What Is Moling?

Moling is a trenchless method of installing underground pipes with minimal surface disruption. Instead of digging long trenches, a compact pneumatic machine, known as a mole, burrows through the soil from one small access pit to another. Once the channel has been created, the new water pipe can be pulled through without disturbing large areas of ground.

This method is ideal for:

  • Replacing old, damaged or leaking water supply pipes
  • Upgrading lead or steel pipework to modern MDPE pipework
  • Installing new water pipes to extensions, annexes or outbuildings
  • Improving water pressure by upgrading pipe diameter
  • Running pipes beneath driveways, paths, roads, lawns and landscaped areas

Moling is often faster, cleaner and less disruptive than traditional excavation.

Top-quality work and genuinely nice team. We needed a full replacement of our old lead water pipe and were worried about the mess and cost.

We were facing constant leaks under our driveway and didn’t want it all dug up. Moling Experts used their trenchless method to install a new pipe with no damage at all. The team clearly knew what they were doing and explained everything clearly. We’re so relieved we chose this method — highly recommend their service!

Amanda T.Shirley, Southampton

The communication was excellent from the first enquiry to completion. The quote was fair and fully explained, and they stuck to it. The engineers arrived on time and had the work done before the afternoon was over. Everything was left spotless, and the water pressure is much better now. Great experience overall.

Richard O'HaraWoolston, Southampton

Moling Experts replaced our water main using their no-dig method, and we’re so glad we called them. They managed to complete the work without damaging our lawn or path, which was a big concern for us. They were respectful, tidy, and worked quickly. The improvement in water flow is noticeable straight away. Brilliant team and great results.
