Trenchless Sewer Replacement: Pipe Bursting Method

 

 

Tearing up your home, yard, and hardscaping is a thing of the past.  Pipe bursting is a trenchless sewer replacement method where a large cone shape head is hydraulically pulled by steel cable through the old sewer line, breaking apart the old pipe underground while at the same time pulling into place a seamless HDPE pipe that is the same size or larger than the old pipe.

Pipe Bursting Benefits

⦁ Save ~40% compared to traditional methods

⦁ Repairs happen underground without expensive and damaging trenchwork.

⦁ Pipes replaced with seamless high quality HDPE pipe

 

 

How Does It Work?

 

⦁ Identify the Problem by Sewer Camera 

When we come to your home we will run a camera through your sewer main lines and/or kitchen/laundry lateral lines.  From here the technician will be able to evaluate your needs and recommend the best solution trenchless sewer repair for your specific problem.

⦁ Access The Sewer Line 

Two small holes are dug at either end of the sewer run that will be replaced.  Cable is inserted at one 

end and fed through.  One end of the cable is attached to a pneumatic jack while the other end is 

attached to a cone shaped bursting head.

⦁ New Pipe Inserted In Place Of Old Pipe 

The bursting head is attached to a new seamless, heat-fused HDPE pipe.  As the bursting head is 

pulled through the old sewer line, it simultaneously breaks apart the old pipe (even cast iron) and pulls behind the new pipe.

What Are The Benefits Of Pipe Bursting?

⦁ No Major Digging Required 

Trenchless sewer replacement is performed via small access points which means that damage is minimized.  You skip the week of excavation equipment at your home, piles of dirt in your yard, 

and subcontractor haggling to fix the damage.

⦁ Saves Time And Money 

Not only is excavation expensive for home owners, but creates an additional expense for remediation

 of the project site. When you factor the potential of subsequent repairs to your landscaping, porches, walkways, and driveways - you add a significant additional cost to a more expensive method.
