OV DRAIN SERVICE & PLUMBING
Pipe Bursting in Milton & the GTA
When a sewer line needs replacing, pipe bursting may reduce the need to open a continuous trench. OV Drain Service & Plumbing assesses the existing line and access before recommending a replacement method.
Trenchless sewer line replacement
Pipe bursting draws a replacement pipe through the route of an existing line while breaking the old pipe outward. It can be useful where a damaged sewer runs below a yard, driveway or other finished surface.
Access pits and connection work are still required. The route, pipe condition, nearby utilities and available working space determine whether the method is suitable.
Planning the replacement
- Review the drain problem and available camera inspection findings.
- Assess the existing route, connections and access locations.
- Compare pipe bursting with excavation where site conditions require it.
- Discuss the replacement, reconnection work and surface restoration in the scope.
What happens before work starts?
We discuss the line to be replaced, the excavation access and the areas that may be disturbed. Utility locations and applicable project requirements need to be addressed before excavation. The proposed work and restoration should be clear before you proceed.
Questions about pipe bursting
Will you need to dig?
Yes. The equipment needs access and the new pipe must be connected. The size and location of the excavations depend on your property and drain layout.
Can every damaged sewer be replaced this way?
Suitability depends on the line and surrounding conditions. We assess the route and access before recommending pipe bursting or another repair method.
How is the price determined?
Line length and depth, access, connections and restoration all affect the scope. Contact us to arrange an assessment for your property.
What if I only have a blocked drain?
Start by discussing the symptoms. Drain cleaning and a camera inspection may help establish what work is needed.
