The Trusted Name for Pipe Bursting in Scottsdale, AZ, and Nearby Areas

There are times when pipe coating or other internal pipe repair methods will not suffice. But this doesn't mean traditional dig-and-replace methods are your only option. Pipe bursting is a less disruptive, highly efficient way to replace a pipe with a new one. Let a sewer contractor in Scottsdale, AZ, and nearby areas from Zippity Split Plumbing show you how this can be the solution that you need.

A Closer Look at Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting is characterized by the fracturing or "bursting" of a damaged pipe with a powerful pipe bursting head. As the damaged pipe is broken up, a new one is put into place in the same space at the same time. It's important to take advantage of pipe bursting technology since having fully functional sewer and drain lines prevents property damage and ensures optimal drainage and wastewater removal.

Main Benefits of Pipe Bursting

• It's still an alternative to traditional excavation
• The work is mostly limited to existing pipe space
• There's minimal cleanup once the work is done
• The process is less time-consuming than traditional dig-and-replace methods
• You'll still be getting a completely new pipe
• The newly inserted pipe can be larger in diameter if there's a need to increase flow and capacity

Issues Requiring Pipe Bursting

If tree or shrub roots have severely damaged an underground sewer or drain line, pipe bursting may be required or recommended. Other issues that may be resolved with this approach to pipe replacement include pipe collapse due to corrosion, added stress, age-related wear, or widespread fractures. Damage from ground-shifting and structural issues affecting multiple parts of a pipe can also be reasons why pipe bursting is recommended.
