What Is Sewer Pipe Bursting?
Sewer line bursting uses a technology that allows pipes to be replaced without digging a trench and with little disruption to your yard.
Here’s how pipe bursting works:
- Sewer Camera Inspection – Using the latest video camera inspection technology, Plumbing’s licensed St. Louis plumbers insert a specially designed high-resolution video camera into your sewer pipe. During the sewer inspection, our video cameras transmit quality high-resolution video images back to our plumbers. This allows us to locate the exact depth and location of your existing sewer line.
- Dig Small Entry and Exit Points – We then dig two small entry and exit points, one near your foundation and the other near your property line. We need these to push the new sewer pipe in to burst the old pipe.
- Weld New Pipes in Place with Heat – Our sewer replacement pipe is actually rated for a 50 year life. We heat-weld the new sewer line pipe above ground so that its connections never go bad in the future. This means you won’t have to worry about tree roots entering and clogging your sewer drains ever again!
- Burst Old Pipes by Pull New Pipes Through – We then mechanically pull the new pipe through the old pipe. The old pipe is bursted and the new sewer pipe is installed at the same time to complete the job!
