Understanding Pipe Bursting

The job of a plumber consists not only of fixing the plumbing issues at hand, but also of giving the property owner an idea of what was done to address the problem. One of the more technical services we offer here at Sewer Pro is a procedure called pipe bursting. It is one of the most efficient methods of sewer repair in Gahanna, OH.

To help you have a better understanding of what goes on during pipe bursting and how it can benefit you, we’ve prepared a basic guide for you.

What Is Pipe Bursting?

Pipe bursting refers to a technique of repairing or replacing damaged pipe lines without digging trenches. Pipe bursting is a trenchless method that utilizes mechanically-applied force and high-grade bursting heads. The bursting head breaks up the existing pipe as it places the new pipe in the space where the damaged pipe used to be. This method allows our technicians to replace the sewer line without damaging your yard. 

How Pipe Bursting Works

The pipe bursting process utilizes the already existing sewer line infrastructure. This structure works as a guide for placing new pipes with little or no disturbance to the surrounding areas. For effective sewer line replacement, our team of experts uses a static pulling head or a pneumatic hammer to replace the existing pipe. We then break the old pipe, shift it outwards into the soil, and fill the old pipe’s space with a new pipe.

Why You Should Consider the Pipe Bursting Method

Unlike traditional sewer repair services, pipe bursting is more efficient, safer, and cost-effective. Virtually, trenchless technologies don’t expose any natural elements or gases, such as asbestos or mold. Besides, pipe bursting reduces labor and yard repair costs associated with traditional pipe replacement methods. Also, pipe bursting is an environmentally-friendly approach that reduces site damage.
