What Makes Pipe Bursting Environmentally Friendly?

Pipe bursting is one of the most efficient and cost-effective techniques for replacing old and worn out underground pipes. Sewer Pro has one of the most reliable teams for trenchless pipe bursting in Columbus, OH. You might be pleased to know that trenchless pipe bursting, on top of its efficiency, is also an environmentally friendly choice.

Here’s what makes pipe bursting an eco-friendly pipe restoration solution.

We Don’t Dig Up The Ground

Pipe bursting sewer line replacement involves pushing a bursting head, basically a rod with attached blades, through the old pipes. The bursting head has the new pipe attached to it, which gets inserted into place as the broken pieces of the old pipe are pushed into the soil. This method allows clients to replace their existing pipes with same-sized pipes or expand their size.

Utilizing this method means that your pipe bursting contractor doesn’t have to dig up our client’s lawns, unlike in traditional pipe replacement efforts. Excavation means that clients must plan new landscaping projects, and it could also stir up unhealthy asbestos, mold, and other toxic substances that could contaminate the air, ground, and groundwater.

There Are No Chemicals Involved

Since pipe bursting systems are mechanical, we do not use chemicals to break up the lines. So since there’s no chemicals involved, there’s virtually no chance for it to contaminate the ground around the worksite.

No Physical Waste

During traditional pipe replacement projects, contractors removed the damaged pipes and disposed of them at landfills. However, in pipe bursting, the lines are broken into tiny pieces that are integrated into the ground. This reduces physical waste in landfills and makes it easier for the small pipe pieces to break down.

Reduced Carbon Emissions

The equipment we use for our pipe bursting services is energy efficient and emits significantly lower carbon emissions than the ones used in open-cut pipe replacement.
