Pipe bursting is both a reliable and effective pipe replacement, under the right conditions. Depending on soil conditions, you may end up with a pipe that is up to 150% larger in diameter than the initial pipe. Pipe bursting may not be suitable for every situation, like densely populated urban areas, due to the risk of cave-ins. Where it is an appropriate choice, it is usually the most cost-effective choice. This is due to the speed of installation, long-term reliability, and contained nature of the installation.
What is Pipe Bursting Technology?
This is a method of trenchless plumbing, where clients may not want to excavate their property to replace damaged pipes. The bursting head (a large, cone-shaped device) is forced through the damage pipes underground. This destroys up the old pipe while simultaneously lays new pipe made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This method is preferred because it provides a seamless replacement from the inside.
The Pipe Bursting Process
Bursting the pipe and laying the replacement uses the following steps:
- Two holes are dug just outside of both ends of the damaged section of the pipe.
- A high-resolution camera is used to perform an inspection of the pipe to determine the cause and the most appropriate solution.
- The steel cable that guides the bursting head through the pipe is inserted into the damaged pipe.
- The bursting head connected to HDPE is pulled through the pipe using the steel cable.
- As the old pipe breaks, new HDPE is laid to replace it. Old pipe is forced into the soil.
- The new HDPE pipe is connected to the sewer system.
Pipe Bursting Benefits
There are several advantages to pipe bursting in trenchless plumbing repair:
- The cost, mess, and time loss with excavation are avoided.
- The ability to move around and use your property is minimally diminished.
- Repairs follow the current utility layout, so there is a lower risk of failure.
- Potentially better fluid flow than the previous pipe originally had, if HDPE pipe is larger than the initial pipe.
- HDPE pipe is less likely to corrode.

FAQs
1. What does pipe bursting involve, and how does the process work?
Pipe bursting is a trenchless technique for replacing damaged underground pipes without digging up your whole yard. A specialized bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, breaking it outward while simultaneously pulling a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe into place. Only small access pits are needed at the start and end of the line, allowing the existing pipe to be replaced from within.
2. Why choose pipe bursting instead of traditional pipe replacement?
Pipe bursting lets you avoid major digging that can damage your yard, driveway, or other areas. It is usually faster, costs less in labor and repairs, and causes less mess than traditional trenching and replacement.
3. What types of pipes can be replaced with pipe bursting?
Pipe bursting can replace many types of old pipes, like sewer lines, water mains, and other underground pipes. It works on clay, concrete, cast iron, and some types of plastic pipe, making it a flexible option for both homes and businesses.
4. Will pipe bursting damage my yard or landscaping?
Since pipe bursting is trenchless, only small holes are dug at each end of the pipe. There’s no need for big trenches, so your yard stays mostly untouched. After the new pipe is in place, the holes are refilled. Dr. Pipe works to keep your yard looking good while finishing the job quickly.
5. How long does a pipe bursting project usually take?
How long the project takes depends on the pipe’s length, condition, and accessibility. For most homes, pipe bursting can be completed in just a few days, which is much quicker than the weeks required for traditional digging and replacement. The trenchless method helps get the job done faster and with less mess.
