Sewer Line Installation for New Construction and Full Replacements

Whether you're connecting a new structure to the municipal sewer system or replacing an aging pipe that's failing underground, Terrafirma Drilling has the equipment and expertise to complete the job correctly. We install sewer service lines and sewer mains using both traditional excavation and horizontal directional drilling — whichever method is best suited for your site's conditions and access limitations.

Trenchless Sewer Solutions Using Directional Drilling Technology

When sewer lines run under roads, buildings, or established landscaping, traditional digging isn't always practical. Our directional drilling capability allows us to install and replace sewer lines with minimal surface disruption. This reduces restoration costs, protects your property, and speeds up project completion — all without sacrificing quality or code compliance.

Hydrovac Jetting for Sewer Mains 6 Inches and Above

Our Hydrovac Jetter truck is a specialized piece of equipment designed to safely expose buried utilities and clean or jet larger sewer lines—six inches in diameter and above. This is especially valuable for municipal sewer main work, where heavy-duty cleaning and precision are critical. We can clear blockages, inspect lines, and prepare for repair or replacement without unnecessary excavation.
