When a sewer line is too damaged to line, pipe bursting replaces it underground by pulling a new HDPE pipe through the old one — no open trench across your yard.
Pipe bursting is a trenchless replacement method. A bursting head is pulled through the existing pipe, fracturing it outward while simultaneously drawing a new, seamless HDPE pipe into its place. The result is a full replacement without a continuous trench.
It's the right fix when the host pipe is too collapsed, back-bellied, or deteriorated to accept a CIPP liner — the line needs full replacement, but the homeowner wants to avoid tearing up the yard, driveway, or finished landscape.
We camera-inspect and confirm the line requires full replacement.
We excavate two small access pits at the entry and exit points.
We pull the bursting head through the old pipe, fracturing it while drawing the new HDPE pipe into place.
We connect the laterals and re-camera the new line to verify the result.
We camera the line to confirm replacement is warranted, excavate two small access pits at each end, pull the bursting head and new HDPE pipe through the old line, connect the laterals, and re-camera to verify.
Pipe bursting cost depends on depth, length, and access. We quote every job in writing after a camera inspection confirms the line requires full replacement. Call (435) 225-5678 for a camera-verified assessment.
A collapsed or back-bellied line that can't be lined only worsens. Sewage backs into the home and the eventual emergency excavation costs far more than a planned trenchless replacement.
We provide pipe bursting across Ogden, West Haven, Roy, North Ogden, and the surrounding Weber County area within 75-mile of West Haven.
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method that replaces a sewer line by pulling a new HDPE pipe through the old one, fracturing it outward. No continuous trench is needed.
When the existing pipe is too collapsed, back-bellied, or deteriorated to accept a liner. Pipe bursting fully replaces the line rather than rehabilitating it.
Two small access pits at each end of the run — not a continuous trench across your yard. The new pipe is pulled underground between the two pits.
HDPE (high-density polyethylene) — a seamless, flexible, root-resistant pipe that doesn't crack at joints like clay or cast iron.
