pORtland Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing underground pipes for sewers, gas, and water. If you need new sewer lines and you don’t want to rip up your property, pipe bursting may be the way to go. Wolcott recommends pipe bursting in cases in which digging trenches could cause extensive property damage. In addition to pipe bursting, we offer pipe relining and pipe coating services to the Portland area.

Pipe Bursting May Be a Good Fit for You

Pipe bursting is like sewer surgery — except that it’s relatively speedy. Exactly how long it takes depends on how much pipe we need to replace, but usually, pipe bursting is complete in a single day. 

• We just need to dig two small holes to access your pipe and thread a cable through it. 
• We use the cable to pull your new pipe into place, breaking (bursting) the old one apart. 
• Then, we fill in the holes and your neighbors are none the wiser. 

Wolcott professionals can use pipe bursting for replacing Orangeburg, cast iron, PVC, ABS, HDPE, and concrete pipes. We can even increase the size of your pipes using this trenchless method.

Benefits of Pipe Bursting

Besides being minimally invasive, pipe bursting is celebrated for its durability and ability to handle a variety of pipe materials and sizes. This method is particularly advantageous for urban settings where typical excavation might be restricted due to proximity to other structures or municipal guidelines. 

• We use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes to replace your old ones. They’re rated to last 50 years or more.
• Since pipe bursting is trenchless, it prevents damage to other utility lines around your sewer line.
• It’s cost-effective: Pipe bursting saves time and money.
