Replace By Pipe Bursting
When the route, depth, and soil allow, the old line is replaced between two pits.
TRENCHLESS SEWER / PIPE BURSTING
Sewer Pipe Bursting
BREAK THE OLD PIPE. PULL IN THE NEW.
Pipe bursting replaces a damaged sewer line by breaking the old pipe outward while a new one is pulled into its place. We’ll inspect the line and the site and explain whether bursting fits.

UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE
Sewer Pipe Bursting: When To Call A Plumber
A bursting head is pulled through the old sewer pipe, fracturing it and pushing the pieces into the surrounding soil. A new pipe, commonly HDPE, follows directly behind. The work runs between an entry pit and a receiving pit, so the full route does not have to be opened. Depth, soil type, pipe material, nearby utilities, and the route all affect suitability. Underground utilities are located through DigAlert (811) before digging, and the local building authority may require a permit.
WHAT WE'LL CHECK
Your Sewer Pipe Bursting Options
We inspect the accessible line by camera and trace its route and depth. We look at what sits above it, where pits could go, how close other utilities run, and what the pipe and soil are like. Then we explain whether bursting is practical, what the pits involve, what permits may apply, and whether lining or excavation would serve better.
Line Or Excavate Instead
A pipe that still holds its shape may be lined; some routes are better suited to traditional excavation.

GOOD TO KNOW
Sewer Pipe Bursting
Questions Answered.
Have a question about your plumbing? These answers cover what we’re often asked.
How much digging does pipe bursting need?
Usually an entry pit and a receiving pit, plus access at connections if needed. It avoids a trench along the whole route, not all digging.
What kind of pipe goes in?
Pipe bursting commonly uses HDPE pipe pulled in behind the bursting head. We explain the pipe proposed for your line.
Can bursting damage nearby utilities?
Nearby utilities are one reason a site may not suit bursting. Utilities are located through DigAlert (811) before digging, and their position is part of the assessment.
