Pipe Bursting Services in Los Angeles
Replace a damaged sewer or water line by bursting the old pipe and pulling new pipe through u2014 minimal digging required.
Pipe bursting is a trenchless replacement method for lines that are too damaged for lining u2014 collapsed sections, severe offsets, or pipe that’s simply at the end of its life. A bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, fracturing it outward while pulling new pipe into place behind it, all through small access points rather than a continuous trench.
This is often the right call when a line runs under a driveway, patio, or structure, or when the new pipe needs to be a different size or material than the original. We confirm with a camera inspection first that bursting u2014 rather than lining u2014 is the right fit.
