What Covina Homeowners Say

Real feedback from pipe bursting jobs around Covina.

★★★★★

Collapsed pipe, no trench

Our clay line had collapsed in two places. They burst a whole new pipe through with just two pits. I kept expecting a big trench that never came.

New pipe, old yard intact

The new line runs under our patio and lawn. Bursting replaced all of it and you cannot tell any work happened. Drains have never been better.

★★★★☆

Powerful process, well managed

The equipment is serious but the crew kept everything controlled and clean. Took a bit longer than estimated, but the result is a brand-new line.

★★★★★

Better than digging

We got quotes for open trenching that would have destroyed our landscaping. Bursting cost us our yard nothing. Very glad we found this option.

★★★★★

Explained lining vs bursting

They showed me why lining would not work for our collapsed section and why bursting would. Clear, honest guidance with camera proof.

Smooth from pits to finish

Two pits dug, new pipe pulled, pits filled, done. The crew restored the digging spots so well you have to look hard to find them.

How it works

Replace the Pipe Without the Trench

Pipe bursting is a trenchless replacement method. A powerful winch pulls a bursting head through your old line. The head fractures the old pipe outward while dragging a brand-new pipe in right behind it. The new line follows the exact path of the old one.

Only small access pits are dug, usually one at each end of the run. That is the whole excavation. Compare that to an open trench across your entire yard, and the appeal is obvious, especially under driveways, patios, and mature landscaping.

Bursting shines where lining cannot go: collapsed sections, severely deformed pipe, and lines that need a larger diameter. If your camera inspection shows the pipe is beyond lining, bursting is often the next best thing to digging.

  • ✓ New pipe replaces the old one entirely
  • ✓ Breaks apart collapsed and deformed pipe
  • ✓ Only small access pits, no full trench
  • ✓ Follows the existing pipe path
Why it matters

Why Choose Pipe Bursting

For lines too far gone for lining but worth saving the yard for.

01

Replaces, not patches

You get an entirely new pipe, not a liner inside a failing one.

02

Beats open trenching

Small pits instead of a yard-long trench protect landscaping and hardscaping.

03

Handles the worst damage

Collapsed and badly deformed sections that lining cannot fix are no obstacle.

Warning signs

Signs Bursting May Be Your Answer

When the pipe is beyond lining but the yard is worth saving.

Collapsed sections

Camera shows the pipe caved in. Lining needs a standing pipe; bursting does not.

Severely deformed pipe

Oval or crushed sections that no liner could follow.

Lining was ruled out

The inspection showed damage beyond what CIPP can handle.

You want a new pipe

Some homeowners prefer full replacement over a liner for peace of mind.

Long runs under improvements

Pipe under driveways, pools, or additions makes open trenching very costly.

Undersized old line

Bursting can upsize the pipe, improving capacity for the household.

How it works

How Pipe Bursting Works

Powerful equipment, small footprint.

01

Inspect and plan

Camera maps the run and we confirm bursting is the right method.

02

Dig access pits

Small pits at each end of the section to be replaced.

03

Pull the new pipe

The bursting head fractures the old pipe while the new one follows.

04

Connect and test

The new line is joined to your system and flow-tested.

Common questions

Pipe Bursting FAQs

Answers about trenchless pipe bursting in Covina.

+ Will bursting damage nearby utilities?

The process is planned around known utility locations. The bursting head follows the existing pipe path, and we locate nearby lines before work starts to keep everything safe.

+ How is bursting different from lining?

Lining creates a new pipe inside the old one and needs the old pipe to hold its shape. Bursting destroys the old pipe while installing a completely new one, so it works on collapsed and deformed lines too.

+ What kind of new pipe is installed?

Typically seamless HDPE pipe, which is flexible, jointless, and highly resistant to roots and corrosion. It is pulled in as one continuous piece.

+ Can bursting upsize my sewer line?

Yes, within limits. The bursting head can expand the bore slightly, allowing a larger diameter pipe than the original. This is useful for homes whose needs outgrew the old line.

+ How much of my yard gets dug up?

Just the access pits, usually one at each end. Everything between them is replaced underground without disturbing the surface.
