Pipe Bursting in Columbia, TN
A bursting head fractures the old pipe outward while pulling new HDPE pipe into place.
Pipe bursting pulls a cone-shaped bursting head through the existing line. The head fractures the old pipe outward into the surrounding soil while towing a new HDPE pipe in behind it. It needs an entry and exit pit but no continuous trench.
Because it replaces rather than lines, bursting handles collapsed pipe that lining cannot, and it can upsize a line, for example from four inches to six.
Typical cost: $100 - $300 per foot installed
When pipe bursting is the right call
- Collapsed or severely deformed pipe that will not accept a liner
- Orangeburg or deteriorated clay that needs full replacement
- A line you want to upsize while replacing

Common questions
Can pipe bursting damage nearby utilities?
It can if they are not located first. The old pipe fractures outward, so gas, water, and electrical lines in the same corridor must be located and marked before work begins. Tennessee 811 locates are required.
