Sussex Water Mains Ltd trenchless water pipe installation (moling) begins with the digging of a series of small holes, which are typically 0.7m x 0.5m x 0.7m in size. We then start the moling process by lowering the moling equipment (grundomat) into the hole and allowing it to bore under the ground from where the new pipe will start and then end.
This then means the ground above is not disturbed and your driveway, garden, pavement or patio is untouched. All the holes that are dug are reinstated to the highest standard and in most cases you can never tell that you have just had a new pipe installed.
Sussex Water Mains Ltd specialise in a process called Moling (trenchless technology). With the moling process, we can install new water supplies to any area that may require new pipes.
If your property was built before 1970, it is highly likely that water supply pipes are lead. We advise that all lead water mains are replaced straight away, particularly if children are present in the property.
Water mains can be repaired as well as replaced. Whether it’s a small 1/2″ water mains for a private property or a larger diameter cast iron mains. We are able to repair any size mains with ease.
