Pipe Bursting 

Out of Sight, But Never Out of Line.

What is Bursting?

Pipe Bursting is an excavation-free pipe replacement method used to replace old or damaged underground pipes without having to dig up your entire property. 

Instead of removing the old pipe, we break it apart underground using a specialized bursting head and pull a brand new, high-strength HDPE pipe through the same path.  

This is the most effective method for replacing old, failing pipes. On top of keeping your yard, driveway, and business intact and operational, you're guaranteed a lifetime-lasting upgrade that will leave you with peace of mind and stability.

Old broken pipes leak, collapse, shift, and cause damage from the inside out. Stalling business operations, uprooting lives, and leaving property owners scrambling, one unseen rupture will turn calm into crisis within seconds.

Pipe Bursting replaces failing lines without the chaos of digging up your entire property. It's faster, cleaner, and built to outlast the old system, saving you time, money, and future headaches. But who exactly is this for?  

Pipe Bursting

For the Decision-Makers

If you're weighing out your options, here's what to consider:

  • What would a sudden pipe failure cost you in repairs, downtime, and peace of mind? Are you prepping?

  • Will repairing the pipe now save you from excavation and property damage later?

  • Constantly calling someone to come in and repair the issue, not the overall problem?

How It Works

01

We start by identifying the damaged pipe using advanced locating tools and inspection cameras. Pure precision.

Prep Two Access Points

Instead of digging up the whole yard, we only need two small entry points: one at the start of the pipe and one at the end. 

  • What would a sudden pipe failure cost you in repairs, downtime, and peace of mind? Are you prepping? 

  • Will repairing the pipe now save you from excavation and property damage later?

  • Constantly calling someone to come in and repair the issue and not the overall problem? 

After we've pulled the pipe through, we hook everything back up to your system and test to make sure water is flowing perfectly.

Instead of removing the old pipe, we break it apart underground using a specialized bursting head and simultaneously pull a brand new, high-strength HDPE pipe through the same path.

Reconnect & Restore Flow

Going through our entry points, a powerful bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, breaking it apart underground. At the same time, a brand new HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipe is seamlessly pulled into place behind it.

For the Decision Makers

Here are some things to consider when making the decision:

Reconnect & Restore Flow

Minimal disruption, no trenches left behind, and your new pipe is stronger, lifetime-lasting, and built to modern standards.

Why Bursting is the Smart Move

What You Want

Pipe Bursting

CIPP Lining

Slip Lining

Spot Repair

Longevity & Durability

Replaces entire pipe with brand-new, high strength HDPE pipe

Old pipe remains, a new "pipe" within the old one is formed

Old pipe remains, a new "pipe" within the old one is formed

Repairs only one small section, the rest stays aging

Fixes the Entire Problem

Yes - bursting removes damaged pipe and replaces it completely

Not completely - the underlying pipe remains and can still degrade

No - only lines inside, doesn't remove old pipe

No - targets only one localized failure

Public Image & Liability

Less chance of recurring issues and complaints 

Repeat issues will occur if more of the pipe fails 

Risk of reduced pressure and partial failures

High risk of missed issues and future breakdowns

Property Disruptuion

Trenchless, minimal surface disruption

Trenchless, minimal surface disruption

Trenchless, but requires longer entry/exit pits

May require digging, depends on location and case

Flow Capacity

Better and stronger than the original pipe

Often slightly reduced due to lining thickness

Reduced - new pipe is smaller than the original

Same flow, however section has higher chance for disruption

Fully Replaced system = fewer surprises. designed to last a lifetime

Peace of Mind

Still relying on weakened old infrastructure

Half-measure solution, will feel like a temporary fix

Constant worry about what spot could break next

Adaptability

Handles nearly all pipe materials and damage types

Limited by pipe condition and layout

Best for straight runs only

Depends entirely on visibility and access

Higher upfront cost, but higher ROI. Very few and low maintenance costs 

Mid-range cost, however lining acts as a "band-aid", so future repairs are inevitable

Lower initial cost, but high potential for costly issues

Cost Over Time

Cheap now, but expensive later, future problems are unavoidable

  • Does it work on all types of pipes?
    Pipe Bursting works with PVC , concrete, cast iron, and clay pipes. Meant to replace water, sewer, and natural gas lines. We usually install a new HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipe meant to last 50-100 years!
  • How soon can you come out for an inspection?
    We typically respond within 24 hours. We know time matters when underground issues are involved.
  • Will I lose service during the process?
    Water or sewer service is temporarily shut off during active work, however we minimize downtime as much as possible.
  • Do I need a permit for this?
    We handle the permitting process and make sure everything is up to code and fully compliant.
  • How long does Pipe Bursting take?
    Most projects are completed within a day or two depending on the length and complexity.
  • How do I know if Pipe Bursting is right for my situation?
    If your existing pipe is damaged, has collapsed, or outdated, bursting is often the most efficient and long-lasting solution. We offer free inspections to help you find out.
  • Do you offer emergency service?
    Yes! We're available 24/7 for emergency calls and situations.
  • What happens if you hit a problem underground?
    Our team uses advanced camera inspections and planning before starting. If we find unexpected complications, we adjust fast and keep you informed every step of the way.
