How it works

Pipe bursting is a method that has been used for many years. It allows your sanitary sewer to be replaced without the need for trenching your property. In some cases, we may have to trench if there is a belly within the sewer line. A belly is, simply put, an area where the pipe is sagging, causing it to hold water.

With pipe bursting trenchless technology we only need to dig two holes. We dig one within your basement or on the outside 5′ away from your foundation over the cast-iron transition. The other hole we will dig next to the city’s curb over the city’s lateral or within the street. This allows us to make a positive connection to the city’s lateral or tap the city main.

The city code requires that there is a clean out every 100 ft which limits the length of the pull. We are able to pull up to 100’ of 4” or 6” High Density Polyurethane pipe.
