trenchless sewer line replacement in ventura & los angeles county

    professional southern california pipe bursting services

    A method of trenchless sewer line replacement, pipe bursting is often the most cost-effective and least intrusive method of restoring sewer services quickly. After performing a sewer camera inspection, we can determine if pipe bursting is ideal to avoid excavation of landscaping and/or concrete. With a commitment to providing residential and commercial customers with an ideal option for permanent sewer line repair solutions, City Plumbing and Rooter has extensive experience in pipe bursting in Ventura County. 

    How Does Pipe Bursting Work?

    Unlike traditional sewer line replacement, pipe bursting does not require full excavation of the existing damaged line. With two small access points at the beginning and end of the line, our team will use top-of-the-line pipe bursting equipment to install a brand new sewer pipe in place of the old line without disruption. Once access is created, we feed a heavy-duty steel cable affixed with a bursting head into the line. Attached to the other end of the cable, a pneumatic jack system is attached to specialty equipment that breaks up the damaged line while it is in ground. As the cable is fed into the line, we insert the flexible, seamless, and incredibly durable High Density Polyethylene pipe (HDPE) in place of the old line. Our pipe bursting crew has extensive training in making this process seamless from start to finish.

    Pipe Bursting Benefits

    Pipe bursting has many benefits as a trenchless alternative to sewer line replacement. It can be used in place of dig-ups, pipelining, and sewer line section repair. The benefits of this technique include:

    Minimal Disruption. Pipe bursting requires only a small amount of disruption to gain access and pull the new pipe into the line. There is no excavation used that would require landscaping or concrete repair once the installation is complete. There is also no need to remove the damaged sewer line, as the bursting thoroughly breaks up the pipe so it can be left in the ground safely.  

    Cost Effective. Without the need to excavate the old damaged sewer line, pipe bursting is a cost-effective solution. This process eliminates excavation costs and repairs, as well as the time involved in traditional sewer line replacements.

    Long-Lasting. The new line installed with pipe bursting is highly durable and long-lasting. HDPE pipes are seamless, so they will be protected against future root intrusion, breaks, and leaks.

    Quick Replacement. In many cases, pipe bursting can be completed within one or two days by eliminating excavation time, removal of the old damaged line, and new installation. Depending on the length of line to be replaced, pipe bursting will allow for quick restoration of sewer facilities for businesses and homeowners.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • How does pipe bursting work?

      Pipe bursting involves threading a bursting head into the old pipe. This head is attached to a new pipe and is pulled through the old pipe using hydraulic machinery. As the bursting head moves through, it breaks the existing pipe apart and expands the surrounding soil. This creates a path for the new pipe, which is pulled into place as the old pipe fragments are displaced.

    • Is pipe bursting safe for the environment?

      Yes, pipe bursting is considered environmentally friendly compared to traditional trenching methods. Since it minimizes surface disruption, it reduces the impact on the local ecosystem and lowers the risk of contaminating nearby water sources with debris and other pollutants. Additionally, because it requires fewer vehicles and machinery on-site, it can lead to a reduction in carbon emissions during the replacement process.

    • What types of pipes can be replaced using pipe bursting?

      The length of time required for hydro jetting will depend on the size of the drain and the severity of the blockage. In most cases, hydro jetting can be completed within a few hours.
