What is Pipe Bursting? There are a few options for sewer line repair and replacement: traditional dig-ups as well as replacement of partial/full sewer lines, pipelining to rehabilitate the drain line, and pipe bursting. With pipelining and pipe bursting, customers have a trenchless solution that saves time, money, concrete, and landscaping repair.

Pipe bursting is ideal in situations where the lining is not an option—for example, pipelining on sewer lines with small missing sections, holes, or small breaks. However, when too much line is gone, there is no pipe for the epoxy to form a new pipe. So, it is no longer an option. In that case, we replace the damaged line.

Sewer line replacements can be expensive and time-consuming. It might be necessary to dig up concrete, disturb public sidewalks and streets, or remove landscaping depending on the location, extent, and depth of the damage to the line.

An alternative to typical dig-ups is pipe bursting. Although it is a trenchless alternative, it will need some minor excavation at the access locations at both the beginning and the finish. This enables the new pipes and mechanical bursting tools to be lowered by the specialized equipment.
