Pipe bursting replaces a damaged sewer line by pulling new pipe through the old one while a bursting head fractures the original pipe outward into the surrounding soil. It's the trenchless method of choice when a line is collapsed, badly offset, or damaged beyond what a liner can repair, since lining needs a mostly intact host pipe to bond to.
Established Beavercreek lots with decades-old clay laterals under mature trees are where we see the most collapsed or crushed sections, usually from long-term root pressure. Beavercreek Sewer Pros sets up small access pits at each end of the run rather than trenching the full pipe path, so the lawn and landscaping between those two points stay intact.
What's included
What's Included with Pipe Bursting
Typically included: access pit excavation at both ends, bursting head setup, new HDPE pipe pull-through, reconnection to existing fittings, and pit backfill.
Optional: upsizing pipe diameter during the burst if flow capacity needs improvement.
Customer prep: mark any sprinkler lines or shallow utilities near the pipe path, and keep the two pit areas accessible on the scheduled day.

How Our Pipe Bursting Process Works
Step 1Site Evaluation
The old pipe path and surrounding soil are assessed to plan the bursting approach.
Step 2Access Pit Digging
Small entry and exit pits are dug at each end of the pipe run.
Step 3Bursting Head Setup
A bursting head is attached to equipment that will fracture the old pipe.
Step 4New Pipe Pulling
New pipe is pulled through as the old pipe is simultaneously broken apart.
Step 5Alignment Check
The new pipe's alignment and slope are verified for proper drainage flow.
Step 6Pit Backfill
Access pits are backfilled and compacted to restore the surrounding ground.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Pipe Bursting
HDPE Replacement Pipe
Durable, jointless pipe material is pulled into place, resisting the root intrusion that caused the original failure.
Bursting Head Tools
Conical or static bursting heads fracture old clay or cast iron pipe material as new pipe follows behind.
Hydraulic Pulling Machines
Powerful machines generate the force needed to pull pipe through dense Ohio clay soils.
Pulling Rods
Rigid rods connect equipment to the bursting head for controlled, straight-line pipe replacement.
Fusion Welding Equipment
Equipment fuses HDPE pipe sections into smooth, leak-free joints with no weak points for roots to enter.
Soil Compaction Tools
Compaction tools restore ground stability around the two access pits after installation.

- The pipe is badly offset at a joint, beyond what a liner can bridge
- An older clay lateral under mature trees has failed structurally, not just cracked

Pipe Bursting FAQs
How much does pipe bursting cost compared to lining?
Pipe bursting generally costs more than CIPP lining because it requires two access pits and new pipe material rather than a liner inside the existing pipe. It's the right call when the old pipe is too damaged for lining to work.
Can pipe bursting fix a fully collapsed pipe?
That's the main case where bursting is preferred over lining. A collapsed section can't support a liner, but bursting fractures it outward and replaces it with new pipe in the same pass.
Does pipe bursting work on old clay pipe?
Clay pipe fractures predictably under the bursting head, which makes it one of the more straightforward pipe materials to burst through.
Can pipe bursting be done in winter in Ohio?
It can, though frozen ground near the surface can slow pit excavation. Deeper soil below the frost line is typically workable year-round.
How much yard disruption does pipe bursting cause?
Disruption is limited to the two access pits at each end of the run. The ground directly above the pipe path isn't trenched open.
Is pipe bursting a good fit for every sewer problem?
No. Minor cracks or root intrusion in an otherwise intact pipe are usually better addressed with CIPP lining, which costs less and requires only one access point.
