Pipe Bursting done right.
When a pipe is too damaged to line, such as a collapsed or badly bellied section, bursting can replace it without a full trench. A bursting head fractures the old pipe outward while pulling a new pipe behind it.
The new pipe is typically seamless HDPE. It follows the old path, so we need access pits at each end, not a trench along the entire run.

Is bursting better than lining?
It depends. Lining is great for sound-shaped pipe. Bursting is the better choice for collapsed or deformed pipe.
Can bursting damage nearby utilities?
Utilities are located and protected. The method needs clearance, which we check first.
Will it work under a driveway?
Usually yes, from pits at each end.
