At Heaton Water Services we embrace the latest techniques and equipment, so we can provide water pipe replacement services that save time, money and minimise disruption. We adopted the ‘moling’ technology for this exact reason – it offers an innovative way to create underground channels for conduits and pipe replacements with very little disturbance above ground.
With our trench-less water pipe replacement we employ a “mole” to do the digging for us – a small pneumatic device that burrows and hammers its way through the ground. We start by digging a small entry pit – usually around 3 feet square and 3 feet deep and from here we start the moling process, sending the unit horizontally towards the destination pit.
The benefits of moling are huge, allowing us to dig small holes instead of a long, deep trench that may need to cut through gardens, driveways or pavement. With the smart use of moling, we’re able to provide a much more discreet installation with minimal disruption to the surrounding areas.
Moling has significantly reduced the time it takes for water pipe replacement, and the resulting savings in manpower and materials are passed on to the client, providing a more cost-effective and efficient method of installing new pipes.
Reduced Mess
With trench-less pipe laying equipment we can reduce excavation work by over 95% leaving your home and garden much tidier than conventional methods.
Direct Routing
Instead of digging long trenches around the perimeter of your garden or along the edges of your driveway, we can now tunnel directly underneath without causing damage!
Cost Effective
Moling techniques make many water pipe replacement and repair jobs quicker and easier when compared to digging trenches – and this saving gets passed on to you!
Less Disruption
Because we can now lay pipes and ducting directly beneath your garden or driveway without digging a trench there is much less disruption to your property than before.
