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.
