Replace Damaged Underground Pipes Without Digging Up the Entire Property
When an underground sewer or water line fails, traditional pipe replacement can mean extensive excavation, damaged landscaping, disrupted parking lots, and significant restoration costs.
Pipe bursting provides a trenchless alternative. This underground pipe replacement method allows an existing damaged pipe to be broken apart while a new pipe is pulled into its place, often eliminating the need to excavate the entire length of the existing pipeline.
United Installers Plumbing provides trenchless pipe replacement solutions for commercial plumbing projects where minimizing excavation and property disruption is important.
What Is Pipe Bursting?
Pipe bursting is a trenchless sewer and pipe replacement technology used to replace deteriorated, damaged, or undersized underground piping.
A specialized bursting head travels through the existing pipeline, breaking the old pipe apart while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into the newly created pathway.
Depending on the project, pipe bursting can be an effective alternative to traditional open-trench excavation.
When Is Pipe Bursting Used?
Pipe bursting may be considered when underground piping is:
- Cracked or broken
- Collapsed
- Severely deteriorated
- Undersized
- Damaged by root intrusion
- No longer capable of handling required flow
- Located beneath pavement, concrete, parking lots, or landscaping
It can be especially useful when excavation would interfere with a business’s operations or require substantial surface restoration.
Benefits of Trenchless Pipe Replacement
Pipe bursting can provide several advantages compared with conventional excavation:
- Less surface excavation
- Reduced disruption to businesses and customers
- Less damage to landscaping and pavement
- Reduced restoration requirements
- Ability to replace certain underground pipes with minimal surface disturbance
- Opportunity to increase pipe diameter in certain applications
