Trenchless Sewer Replacement in Pittsburgh, PA
A complete trenchless sewer line replacement is performed through a process called pipe bursting. Pipe bursting is a complete sewer line replacement without digging into your property. When your sewer line is too damaged for lining, pipe bursting breaks up the old pipe and pulls a new one into place. The process leaves your lawn in tact and costs down.
What is Pipe Bursting?
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method used to completely replace severely damaged or collapsed sewer lines. It works by using a bursting head that is pulled through the old pipe, fracturing it outward into the surrounding ground, while simultaneously pulling a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe into the same space that the original pipe occupied. This method is ideal for pipes that are beyond repair and need full replacement.
Why HDHE Pipe?
The new pipe replacing the deteriorated pipe is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). It is a material known for its exceptional durability and longevity. HDPE pipes are resistant to corrosion, rust, and chemical damage. The have a lifespan of 50 or more years. The seamless design eliminates weak points where leaks or root intrusion could occur in the future.

When Pipe Bursting Is the Right Choice
Pipe bursting is the best choice for situations as followed:
- Collapsed pipe - When a pipe has collapsed due to age, soil pressure, or damage, lining is no longer an option. Pipe bursting replaces the entire line.
- Severe corrosion - Pipes made of clay, concrete, or other materials that have deteriorated beyond repair need complete replacement.
- Insufficient pipe size - If increasing the pipe diameter is required for more capacity in your household, pipe bursting can replace the smaller diameter pipe.
- Pipe lining damage - When damage is too widespread, lining the pipe would restrict flow or fail
- Multiple sections of pipe failing - If several areas of your sewer line are compromised, replacing the entire line may be more cost-effective than multiple repairs.
- Severe root damage - Severe root intrusion that has destroyed the pipe structure requires complete replacement.
