Our Trenchless Pipe Bursting Process

At Drain Charmer Plumbing and Rooter, Inc., we make replacing damaged underground pipes simple and efficient with our trenchless pipe bursting process. This innovative method avoids the need for extensive digging, protecting your property and saving you time and money. Here’s how our step-by-step process works:

Step 1: Assessing the Existing Pipe
We begin by conducting a thorough video inspection of the damaged pipe. This allows us to identify the pipe’s location, length, and condition, ensuring trenchless pipe bursting is the right solution for your situation
Step 2: Creating Access Points
Small entry and exit points are dug at either end of the damaged pipe. These access points are used to guide the bursting head and the new pipe into place while minimizing disruption to your property
Step 3: Preparing the Bursting Equipment
A conical bursting head is attached to the new replacement pipe. This specialized tool breaks apart the old pipe as it is pulled through, simultaneously creating space for the new pipe to be installed.
Step 4: Breaking and Replacing the Pipe
Using a hydraulic pulling system, the bursting head travels through the old pipe, breaking it apart and displacing the fragments into the surrounding soil. The new pipe is pulled into place directly behind the bursting head, ensuring a seamless replacement.
Step 5: Connecting and Testing the System
Once the new pipe is installed, we connect it to your plumbing system and thoroughly test for leaks and proper functionality. This step ensures your system is fully restored and ready for use.

The Benefits of Trenchless Pipe Bursting

Replacing damaged underground pipes doesn’t have to mean tearing up your yard or driveway. Trenchless pipe bursting offers a modern, efficient, and less invasive solution to upgrade your plumbing. By breaking apart the old pipe and replacing it with a new one in a single step, this method saves time and protects your property. Here are six key benefits of choosing trenchless pipe bursting:

Minimally Invasive Process
Unlike traditional methods, trenchless pipe bursting requires only small access points at either end of the pipe. This minimizes disruption to your landscaping, driveway, and other areas, leaving your property intact.

Faster Project Completion
Traditional excavation can take weeks to finish, but trenchless pipe bursting is typically completed in just one or two days. This means less downtime and quicker results for your plumbing needs.

Durable and Long-Lasting Results
The new pipes installed during trenchless pipe bursting are made from high-quality, durable materials. These pipes are resistant to corrosion, root intrusion, and leaks, offering a lifespan of 50 years or more.

Cost-Effective Solution
While the initial cost may seem higher, trenchless pipe bursting saves money by eliminating the need for extensive restoration work. You won’t have to pay for repairs to your lawn, driveway, or other property features.

Environmentally Friendly Option
This method reduces the amount of soil disruption and waste associated with traditional excavation. By reusing the existing pipe pathway, trenchless pipe bursting is a more sustainable solution for pipe replacement.
Improved Plumbing PerformanceThe new pipes installed during the process often have a larger diameter and smoother interior, improving water flow and efficiency throughout your plumbing system.

Unusual Water Pressure Fluctuations
If you’re experiencing sudden changes in water pressure, it could indicate a malfunction in your backflow prevention device. Low or inconsistent pressure may signal clogs or damage that require immediate repair.
Discolored or Contaminated Water
If your water appears cloudy, rusty, or has an unusual odor, it could mean your backflow prevention system is failing. This is a serious issue that requires urgent attention to ensure your water supply remains safe.
Leaking Around the Device
Visible water leaks near your backflow prevention equipment are a clear sign of damage or wear. These leaks can compromise the device’s effectiveness and lead to water waste, so it’s important to call a professional plumber right away.
Unusual Noises from the Device
Hissing, whistling, or other strange noises coming from your backflow preventer may indicate internal damage or blockages. These issues can worsen over time, so it’s essential to have the device inspected by a professional.
Frequent Tripping or Malfunction
If your backflow prevention device repeatedly activates or malfunctions, it could be due to improper installation, wear and tear, or mechanical failure. A professional plumber can identify and fix the issue to restore proper function.
