ALTRINCHAM AND
CHESHIRE MOLING
DISCRETE, NON DISRUPTIVE PIPE REPLACEMENT SOLUTION
What is
Moling?
The moling process uses a drill to dig through the ground without the need for a trench. It just goes in at a certain depth below the ground and then can be manipulated and used to change direction to suit the specific needs and requirements of the job at hand.
​
This makes it ideal for resolving issues with your water mains especially when your pipes run under a more solid features such as paving or a driveway.
​
Moling can only be used in certain situations however so it’s important to talk to a professional to ensure it’s the right tool for the job.
What are the
Benefits?
REDUCED COST
Moling means we don’t need to dig a trench, hire the machinery or employ as much manpower. This all results in a cost-saving for you.
INCREASED SPEED
Moling is easier and quicker than digging a trench so we can complete a job faster.
REDUCED DISRUPTION
In modern properties, pipes will likely run under a fixed feature such as a driveway, decking or patio. Moling provides a solution which means these elements don’t need to be dug up.
Is it
Safe?
A common question, and a good one, which we get asked a lot is “Is moling safe?”.
​
In the hands of untrained professionals, there is every likelihood that someone could potentially drill into a pre-existing water pipe or electric cable and cause damage to themselves and the environment around them.
​
For the trained professionals at DHC Utilities, however, we will survey the area before we introduce the system, and make sure that we don’t hit anything.
