Directional boring on residential properties can cover short or long distances depending on the layout of the project. Many home installations range from a few feet to more than 100 feet based on soil conditions, the route, and the utility being installed.
Yes. Directional boring can be performed in rocky or compacted soil, although the drilling process may slow down or require specialized drill heads. Most soil conditions in the Knoxville area are suitable for directional boring.
Yes. Most underground utility installations in Knoxville require permits. Tennessee Standard Plumbing handles the permitting process and ensures the project follows local codes and inspection requirements.
Directional boring is designed to avoid existing utilities. Before any drilling begins, technicians locate and mark water, sewer, gas, and other underground lines so the boring path remains clear and safe.
Directional boring creates moderate mechanical noise, but it is significantly less disruptive than traditional excavation. The process is faster, cleaner, and avoids the heavy noise and debris associated with open digging.
