Non-Invasive Pipe Bursting in Seattle, WA, and Surrounding Areas

What is Pipe Bursting?

Pipe bursting is the ultimate trenchless replacement method. At its most basic level, this method involves intentionally breaking damaged sewer systems with trenchless techniques. This makes replacement easier and safer than the more traditional digging methods.

First, a cone-shaped bursting head is attached to a replacement pipe then fed through the entry point to the broken sewer line. As the point breaks up the existing pipe, the new pipe is fed into place and fills the cavity left behind by the bursting head.

Benefits of pipe bursting include:

• Less labor-intensive work — No digging means easier work without heavy machinery or manual labor.
• Less damage to the site — When there is less damage, there is less cleanup and fewer repairs to be made.
• Fewer repair costs — Pipe bursting saves money by using fewer laborers to both perform the repairs and restore your yard to its previous, beautiful condition.
• Improved safety — Excavations are hazardous, as they can often dig up mold and asbestos. Skip the digging altogether to protect you and your family.
• Increased flow — Installing a larger pipe with pipe bursting allows for smoother flow and fewer chances for blockages.

Trenchless Pipe Replacement through Pipe Bursting

In some instances, we can’t perform sewer pipe line repair. This usually happens when the pipe has deteriorated to a point that inserting a liner doesn’t work. There has to be a substantial amount of pipe material intact for lining to work.

In situations like these, we use a trenchless sewer replacement method called pipe bursting. This method uses hydraulic power to push a steel bursting head through the damaged pipe. The head breaks up the pipe into tiny pieces and pushes them aside to be absorbed by the soil. As this is happening, a new pipe is dragged into place. Pipe bursting requires two small access points and can get you a new sewer line within a matter of hours.

What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

This is a non-invasive method that doesn’t require digging like tradition pipe line repair does. Instead of creating a trench in your yard to reach the underground pipe, we use equipment that only requires one or two small access points. One of these access points is usually a sewer cleanout.
