Pipe Bursting

Pipe Bursting Services

At Flow Pros, we provide professional pipe bursting services as a trenchless solution for replacing severely damaged or undersized sewer and drainage lines with minimal surface disruption. Pipe bursting allows existing pipelines to be replaced without the need for continuous open trench excavation, making it an efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional sewer replacement methods.

During the pipe bursting process, a specialized bursting head is pulled through the existing pipeline, fracturing the old pipe outward while simultaneously installing a new high-strength replacement pipe in its place. This method allows for full pipe replacement while preserving landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, and surrounding infrastructure whenever possible.

Pipe bursting is ideal for addressing:

Collapsed or severely deteriorated sewer lines
Cracked or broken piping
Aging clay, cast iron, Orangeburg, or PVC systems
Undersized sewer services requiring upsizing
Recurring root intrusion problems
Pipes unsuitable for trenchless lining

How It Works

1

Inspect the Existing Line

We start with a detailed CCTV inspection and site evaluation to determine whether the existing sewer line is a suitable candidate for pipe bursting.

2

Confirm the Best Approach

Once the line is assessed, our technicians develop a trenchless replacement plan that minimizes excavation while maintaining safe and efficient installation practices.

3

Using specialized pipe bursting equipment, we replace the damaged line with a new durable pipe while significantly reducing disruption to the surrounding property.
