Is the camera footage showing a collapsed section or a badly offset joint that lining can't bridge? Pipe bursting sewer repair is the trenchless method for lines too far gone for CIPP, a bursting head fractures the old pipe outward while new HDPE pipe gets pulled through the same path.
Oxford Sewer Pros uses this on Oxford properties where the original clay lateral has deteriorated past the point lining can fix, which shows up more often on older lots near campus than on newer construction.
What's included
What's included
Typically included: access pit digging at both ends, bursting head setup, HDPE pipe pulled through the full run, and reconnection at both ends with a final flow check.
Optional: slope adjustment if the new path improves drainage, and backfill with engineered material where soil conditions call for it.
Customer prep: mark any sprinkler lines or buried utilities you know about near the access pit locations, and clear vehicles from the work area.

How our Pipe Bursting process works
Step 1Site Evaluation
Soil and the old pipe path are assessed to plan where access pits go.
Step 2Access Pit Digging
Small entry and exit pits are dug at each end of the run.
Step 3Bursting Head Setup
The bursting head is attached to equipment that will fracture the old pipe.
Step 4New Pipe Pulling
New pipe is pulled through as the old pipe is broken apart ahead of it.
Step 5Alignment Check
Slope and alignment are verified so drainage flows correctly.
Step 6Pit Backfill
Access pits are backfilled and compacted to restore the ground.
Materials
Materials and methods for Pipe Bursting
HDPE Replacement Pipe
Jointless HDPE pipe resists the root intrusion that took out the original clay line and handles Ohio's seasonal ground shift without cracking.
Bursting Head Tools
A conical or static bursting head matched to the old pipe's diameter fractures it cleanly as new pipe follows.
Hydraulic Pulling Machines
These generate the steady pulling force needed to draw new pipe through older, compacted Butler County clay soil.
Pulling Rods
Rigid rods connect the machine to the bursting head so the pull stays on a controlled, straight path.
Fusion Welding Equipment
Fused HDPE joints create a smooth line with none of the joint gaps that let roots in originally.
Soil Compaction Tools
Compaction restores stable ground at each access pit so the surface settles evenly afterward.

Pipe Bursting FAQs
What's the difference between pipe bursting and CIPP lining, and which one do I need?
CIPP lines the inside of a pipe that's still structurally sound. Pipe bursting replaces the pipe entirely when it's collapsed or too damaged for a liner to bridge. The camera inspection tells us which one your line actually needs.
Does pipe bursting disturb the yard like a full dig-up would?
Only the two access pits get dug. The rest of the pipe path stays undisturbed above ground.
How long does a pipe bursting repair last?
New HDPE pipe is rated for decades of service under normal residential use, comparable to a brand-new line.
How much does pipe bursting cost in Oxford?
Cost depends on line length, pipe diameter, and depth. We'll give you a real number after the camera inspection, not a guess.
Is a permit needed for pipe bursting?
Full lateral replacement often requires a permit, especially where the new line ties into the municipal connection. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.
