A brand-new pipe pulled through the path of the old one: full replacement with minimal digging.
Pipe bursting replaces an old pipe with a new one in the same path. A bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, breaking it outward into the surrounding soil, while a new, continuous pipe, usually HDPE, is pulled in behind it. It requires just two small pits, one at each end.
It is a strong choice when a pipe is too damaged for lining, for example, collapsed, severely cracked or made of fragile material like Orangeburg or clay, and when you want a full replacement without trenching your yard. We assess soil, nearby utilities and pipe depth before recommending it.
A new continuous pipe with no joints to leak.
Two small pits instead of a long trench.
Works when lining is not an option.
Much faster than open-cut replacement.

Final inspection of the new line.

Common problemBellies & CollapsesA sag holds water and solids. A collapse stops flow entirely. Both need repair, not just cleaning.Learn more Six questions about your pipe and what the camera found, and we rank cleaning, spot repair, lining, bursting and replacement for you.
We ask a few questions, give you immediate tips and send the right equipment.
We look inside the pipe to find the cause, not just the symptom.
You see the findings and approve a price before work begins.
Cable, hydro jetting or repair, with the least disruption to your property.
A second camera pass confirms the line is clear and sound.
We explain what caused it and set up prevention so it does not return.
When the old pipe has collapsed, is badly offset or is made of material that lining cannot bond to, bursting is usually the better choice.
It can if they are close. We locate and plan around other utilities.
Typically HDPE, a tough continuous plastic pipe.
Often a bit more, but it is a full replacement.
