About the process
A small launch and receiving pit are dug, usually at the home foundation and property line. Pipe bursting equipment is set up at one end, and the pipe is launched from the other.
A conical busting head is fitted on the new pipe, which varies depending on the material of the old pipe. Using the existing pipe as a guide, the hydraulic pipe bursting equipment cuts through the existing pipe whilst simultaneously pulling a new, seamless, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe into place behind it.
The new pipe will be tied in and connection completed before a post-installation camera inspection is conducted, followed by backfilling and compacting the small excavation sites.
Pipe bursting is a permanent repair for the following issues:
Root intrusion and blockages- Cracks in the sewer line
- Broken pipes or joints
- Ovalling/ovalled/egg-shaped pipes
- Partially collapsed pipes
- Replacing a pipe made from older material which has reached the end of its lifespan (for example no corrode, Orangeburg, clay tile, asbestos cement, cast iron, concrete, ductile iron mains etc)
Root intrusion and blockages
Maximum care, minimal impact
Pipe bursting is a cutting-edge method of replacing an existing water or sewer pipe while causing minimal damage and disturbance to the ground around it. Pipe bursting is a permanent repair for root intrusion and pipe blockages, sewer line cracks, broken pipes or joints, ovalling, partially collapsed pipes and replacement of old material which has come to the end of its lifespan (i.e. clay tile, asbestos cement, cast iron or concrete).

“A++ Amazing! This is the first time I have been 100% happy with a contractor. Great workmanship, wonderful customer service and the best price quoted (from 8 different sewer repair/plumbing companies). TerraBurst went FAR beyond my expectations and I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
John
“We had the sewer line and water line replaced in the same time, the work is absolutely non-invasive, nothing has been damaged and does not even show. Was a blast to see them go. The job was completed by 3pm. We were very impressed by their professionalism, efficiency and kindness. Would highly recommend!”
Marie
The guys did an excellent job fixing our sewer line. I was very impressed with how little damage there was to my front lawn where they excavated. They were very careful to put everything back to where it belonged and compact all the dirt to the original level. The crew was very friendly and informative during the whole process.”

“Terra burst was subcontracted to replace a collapsing sewer line at my home after a severe sewer backup. The conditions were challenging, but they were able to get the job done within budget and on time. Colin and his team pride themselves on their work and making sure the customer gets what they need.”
Chris
"Crew did a great, and clean, job replacing my sewer pipe. They were very polite and good to deal with. When they had to come into the house they didn’t leave a mess. When they finished in the yard they did a great job cleaning up after themselves too."
