leaking pipe needed pipe bursting repair in Ottawa

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.
  • 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.
