NON-INVASIVE WATER LINE REPLACEMENT
HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILL
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless, non-invasive, environmentally-friendly method. We use this method to install your water service line. This method is used for long distance/difficult bores whereas other conventional methods would be nearly impossible. Therefore, Directional drilling is a great way to install your new water service line. This method exceeds industry standards.
We start by digging an entry pit where our drill head can be inserted and an exit pit where the bore will end up. Then, we proceed with drilling underground and then pulling back your new water service line. Directional drilling usually surpasses most expectations while being able to steer the head of the drill to reach the desired location. Using the latest locating, depth, and navigating equipment, we can steer around/under most obstacles including existing utilities or concrete/asphalt driveways, etc. We understand that every situation is unique. Consequently, we take pride in offering the best solutions for your outdoor plumbing projects.

CONSTANT TENSION PIPE SLITTING
Constant tension pipe slitting was originally engineered to replace the ageing plastic gas mains with minimal surface disruption. Akers Outdoor Plumbing has worked hand-in-hand with the manufacturer to develop a system that works best for replacing your aging water service line.
Our constant tension pipe slitting is a non-invasive, environmentally responsible, trenchless method for replacing plastic service lines. The existing waterline is exposed at the water meter and at the house foundation. Then, a cable is inserted through the old pipe. After that, the “slitter” is installed and we pull the new pipe through the old existing plastic pipe. This is a cutting edge trenchless underground solution. It has been developed to replace the growing number of plastic pipes that are failing across Seattle and the greater Puget Sound.
