Who we work for
Residential drilling and boring in Georgia
For homeowners, builders, plumbers, electricians and landscapers: the line goes under the driveway and the lawn stays a lawn.
The yard stays a yard
A homeowner in Georgia calls a boring contractor for one of a few reasons: the water service failed under the driveway, power is needed at a barn or a pool, a fiber drop is coming, a generator or a gas appliance needs a line, or a landscaper wants sleeves under a new walk. Each is a short bore from a pit in the bed to a pit by the house. The driveway, the patio and the trees stay as they are. Most are finished in a day.
Residential jobs
- Water, gas and sewer services from the street to the house.
- Power to detached garages, shops, pools, docks, gates and guest houses.
- Fiber and cable drops without a trench across the yard.
- Irrigation, lighting and low-voltage sleeves under walks, drives and pavers.
- Replacement of a failed line under a driveway or a slab.
Georgia yards
Red clay and roots in the north, sand and a high water table on the coast and in the south, and old pipe nobody mapped in every established neighborhood. Georgia 811 marks the public utilities; the crew locates the private ones before the bore. Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. is headquartered in Powder Springs, west of Atlanta, and runs the whole state. Metro Atlanta and the counties around it are home range with no mobilization fee; Columbus, Macon, Augusta, Savannah, Albany, Valdosta and everywhere between are a quoted mobilization and a crew that has already been there. Being the drilling company that actually picks up the phone and shows up is most of why the company works across Georgia.

Services for residential work in Georgia
Directional Drilling
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD): a steered bore between two small pits that puts conduit, pipe and cable under roads, driveways, parking lots and landscaping with no open trench.
Horizontal Drilling
Horizontal drilling for any line that has to cross something it cannot cut through: a street, a slab, a canal, a stand of trees. Entry pit, exit pit, nothing opened in between.
Directional Boring
Directional boring is the small-rig end of HDD: short, shallow bores for service lines, sleeves and conduit on residential and light-commercial lots.
Underground Drilling
Underground drilling for new utilities where the surface is spoken for: tracked, steered bores placed under whatever is already built on top.
Fiber Optic Cable Drilling
Fiber duct and drop conduit installed by directional drill for carriers, co-ops, campuses and developments: long shots along the right-of-way, short shots to the building.
Electrical Conduit Drilling
PVC and HDPE electrical conduit bored under pavement for primary feeds, secondary services, site lighting and EV charging circuits.
Underground Conduit Drilling
Single ducts and multi-duct bundles pulled through one reamed bore: communications, power, controls and spares placed together under the obstacle.
Structured Cable Drilling
Conduit between buildings for structured cabling, campus networks, security and controls, bored under courtyards, drives and parking rather than cut across them.
Utility Drilling
Utility drilling for water, sewer, gas, power and telecom owners: permitted road crossings, mains under live streets, services to the meter.
Communications Drilling
Communications conduit and cable placed by directional drill: telecom, cable TV, cell-site backhaul and private networks, under roads and lots.
Missile Boring
Missile boring (pneumatic piercing) drives a steel mole through the soil for short, straight, shallow runs under a driveway or sidewalk: the quickest way to sleeve a lawn or a walk.
Auger Boring and Drilling
Cased auger bores for road, highway and railroad crossings and for gravity sewer that has to hold an exact grade: a straight steel casing jacked from a pit.
Sewer, Water and Drain Lines
New water services and mains, sewer force mains and laterals, and storm drains installed under roads, driveways and yards without trenching them open.

Davis Underground Solutions, Inc., before every bore, and the private lines are located too.
How soon can a crew come out?+
Metro Atlanta within days; elsewhere in Georgia the crew is scheduled with a quoted mobilization.
Is the estimate free?+
Yes. Call (678) 264-3333 or send the job through the form.
