Directional Drilling In Iowa

Larson Well Co. provides horizontal directional drilling for utility lines, pipelines, and water lines — installed underground with minimal surface disruption.

Trenchless installation for utility & water lines

Directional drilling lets us install water lines, utility conduit, and pipe underground along a precise bore path — without digging an open trench across your property. That means less surface disruption to driveways, landscaping, roads, and farm ground.

Larson Well Co. uses directional drilling to run water lines from a new well to a home or outbuilding, cross under driveways, roads, and waterways, and install utility lines for rural and agricultural properties where trenching isn’t practical.

Because we combine directional drilling with our well drilling expertise, we can handle both the well and the water line installation as a single, coordinated project.
