Cross-Bore Inspection
Protecting Infrastructure. Preventing Disaster.
Shenandoah is Florida’s trusted cross-bore inspection contractor, specializing in the detection and prevention of dangerous utility conflicts caused by trenchless installations. With over 40 years of experience and advanced CCTV sewer inspection technology, we help municipalities, utility companies, and contractors identify cross-bores—where a newly installed gas or telecom line unintentionally intersects a sewer or storm pipe—before they lead to hazardous backups, property damage, or gas explosions.
Our cross-bore inspection program is one of the most comprehensive in the state. We go beyond standard sewer inspections by pairing expert risk assessments with precise utility asset locating, helping horizontal directional drilling (HDD) contractors and utility owners avoid drilling into existing underground infrastructure. All inspection data is documented, securely stored, and made accessible at any time through our cloud-based data management platform—providing both peace of mind and legal protection in the event of a disaster.
By combining real-time video inspections, detailed utility mapping, and years of field expertise, Shenandoah delivers accurate, non-destructive inspections that protect public safety, reduce liability, and ensure full regulatory compliance across Florida’s underground utility networks.
What is Cross-Bore?
A cross-bore occurs when a newly installed underground utility (typically gas or telecom lines installed via trenchless methods like horizontal directional drilling) unintentionally intersects an existing sewer or storm line. This creates a serious safety hazard that can lead to sewer backups, property damage, gas leaks, or even explosions.

Why Cross-Bore Inspection Is Critical
Without proper inspection, a cross-bore can remain undetected for years until a plumber clears a sewer blockage—potentially rupturing a gas line in the process. Shenandoah’s cross-bore detection services prevent these risks through early identification and detailed mapping.
