    Pipe Bursting is accomplished by running a cable through the existing damaged pipe and attaching it to a special tool called a bursting head. The bursting head is then securely fastened to the new pipe that is to be installed.

    On the other end, the cable is attached to a hydraulic pulling machine that provides the power to force the bursting head through the old pipe with the new pipe in tow, simultaneously breaking up the old pipe in the process at the rate of approximately 1 foot per minute. Once the project begins it does not take long for the bursting process to be completed and in most cases sewer repair pipe bursting projects take less than a day for residential applications. However, some jobs depending on the size and scope of the work can take longer to complete. Our trained technicians will provide written estimates before work begins outlining the time frame expectations.

    One common question we get asked is what type of pipe will replace the old pipe? This is an excellent question as the type of pipe to be ‘pulled’ into place needs to be very strong and flexible. Typically, contractors like to use a pipe called, HDPE, High Density PolyEthylene. Due to the flexibility of HDPE pulling it into place makes it reliable choice. It is also well suited for dynamic soils and areas prone to earthquakes. Additionally, HDPE is a cost effective choice and is easy to install. The Plastics Pipe Institute estimates the service life for HDPE pipe to conservatively be 50-100 years. It is our preferred pipe bursting choice for both residential and commercial applications, over the years this type of pipe has meet and exceeded all of our expectations. If you would like more informaton on HDPE don’t hesitate to ask us about prior jobs and the life expectancy.

    HDPE pipe can be joined by thermal fusion (heat) to form a joint that is as strong as the pipe itself and is leak free. Without the need to add joints or other type of cuplings we are able to seal the pipe joints together ensuring a leak free application. So if you are looking to rehabilitate your sewer line you should look into having you line burst and pull a brand new HDPE thermal fused line in place. Once it is installed and in the ground it is literally a ‘worry free’ product that will last a lifetime.
