Pipe Bursting in Phoenix

When a line is collapsed, badly back-pitched, or too far gone to line, pipe bursting pulls a brand-new seamless HDPE pipe through the path of the old one — replacing it end to end without a full-length trench.

OLD HOST PIPE NEW CIPP LINER · 50-YR DESIGN LIFE CRACK

When a sewer line is collapsed, badly back-pitched, or simply too far gone to line, pipe bursting replaces it end to end — without digging a trench down the whole run. A bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, fracturing it outward while drawing a brand-new seamless HDPE pipe into its place.

How it works

  • Camera & locate. We confirm the line is a bursting candidate and mark the path and depth.
  • Access pits. Two small pits — one at each end — instead of a continuous trench.
  • Burst & pull. A winch draws the bursting head through, shattering the old pipe and pulling in new HDPE behind it.
  • Verify. A final camera pass confirms grade, flow, and a continuous joint-free line.

When pipe bursting is the right call

  • Collapsed or crushed sections that block a liner
  • Pipe that’s undersized for the home or building
  • Severe root intrusion or offset joints throughout
  • Old clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg you want gone, not just lined
Straight talk

When it’s not the right fit: Bursting needs room to pull and can be complicated by close-by utilities or certain pipe paths. If your pipe is structurally sound but scaled or cracked at a joint, lining or a spot repair is usually less invasive and less expensive — and we’ll tell you so.

FAQ

Pipe Bursting — questions

Do you have to dig up my whole yard?
No. Bursting needs two small access pits — usually one near the house and one at the connection — instead of a trench down the entire line.
Can any pipe be burst?
Most can, but close-by utilities, certain depths, or specific pipe paths can rule it out. The camera inspection and a locate tell us for certain before we quote.
