Sewer Line Replacement in Charlotte, NC.

Traditional replacement requires excavating a trench the full length of the pipe, through lawns, driveways, landscaping, and sometimes under structures. Trenchless pipe bursting replaces the pipe using only small access pits at each end: a bursting head fractures the old pipe outward while simultaneously pulling new HDPE pipe in behind it. The result is a brand-new pipe without the excavation cost or restoration expense.

Most residential trenchless pipe bursting jobs complete in a single day. Traditional open-cut replacement takes longer depending on the pipe depth, length, and what is above it. We will tell you exactly what to expect before we schedule, and we do not start a job we cannot finish on time.

HDPE pipe installed by pipe bursting carries a 50+ year lifespan in normal conditions. It is corrosion-resistant, root-resistant at the joints, and far more flexible than clay or cast iron, meaning it handles ground movement without cracking. Properly installed, your new line should outlast the structure above it.

Cost depends on pipe length, depth, access conditions, the replacement method, and whether there are structures above the line. We quote a flat written number before any work begins: no hourly billing, no change-orders.
