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.
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.
