Frequently Asked Questions

What is pipe bursting?

Pipe bursting is a trenchless method used to replace underground pipes without extensive digging. It works by breaking apart the existing pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place. This allows for full pipe replacement with minimal disruption to your property and surrounding structures.

When should pipe bursting be used?

Pipe bursting is typically used when a pipe is severely damaged, collapsed, or too deteriorated to repair. It’s an ideal solution when full replacement is necessary but you want to avoid the disruption of traditional excavation methods. A professional inspection helps determine if it’s the right approach.

Is pipe bursting better than traditional excavation?

In many cases, pipe bursting is a better option because it reduces the need for large trenches, preserving landscaping, driveways, and other structures. It’s often faster and less invasive while still providing a durable, long-term solution for replacing damaged underground pipes.

What types of pipes can be replaced with pipe bursting?

Pipe bursting is commonly used to replace sewer lines and other underground piping systems. It’s effective for various pipe materials and is often chosen when older pipes need full replacement. This method allows for efficient upgrades without major surface disruption.

How long does pipe bursting take?

The timeline depends on the length of the pipe, site conditions, and complexity of the project. However, pipe bursting is often completed faster than traditional excavation methods, sometimes within a day, making it an efficient option for restoring your plumbing system.
