Pipe bursting replaces your existing sewer line entirely without trenching. A hydraulic bursting head is pulled through the old pipe from one access point to another — fracturing the old pipe outward into the surrounding soil while simultaneously pulling a new HDPE pipe into the same path.
The result is a brand-new, seamless, joint-free sewer line in the exact location of the old one — no excavation of your yard or driveway, and no weeks of property disruption. The new HDPE pipe is flexible, root-resistant, and rated to last 50–100 years.
Pipe bursting is best for severely deteriorated, collapsed, or offset sewer lines that can't be rehabilitated from the inside. It requires two small access points — typically a cleanout at the house and an access point at the connection to the city main.
