Directional Drilling
Horizontal Directional Drilling or Directional boring is a way of installing underground pipes using a steerable drilling machine. With our Directional Drill, we are able to install underground piping ranging from 1 inch to 18 inches. Waterline, conduit, electrical, culvert, are all underground utilities that we can install.
Benefits
We are able to replace or install lines with minimal environmental damage with Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). This means that there is no reason to trench your entire yard, driveway, garage, landscaping, or trench the inside of your home or basement. This process saves you time and money. It's known that replacing concrete and landscaping adds additional needless costs. Why dig when you can drill?
How It Works
Safety is our number 1 concern. The first thing we do is locate existing utilities. The utilities must be potholed, or opened for view, if we will be drilling near them. If you have sewer lines that we will be crossing, we also locate those to ensure the utmost safety. Depending on the location of your meter box, we may dig a hole next to the box to route the pipe up into it. We then drill at the correct depth next to the meter box and below your home, directing the drill to the mechanical room. A small hole is dug in the mechanical room, and nowhere else in the home, to attach the pipe to our drill head to be pulled back through to the meter box. With our locating equipment, we have the capability to direct our drill underneath your house, so we are able to run the entire waterline without having to reroute the piping around obstacles. The city then connects the piping at the meter box and plumbed inside the home to your current water system. If you don’t have a plumber, no problem. We have owned and operated Platinum Plumbing LLC for many years and have gained a very respectable reputation for clean, quality work. After every this hooked up, the hole by the meter box is filled, and the sod that was removed is placed back. We patch the hole in the basement with concrete, and in only one day, you have a brand new, efficient water line, WITHOUT the mess.
Platinum Plumbing LLC has been open since June 2007. It is a locally owned, family operated business that believes in quality work. Platinum Plumbing saw an opportunity for assisting people in moving waterlines in a clean and efficient manner, after having used a Boise based company to drill the waterlines for us. We conducted months and months of research and training. We purchased a horizontal directional drilling machine to show the citizens of the Pocatello/Chubbuck area the environmental benefits and cost savings it can provide.
