Pipe Bursting
Trenchless Pipe Replacement Without the Mess
Pipe bursting is a modern, trenchless method of replacing damaged or failing sewer lines without the need for large, disruptive excavation. Instead of digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping, we break apart the old pipe underground while installing a brand‑new pipe in its place—quickly and efficiently.
At Smitty's Sewer Services, we use pipe bursting to restore sewer lines with minimal impact to your property and long‑lasting results you can depend on.
What Is Pipe Bursting?
Pipe bursting involves inserting a specialized bursting head into the existing sewer line. As it moves through the pipe, it fractures the old material outward while simultaneously pulling a new, high‑durability pipe into position. This method is ideal for replacing:
- Cracked or collapsed pipes
- Clay, cast iron, Orangeburg, or PVC sewer lines
- Pipes damaged by root intrusion or corrosion
- Aging sewer systems that need full replacement
