WHO WE ARE
We’re not here to sell the same old stuff—we’re here to put real tools in the hands of real pros. The kind of gear that actually gets the job done.
What started as our passion for performance and service has turned into fuel for no-dig crews across the Midwest and beyond.
Based just outside Cincinnati, OH, we’re locked, loaded, and ready to deliver the toughest trenchless pipe rehab equipment, rock-solid materials, and straight-shooting training—fast!
We stand behind everything we sell. If we wouldn’t run it on our own jobs, you won’t find it on our shelves. This is gear you can count on when the job’s on the line and the trenchless path is the only way forward.
We’re not just a supplier—we’re a movement. A mission. A fist in the air for every tradesman who chooses the cleaner, faster, sustainable road of trenchless pipe repair.
Derrick Klotter, Operations & Warehouse Manager
If you’ve ever stood in a muddy hole at 5 a.m. with a broken main staring back at you, you already know why Derrick Klotter chose trenchless pipe repair. He didn’t come up through a boardroom; he came up through excavation—steel-toed boots, busted knuckles, and long days in deep shaft sewer repair. Nearly 30 years later, that same jobsite grit still shows. Derrick is the guy who figured out there had to be a smarter, safer way than tearing up streets and properties. He moved from traditional dig-and-replace into trenchless early, and he never looked back.
Derrick’s background makes him dangerous—in the best way. He understands the earth, the pipe, and the physics because he’s worked them. He’s mapped bypass plans at dawn and buttoned up restorations at dusk. He knows what it costs—time, risk, dollars—every time a bucket hits dirt, and he knows how fast those costs drop when you go no-dig. That’s why he became an early advocate for trenchless methods: fewer risks, tighter control, better outcomes. Safer for crews. Cleaner for customers. Faster for the schedule. The work still demands skill, but it rewards the crew that knows its craft.
“Nut and bolt” isn’t a cliché with Derrick—it’s a job description. He thrives on the mechanics: air, water, resin, liners, pressure, temperature, cure profiles, and the small adjustments that make the big difference. He’s the guy who will pull a cutter apart, refine a setup, and put it back together better than it left the factory. He has tuned inversion setups for tricky runs, and pushed crews to log every step so jobs can be repeated at the same quality for the next hundred installs after that. Method beats luck. Process beats heroics. That’s how you scale trenchless without losing your shirt—or your reputation.
Trenchless Boss was built for that mindset. Derrick helped shape the company into a place where the work comes first, and the gear has to earn its keep—not just on a spec sheet. He pushes technology because customers deserve better than “good enough.” If there’s a way to make a cut faster, a cure more reliable, a patch tighter, or a run safer, he’s on it—testing, measuring, and documenting. He doesn’t just recommend tools; he demands performance from them. And if the equipment or method isn’t there yet, he helps create it.
What sets Derrick apart is how he teaches. He’s relentless about fundamentals: pipe prep, cleaning, access, measuring, mixing, curing, documentation. He drills on safety. He builds crews that can diagnose problems almost before they happen. He’s mentored operators who now run their own crews, and he’s helped established plumbing companies built on trenchless services the right way—profitably, repeatably, with fewer callbacks.
Justin Beighle — Training & Success Manager
Justin Beighle didn’t pick the easy road. With more than two decades in the plumbing trenches and his plumbing license to back it up, he chased the hardest problems and solved them with the smartest tools. In 2012, he made a clean pivot into CIPP lining and never looked back. The old way—dig, disrupt—wasted time and tore up customers’ lives. Trenchless gave him control: better margins, safer sites, faster turnarounds, and results he could stand behind. That’s the kind of progress he respects.
He’s a builder by nature—of systems, crews, and businesses. Starting from zero, Justin built a trenchless-only operation into a multi-million-dollar machine by doing the simple things better than anyone else: meticulous pipe prep, disciplined setups, clean mixes, predictable cures, and proof-of-work documentation.
As Training & Success Manager at Trenchless Boss—and a co-founder—Justin turns that blueprint into repeatable wins for other contractors. He teaches the field the way the field needs it: straight, practical, and ruthless about details. He breaks the work into plays and expects crews to run them. No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just a proven sequence that takes chaos out of the job and puts money back into the business.
Justin is a hands-on instructor. He’ll walk a crew through a resin ratio until the numbers are right and the results are tight. He’s equally focused on what happens after the install—documentation, videos, pressure charts, and a post-job debrief to bank the lesson. He wants operators who can diagnose problems before they blow up a schedule, and owners who can read their job costs without flinching. Training, in his world, isn’t a class—it’s a way of life.
The reason contractors listen is simple: he’s done the work at scale. He knows the stress and pressure of a shut-down window, and the cost of getting it wrong. He also knows the power of a dialed-in crew armed with a clear plan and gear that’s maintained like clockwork.
At Trenchless Boss, Justin helped design a program that meets contractors where they are—brand new, seasoned pros, or anywhere in between. He teaches the right methods and materials, operator training that sticks, and field support that answers when it counts. He’s not selling theory; he’s building capability. The metric is contractor success: higher close rates, shorter cycles, fewer reworks, and a brand reputation that opens doors. When a customer calls with a nasty run or a tight turnaround, Justin is the voice that cuts through the static and sets a plan that works. Trenchless Boss exists to build successful contractors.
Justin is constantly testing—new resins, smarter cure strategies, better cuts, cleaner access approaches. If it doesn’t make the work safer, faster, or more profitable, it’s just noise. If it does, he’ll teach it, document it, and roll it out to crews across the US.
What drives Justin is simple: help good contractors become great, and help great contractors scale without losing their standards. He believes trenchless is more than a method; it’s a competitive edge for anyone willing to do the work right. That’s why he co-founded Trenchless Boss—so operators and owners have a partner who’ll train them hard, back them up, and push them past “good enough.”
No excuses. Just real success stories.
