When a septic system fails, you don’t always have to tear up the entire yard.
This homeowner’s in Travelers Rest septic system had reached the end of its life, so the best long-term solution was connecting to the public sewer system.
To make that happen, the homeowner obtained an easement on the neighboring property, allowing us to install a new sewer tap. From there, our crew directionally bored approximately 300 feet to the new connection.
Why directional boring?
🌳 No trench cut through the neighbor’s yard.
🌳 Mature trees and landscaping were preserved.
🏡 Minimal impact to both properties.
🚧 A new sewer pump station was installed at the home for reliable service.
The photos show exactly why trenchless technology is becoming the preferred method for underground utility installations. Instead of leaving a massive trench across two properties, we completed the installation while protecting the surrounding landscape.
