Sewer & Pipe Bursting Process Throughout Florida

The pipe bursting process involves replacing broken and collapsed sections of pipelines without digging deep trenches. Typically, the pipe bursting process involves creating two small-scale access points — one to insert the pipeline bursting equipment through and the other for the equipment to be removed through.

After these access points have been established, the drilling head is inserted into the pipeline. The bursting equipment pushes out the fragments of the breaking pipe into the soil, creating more space for the new pipe to be safely installed. The new HDPE pipe seamlessly takes the place of the host pipe. Pipe bursting can be applied to fix a wide range of pipeline materials, including: PVC, Orangeburg, Clay, and Cast iron.

How We Diagnose

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, we take our time to diagnose the problem and ensure that our customers make the final choice.

Your pipe bursting sewer drain line 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.

Pipe Bursting Sewer Lateral Line

The sewer lateral line is a specific pipeline that connects the sewer system in a home or business to the city main line found beneath streets. The lateral line runs beneath the building and the property itself, making traditional, dig-and-replace solutions extensive and potentially more costly due to the amount of demolition required.

With pipe bursting, the time taken to complete the replacement is significantly reduced. Prior to determining if pipe bursting is necessary, it needs to be cleaned and inspected properly. With our high-quality cameras, we can quickly determine the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action.

Pipe Bursting Sewer Main Line

The sewer main line is connected to homes and businesses through the lateral line and is positioned beneath roads and streets. If the sewer main collapses due to extreme weather or corrosion, our experts at Pipe Surgeons can quickly fix the problem. Our pipe bursting equipment keeps the repairs minimally invasive and fast, quickly replacing the damaged portions of the line without additional excavation on properties across Florida.
