Pipe Bursting (The Trenchless System)

Speedy Rooter Plumbing wants you to be an informed consumer. The following information on Pipe Bursting or the Trenchless Method is meant to introduce a technique available for handling your plumbing crisis. Whether you are a homeowner with a broken pipe buried in your yard, or you a city planner facing a crisis of a different kind with broken pipes under road surfaces, you need to know that there is a cost effective alternative solution to handling this plumbing emergency.

No one enjoys having his or her yard dug up, landscaping ruined, and neatly manicured lawn destroyed… Most roads whether in the city or in rural environments would also benefit from not having to be peeled back to reveal the pipes underneath. But until recently, if a clogged or broken pipe lay beneath, than this was the inevitable outcome. This would mean for consumer not only the expense of fixing the original problem; the broken pipe. But now there were additional expenses as the surface over the buried pipe had to be replaced, re-planted, resurfaced… etc. Pipe Bursting does away with this secondary “fallout” as it were.

This technique called pipe bursting makes it possible to replace a piece of pipe without having to actually dig up the existing lines. Very simply stated, this is accomplished by pulling a bursting tool through the pipe needing repair. The tool or devise expands the old pipe causing it to burst, depositing the shattered fragments into the soil. A new piece of pipe is then pulled into place as the devise moves forward.
