Traditional installation means digging a trench from your house to the street, removing the old pipe, laying in the new one, and backfilling the trench. It works, but it tears up your yard, driveway, landscaping—whatever’s in the path. Pipe bursting is a trenchless method where we dig two small pits, then pull a new pipe through the old one while simultaneously breaking it apart. The new pipe goes in the same path as the old one, underground, with minimal surface disruption. Pipe bursting costs more per foot upfront, but you save on restoration work afterward—no need to replace sod, replant landscaping, or repave sections of driveway. It’s not always an option. If your line is completely collapsed or the soil won’t support it, we’ll need to trench. We evaluate your situation and recommend the method that makes the most sense for your property and budget.
