless directional drilling in Old Mastic, NY eliminates all those restoration costs. You pay for the utility installation, and you’re done. No secondary crews, no concrete work, no waiting for landscapers. When you factor in the total project cost—not just the drilling—trenchless almost always comes out ahead, and your property stays intact throughout.
Yes. That’s exactly what this process was designed for.
We drill underneath your driveway at whatever depth the water line needs to run—typically 3-4 feet to stay below the frost line. The boring equipment enters from one side and exits on the other. Your driveway never gets touched.
This matters in Old Mastic because many homes have asphalt or concrete driveways that are 30-40 years old but still functional. Cutting through them for a traditional water line replacement means you’re now paying to repave or re-pour sections of driveway that didn’t need replacement. Trenchless water line directional drilling in Old Mastic, NY avoids that entirely. Your driveway stays whole, and you avoid the cost and hassle of driveway repair that often exceeds the cost of the actual utility work.
Most residential installations finish in one day. Larger or more complex runs might take two.
Compare that to traditional open-cut trenching, which can take 3-5 days or more when you include excavation, utility installation, backfill, and then waiting for concrete or asphalt contractors to restore your driveway. You’re often looking at weeks before your property is back to normal.
Trenchless gas line installation in Old Mastic, NY or water line work moves faster because we’re not managing massive amounts of excavated soil, coordinating multiple restoration trades, or waiting for materials to cure. We drill, install, and close the small access pits in a single mobilization. You’re not dealing with extended construction timelines, blocked driveways, or ongoing disruption to your daily routine.
We call 811 before every job to mark existing utilities. That’s non-negotiable and required by law in New York.
The directional drilling equipment includes tracking technology that shows us exactly where the boring head is underground in real time. If we encounter an obstruction—an existing utility line, a rock, tree roots—the drill head can change direction to navigate around it. That’s the main advantage over traditional digging, where you don’t know what you’re hitting until the shovel or excavator makes contact.
Old Mastic properties often have decades of underground infrastructure—old sprinkler lines, abandoned utilities, cable runs that were never documented. Horizontal directional drilling in Old Mastic, NY gives us the control to work around those obstacles without the risk of a backhoe operator accidentally severing your neighbor’s cable line or your own electrical service. The process is significantly safer for existing infrastructure than open excavation.
We handle residential installations from 2-inch water services up to larger commercial lines. Most homes need 1-inch to 2-inch water lines, ¾-inch to 1-inch gas lines, and similar sizing for electrical conduit.
The directional drilling equipment scales to match the job. Smaller residential bores use compact rigs that fit in tight spaces between houses. Larger commercial projects use bigger equipment for increased depth and diameter capacity.
For Old Mastic homeowners, the typical scope is replacing an aging water service line, adding a new gas line for a generator or pool heater, or running electrical service to a detached garage or shed. All of those fall well within the range of what trenchless directional drilling services in Old Mastic, NY can handle efficiently. If you’re unsure whether your project fits, we can assess it during a site visit—but most residential utility work is a straightforward application of this technology.
It works in most soil conditions you’ll find on Long Island—sand, clay, mixed soils, and even areas with some rock or hardpan.
The boring head uses water pressure to cut through soil, and the tracking system adjusts the path if we hit dense material. Extremely rocky conditions or solid bedrock can slow progress, but those situations are rare in Old Mastic’s soil composition, which is predominantly sandy loam with some clay content.
Wet conditions or high water tables don’t stop the process either. The equipment is designed to work in saturated soil, which is common in low-lying areas of Long Island. Traditional trenching often requires dewatering pumps and extended timelines when groundwater is present. Trenchless directional drilling in Old Mastic, NY handles those conditions without the added complexity. We’ve worked through every soil variation in Nassau and Suffolk Counties over 40 years—if there’s a way to get your utility line installed without tearing up your property, we’ve done it before.
