Diagnosing a Pipe Burst

Displacing old pipes can be removed in many different ways, and pipe bursting makes it possible to replace any pipe. But before we recommend pipe bursting as the ideal solution for pipe problems, we take our time to diagnose the problem and ensure that our customers make the final choice. Pipe bursting is a great method for fixing old pipes without needing trenches in the ground to access them.

Modern technology gives us the capability to use jetter hoses with an attached camera and pipe bursting heads to easily replace old pipes. The benefits of this method include installing a new pipe with the same dimensions as the old one, as well as establishing better flow and support throughout the pipe.

Pipe Bursting Methods

We have a variety of pipe bursting techniques that we rely on here at Pipe Surgeons. Each customer's situation is unique, and we make sure we are equipped with the tools to fix any problem.

Your pipe burst cost can vary, depending on:

Accessibility of sewer cleanout:

A sewer cleanout is the access point for plumbers to get into your home’s sewer line. If your sewer cleanout is on ground-level, it will be less expensive than if your sewer cleanout is located on the roof.

Equipment needed:

Our plumbers will attempt to unclog your drain using a drain cable machine first. If the clog cannot be cleared using the drain cable machine, we may recommend hydro jetting, which will likely raise the total cost of the project.

Plumbing:

You’ll pay more for better-quality plumbers. With any plumbing work, you want a plumber who’s licensed and experienced, offers strong warranties and has a good reputation.

Static Pipe Bursting

Static pipe bursting is a method implemented when a gas and sewer line needs to be replaced. This method reduces the need to dig trenches and is powered by a hydraulic power unit, offering an efficient solution for fixing these vital lines quickly.

Pneumatic Bursting

At Pipe Surgeons, we recommend pneumatic bursting if a large sewer, gas, or water line needs to be replaced. This method is powered by an air compressor and is ideal for large-diameter pipe replacement projects.
