Sewer pipe bursting is a process in which a broken pipe or sewer line is destroyed while a new one is simultaneously inserted in its place, all completed with minimal excavation. Pipe bursting is carried out by pulling a small expander head device through an old damaged or deteriorating pipe with a pulling machine. The head’s size is small enough to fit through the old pipe and fractures it as it passes through. The back of the expander head is connected to a new high-density polyethylene pipe, which it drags and leaves behind.
