TRENCHLESS REPLACEMENT
The Modern, Low-Impact Solution for Pipe Renewal
For many homeowners, the biggest concern about replacing water pipes isn't the plumbing itself—it’s the fear of ruining a well-maintained driveway, patio, or garden.
Impact Moling is a sophisticated trenchless technology that allows us to install new water supply pipes without digging a trench across your property.
Why Choose Trenchless Moling?
Trenchless "moling" is the modern solution for homeowners who want to upgrade their water supply without destroying their landscape. It is the preferred choice for preserving driveways and gardens, as it avoids the need for a continuous open trench. By tunnelling underground between small entry and exit pits, this method offers a cleaner, faster installation with significantly less surface disruption and lower reinstatement costs than traditional excavation.
The Process:
What to Expect
To ensure minimal impact on your property, we excavate just two small pits—one at the boundary and one near your home. We then use a pneumatic "mole" to bore a tunnel underground between these points, allowing us to pull the new Blue MDPE pipe through without disturbing the surface in between. Once connected and tested, we simply fill and restore the two small pits, leaving the rest of your driveway or garden completely untouched.
Did you know?
If you replace your lead supply pipe, your local water company is often required to replace the communication pipe connecting to the main for free under the Lead Replacement Scheme. We can help guide you through this process to ensure you get a completely lead-free connection from the street to your tap.
