About Wooley Water Sewer Trenchless

Restore the Pipe. Preserve the Property.

Wooley Water Sewer Trenchless is a family-owned, trenchless-only sewer and water-line contractor based in Carroll, Ohio — founded in 1978 and now operating in its second generation. We serve Columbus, Westerville, Bexley, Gahanna, and surrounding Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Pickaway, and Licking County communities.

How It Started — Pickerington, Ohio, 1978

Eric Wooley — a Vietnam veteran and former truck driver — founded Wooley Water Sewer Trenchless in 1978 in Pickerington, Ohio. Coming from a family of business owners, Eric saw an opportunity to build something of his own and create a future for his family through hard work and hands-on service. He started the business focused on water and sewer line work, serving local homeowners and building a reputation on reliability, honesty, and doing the job right the first time.

In 1992, after graduating from drafting school, Eric's son Heath Wooley joined the family business. For 30+ years Heath has personally performed sewer and water-line repair, trenchless installation, and jobsite operations across the Columbus metro. Today he leads the company — applying modern trenchless technology while keeping the values the business was founded on.

The company headquartered at its current Carroll, OH facility in Fairfield County. That location has been the operational base through every generation of equipment: from the hand-snake era of the late 1970s, through the early hydro-jetting fleet in the 1990s, through the current in-house CIPP pipe lining and pipe bursting capabilities added in the 2010s–2020s.

Restore the Pipe. Preserve the Property.

We believe sewer and water-line work should be done with precision, honesty, and the least amount of disruption possible. Every job is based on real inspection, clear communication, and doing the work right the first time — finished with a camera-verified close-out the homeowner can keep on file.

Trenchless methods are not a luxury. In Central Ohio's aged housing stock — with its century-old clay-tile belts, mid-century Orangeburg subdivisions, and 1970s cast iron neighbourhoods — trenchless repair is the cost-effective, property-preserving standard. Wooley Water Sewer Trenchless was built around that standard.
