Hydro Excavation
Hydro Excavation offers many advantages compared to traditional hydraulic powered trenching and excavation machines.
What We Do
Residential Boring
Horizontal Directional Drilling also known as trenchless technology is ideal for residential utilities installations, grinder pumps and low pressure sewer installations.
Commercial Boring
Horizontal Directional Drilling is ideal for boring under man-made and natural structures.
Directional Boring
It is a method of installing utilities underground such as water, drain lines, sewers, gas, power, cable/communications, and geothermal.
Backhoe Excavation
Backhoe Excavation is a standard way to have utilities and general construction done when some methods aren’t available.
Cable Pulling
Advanced Underground provides the equipment and material to satisfy any of your cable pulling needs.
Water Service Replacement
We offer the equipment and technology to quickly replace your damaged main water line and preserve your lawn and landscaping throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size drill rig will I need for the job?
We determine which of our rigs is best suited for the job by assessing the soil conditions, pipe size, and space available.
Do I need to have the location inspected by Ohio Utility Protection Services (OUPS)?
Yes. Every job must be inspected by Dig Safe. This is a simple process that we can assist you with.
How do I assess a bid for directional drilling versus a bid for open cutting?
The cost of restoration is the most overlooked aspect of an excavation bid. The cost of fixing roads and controlling traffic are often not included in a bid for excavation. When assessing an excavation bid, be sure to factor in the cost of repairing road damage and hiring traffic control. Traffic control and road restoration are often not major expenses when directional drilling is used. On our bids, we inform you of all costs to complete the project.
Why should I choose directional drilling over open cutting?
HDD equipment requires a relatively short set-up time; a mini rig can be set up and start boring within an hour. Labor requirements are minimal, as it only takes a small crew to operate a small drilling rig. The need for traditional excavation during horizontal directional drilling is minimal or non-existent.
In open areas, directional drilling is an efficient was to cross rivers, highways, railroad tracks, even active airplane runways, without major disruptions to traffic or costs for traffic management. In crowded urban areas, horizontal directional drilling is increasingly viewed as “the preferred technology” because: •Surface disruption is minimized
- Restoration costs (roads, infrastructure) are minimized
- Less impact on residents and businesses
- Minimizes the need for earth removal and the long-term costs of trench settlement
