Repairing a broken sewer line or septic system pipe can be a long, costly, and destructive process, especially if workers have to dig a trench all the way across your yard. Fortunately, many issues can be corrected with trenchless pipe bursting, a process that can usually be completed in a matter of hours without destroying your landscaping. If you’re dealing with a broken septic system line or sewer pipe, understand your options to ensure you get the best service possible.

What Is Trenchless Pipe Bursting?

Instead of digging up the entire damaged line, trenchless pipe bursting breaks it with a special conical attachment. The bursting head is attached to the replacement line, then fed through the existing pipe with a pull rod or hydraulic power. Due to the shape of the bursting head, the existing pipe is shattered and pushed through the other side, leaving the replacement line in its place.

The Benefits of Trenchless Pipe Bursting

Your septic system line or sewer pipe may run underneath existing landscaping or carefully tended flower beds, which would have to be destroyed if the pipe were excavated. Pipe bursting, on the other hand, involves digging just two small holes, leaving your yard, plants, and soil intact.

Pipe bursting is also much faster than excavation, and can usually be accomplished by much smaller crews. In most cases, this makes pipe bursting the more affordable option, especially when you factor in the costs of restoring your landscaping.
