Pipe Bursting replaces a damaged or undersized sewer by breaking the old pipe and pulling a new one into the same alignment. It is ideal when open-cut would destroy hardscape or interiors, or when upsizing the line matters. We design each run from measurements and footage, then execute with the right heads, rods, and pulling force for a clean, permanent result.
CCTV Verification & Run Design
We log distance, turns, depth, and connections so the bursting train, pipe spec, and staging are correct before mobilization.
Minimal-Excavation Access Pits
Small entry/exit pits give us launch and reception points while protecting slabs, landscaping, and structures.
On-Spec Pipe & Upsizing Options
Install new HDPE or approved materials to local code. Upsize where hydraulics demand greater capacity.
Service Reinstatement & Cleanouts
Reconnect laterals properly and add cleanouts or access points to make future maintenance straightforward.
Bypass & Occupant Coordination
Temporary bypass keeps buildings operational during the changeover.
Surface Protection & Limited Restoration
Site protection, containment, and neat backfill. Full restoration can be coordinated on request.
Compliance & Documentation
Licensed installation aligned to code and manufacturer specs. Post-video and summary provided. Permit guidance available (client holds permits by default).
Emergency Stabilization
For critical failures, we triage first, then schedule the bursting run as the permanent fix.
