What Our Clients Say on the Ground
Built on transparency, elite safety standards, and unmatched project economics across Western Canada
We had an outstanding experience with PTL. Luke and his crew were incredibly professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. They used directional drilling to replace our water main, which meant they were able to drill accurately beneath approximately 200 feet of our manicured property without tearing up our yard. The entire connection was completed the very same day.
From start to finish, the process was virtually hands-off for us. Luke and his team took care of everything, kept us informed along the way, and removed so much of the stress from what could have been a very overwhelming situation.
When they finished, everything was clean, tidy, and working perfectly. We are so grateful for their hard work, attention to detail, and excellent service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend PTL to anyone needing directional drilling or water main replacement. Thank you, Luke and your team!
We recently worked with PTL Group on a directional drilling and hydrovac excavation project, and their team exceeded expectations from start to finish.
Their professionalism, communication, and attention to safety were outstanding. The hydrovac crew was efficient, precise, and respectful of the site, allowing us to expose utilities with minimal disruption. Their directional drilling team demonstrated an impressive level of expertise, completing the installation accurately and on schedule despite challenging site conditions.
What really sets PTL apart is the quality of their equipment, the experience of their operators, and their commitment to getting the job done right the first time. It’s clear they invest heavily in both their people and their fleet, and it shows in the results.
If you’re looking for a reliable contractor for hydrovac excavation, utility locating, trenchless installations, or directional drilling, I would highly recommend PTL Group. They have become a trusted partner in the Okanagan valley and we look forward to working with them on future projects.
Directional drilling is a game changer for the Okanagan!
I’ve worked with Luke and his team over at PTL and personally witnessed them help homeowners save thousands and keep their yard in tact. Before Luke and his team arrived in the Okanagan, the only other option for homeowners and businesses has been to excavate which can be invasive and expensive.
Now directional drilling gives our Okanagan community another option rather than excavating.
If you have a project in mind, give Luke a call. Him and his team are seasoned professionals.
PTL did a tremendous job on a hydrovac excavation on my property. All the guys were very professional and polite,and were very informative. I would recommend Luke and his team at PTL!
