What We Bore in Salmon Creek

Directional Boring

Need to cross under a driveway, road, or landscape without tearing it up?

We drill underground to install conduit, fiber, and utilities without surface damage.

Trenching & Plowing

Running lines across a yard or property?

We trench or plow with precision—tight gates, narrow paths, and shallow runs are no problem. Clean lines, minimal mess.

Excavation

Some jobs need more digging power.

From deep utility trenches to final cleanup, our excavators handle tight spaces, cleanup, and everything in between—without holding up the schedule.

UTILITY LOCATING

Not sure what’s already underground? We’ll find it.

We trace locate wires or thread a signal line through empty conduit to map out existing utilities and avoid costly mistakes.

OUR PROCESS

  • We review job specs, site constraints, and utility maps. You tell us the entry and exit points, or we help you determine the best bore path. If needed, we schedule a site walk.

  • We coordinate 811 locates. During our walkthrough, we may hydro-excavate the first few utility crossings to confirm depths and soil conditions. This makes sure your quote reflects real ground conditions and resolves any conflicts before setup.

  • We position the drill for optimal alignment. Using tracking systems, we steer the bore path within grade and depth requirements—adjusting in real time to avoid existing utilities and structures.

  • Once the pilot bore is complete, we pull in conduit, pipe, or sleeve under tension control to protect the product.

  • We inspect the bore path and confirm placement with your team. Drill-related track marks are cleaned or restored, auger holes are filled, and slurry is collected. Entry and exit pits, along with potholes for utility crossings, can be added to your quote on a case-by-case basis.

Salmon Creek Boring Done Right.

We’re not a franchise. We’re not middlemen. We’re a field crew serving Salmon Creek with years behind the controls, boring every kind of job you can throw at us.

We’ve seen what stalls projects—missed marks, broken lines, torn-up landscapes, and crews that don’t show.

We built BoreForce to be the opposite. We drill straight, show up ready, and leave the site clean. No shortcuts. No surprises.
