Moling is a trenchless method used to install or replace underground water pipes with minimal disruption to your property. Instead of digging up long trenches, we use a specialist pneumatic machine — known as a “mole” — which tunnels through the soil between two small access points. This allows us to lay new pipework without damaging driveways, lawns, patios, or paths.
For homeowners and businesses across Reading, moling is an ideal solution for:
-
Replacing old or leaking water supply pipes
-
Upgrading outdated lead or steel pipework to MDPE plastic
-
Improving water pressure and flow with larger pipe diameters
-
Connecting new builds, extensions, or outbuildings to mains supply
-
Minimising disruption to landscaped or hard-surfaced areas
Whether you’re in Caversham, Tilehurst, Woodley, Earley, or central Reading, our no-dig moling service is a fast, clean, and cost-effective way to upgrade your underground water pipes — without turning your property into a building site.
