Anderson is the lake town of the Upstate. Our crews have been pulling water service lines, gas feeds, and fiber drops for Lake Hartwell communities — and the downtown neighborhoods off North Main and Boulevard — for four generations. Anderson County is big, rural in places, and growing fast along the Highway 81 and Clemson Boulevard corridors, and Sloan Underground services all of it.
What does underground utility boring cost in Anderson?
Residential HDD bores in Anderson typically start around $1,500–$3,500 for a short driveway crossing. Longer bores, commercial runs, or bores through rockier terrain scale to $4,000–$20,000+. Every Anderson job gets a free written estimate, usually within 24 hours.
How Anderson Boring Is Different
Anderson's soil shifts as you move from the city toward the lake. Around downtown and the older mill-village neighborhoods, you get firm Piedmont clay and older pipe networks — a lot of pre-1970s water mains and galvanized service lines still in the ground. Out toward Lake Hartwell, especially in Anderson's lake communities and the Portman Marina area, soils get sandier and lot configurations get weird: long waterfront setbacks, steep drops, and septic/well layouts that a bore plan has to respect. The Clemson Boulevard / Highway 76 corridor is the commercial pulse — Clemson University traffic, new retail, multifamily housing — and we bore conduit and utility services for those sites regularly. Anderson's older downtown also has aging sewer laterals that can interfere with bore paths, so we pre-locate aggressively.
Why Choose Sloan in Anderson
Anderson is close enough to Greenville that we treat it like a home-county service area. Same-week bookings are normal, emergency leak response is routine, and we know which Anderson County inspectors want what on a permit. Lake Hartwell jobs get the same crew as downtown jobs — no subcontracting, no handoffs.

Common Questions About Anderson Work
Can you bore water service lines for Lake Hartwell properties?
Yes. Lake Hartwell communities are a regular part of our service area. We handle long driveway bores, waterfront setbacks, and the tighter lake-lot layouts that make trenching impractical. Most lake bores complete in a single day.
Do you replace old galvanized water lines in downtown Anderson?
Frequently. Older Anderson neighborhoods still have a lot of galvanized service lines from the mid-20th century that lose pressure, restrict flow, and leak. We bore a new copper or PEX line alongside the old one without tearing up the yard, then cut over the connection.
Do you work commercial jobs on Clemson Boulevard?
Yes — the Clemson Boulevard / Highway 76 corridor is one of the most active commercial corridors in Anderson County, and we bore conduit, water, and gas lines for new retail, restaurants, and multifamily developments along it on a regular cycle.
