What is Sewer Pipe Bursting?

Pipe bursting is when a technician pulls the same size or large pipe through an existing pipe by using a hydraulic or pneumatic expansion head, cable, or winch. The original pipe bursts as the new pipe is installed with minimal impact to the above ground surfaces. Sections of the replacement pipe are heat-welded above ground to ensure connections are strong and long-lasting.

Advantages of Sewer Pipe Bursting

Minimize excavation and impact to above ground surfaces

Minimize property damage

Reduces the risk of damaging underground utilities

Increases pipe lifespan with replacement

Increases flow capacity by installing equal or larger-diameter pipes

Targets root intrusion and assists with reducing erosion of pipes

More than 1,000 ft. of pull length can be used

Most types of existing pipe materials can undergo pipe bursting

Although pipe bursting has several benefits, it may not always be viable. Hydromax Plumbing also offers open-top excavating as an alternative. Both methods have benefits, and our skilled technicians will partner with you to provide the best solutions for your need.
