HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILL
Akers uses Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) which is a non-invasive, trenchless, environmentally-friendly method to install your water line. This method is used for long distance and difficult bores whereas other conventional methods would be nearly impossible.
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. This trenchless water line replacement method exceeds industry standards and we are proud to offer it to our customers.
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.
UNDERGROUND PIERCING TOOLS
The most common and versatile method we offer is underground piercing tools. Consequently, they are the foundation for all we have built here at Akers Outdoor Plumbing. We have used this method to install water lines in Seattle and the greater Puget sound area for over 25 years.
Our underground piercing tools work perfectly in almost every situation imaginable. Whether it’s going up a hill, under a concrete driveway, in a compact area, under rockeries or through hard pan soil, we can get the job done. A wide variety of trenchless installation methods coupled with expert knowledge means peace of mind to our customers. Satisfaction is always a guaranteed at Akers Outdoor Plumbing.
