What do you do when you need to replace a sewer but there's no room for dirt and the customer doesn't want their whole yard or driveway busted up?
The answer, is Pipe Bursting.
Pipe bursting uses a machine capable of pulling a cable with a new sewer attached to it with tremendous force through the old sewer, bursting it and p allowing the new sewer to take its' place.
While a much quicker an convenient method to replacing a sewer, there are drawbacks to using this method. A lot of things have to go right in order for this to work.
After a full day of tedious mental energy and hard work, we managed to replace an entire sewer, just in time for dinner.

as always, thanks for tuning in
we will see you in the next one!

Proud to say that i have done this and relined sewer laterals by blowing in an epoxy soaked "sock" Coolest job I've ever had.

Yeah lining is cool too. We'll get into lining in the future.

I've no idea what I'm looking at or how anything works but it really makes me want to learn and become a plumber in my 40's. Is this a union job? Is it more on the residential side? Is this advanced plumbing or does everyone know how to do this after their first year? I have so many questions.

How much does something like this cost?

@SmedleyPlumbing 2 ай бұрын

All depends on how long, how deep, and what we have to dig the access holes around. We've done them as cheap as $3k and as expensive as $40k

Can pipe bursting be used on main lines throughout home under the foundation and out to the front yard or only outside ? Please help and answer. I appreciate it in advance and thank you ! Also, I’m in AZ so I don’t think your located out here at all but how much would you charge to get on the phone for some advice and professional info on my situation in my home please and thanks !

Shallow depths under concrete and areas where two pipes intersect make using this method indoors in a residential application very unlikely.

So,your pipe became disconnected where it was heat welded. Major f*** up!

THey snapped the pipe when bursting I would be bringing out my lining equipment at that point to fix that gap lol

I''m looking to build a tiny house on a new plot of land. This looks like a viable and affordable way to install a new sewer system and connect it to the cities' sewer line.

This is a great sewer replacement method. This method needs a host pipe in the ground in order to work. New construction will need to be bored or traditionally excavated.

Who thought it was a good idea to put concrete over the sewer lines that deep! I wouldve kepts the top sections of the dirt soft soil. Putting in a sewer line for that house looks like a nightmare

Concrete just crumbles over time underground
