Our Story
Our Story: From Garage to Groundbreaking
American Boring Inc. was founded in the mid-1990s by Rocky Roark, a hands-on problem solver with a vision for smarter underground construction. What began in a garage with one drill rig has grown into one of Ohio’s most respected trenchless teams, serving cities, contractors, and engineers across the Midwest.With thousands of successful projects and over 2,477 miles drilled, we deliver expert HDD and Hydrovac services backed by modern equipment and decades of field experience. But what truly sets us apart is the principle we live by every day: integrity. From the first handshake to the final inspection, we dig smart, drill precise, and always get it done—the right way.
