Pipe Bursting
replace existing sewer pipes in Wisconsin
Pipe bursting works by breaking up old sewer pipe and simultaneously installing sewer pipe in its place. We can run new water lines along with new sewer pipe at the same. Since the new pipes are plastic, we install tracer wire along with the new pipe so it can be detected above ground using a scanning device in the future to prevent service interruptions.
We start by digging a receiving pit, and installing a bursting head on the new pipe. The bursting head is then pulled through the existing pipe run using a hydraulic winch toward the receiving pit. This ensures that the new pipe follows the path of the pipe that is being replaced. Once your new pipe reaches the receiving pit, we connect the new pipe(s), restore service to your home or business, and then fill in the launching and receiving pits with ground and/or gravel.
