What is Pipe Bursting?
Pipe bursting is a method that is practical when the pipe we are replacing is not circular anymore or is starting to collapse.
The pipe bursting method is done by excavating 2 holes: one as a start/entrance pit and a second as an exit pit. Then we send a cable through the pipe. On one end there is a cone that splits the pipe, pulls it apart, and has a cone attached to the new pipe to replace the line. On the other end of the cable there is a puller set up that attaches to the cable, pulls the cone through the pipe, and slides the new pipe in behind the bursting cone.
This method can split cast iron, clay, transite, cement, and ductile iron pipes. We can use this method to replace lines under driveways, sidewalks, homes, highways, and other things that make traditional digging expensive or impossible. We are able to replace drain lines, water lines, sewer lines, and about any other line that would need to be replaced with this method. Call us now for an estimate!
Before & After
These before and after shots are of a home where our customer had a lawn he did not want to have dug up at all to replace his sewer line. We dug down in his basement where the sewer line left the home and pulled a new line into his home. This saved his lawn and when we were finished you couldn’t even tell we were there.
Save Time, Money, and Most Your Lawn
The next 3 pictures are of another customer that did not want to replace their lawn after digging up a water service from the house to the city water meter. We cut a hole in the foundation wall where the line left the home and pulled a new line from the house to the meter. We only had to excavate at the meter, saving the lawn, sprinklers, time and money.
