Trenchless Pipe Bursting in Rochester

Pipe bursting replaces the old sewer line by pulling a new pipe through the path of the old one. A bursting head breaks the old pipe outward while fused HDPE pipe follows behind. This usually needs only an entry pit and an exit pit instead of a long trench. It works well under driveways, mature trees and landscaping. The new pipe is seamless, which leaves no seams for roots to enter.

Sewer Line Inspection and Diagnostics in Rochester

Before any replacement, a thorough video inspection is crucial. We use high-resolution cameras to travel through your sewer lines, identifying the exact location and nature of the problem, whether it is cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections. This accuracy lets us recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective replacement plan. That way we address the root cause of your sewer issues in Rochester.

Cast Iron Sewer Replacement in Rochester

Cast iron drains in older homes corrode from the inside, especially along the bottom of the pipe. Over time this leaves cracks, holes and a rough surface that snags waste. Replacing the cast iron sewer outside the home is often the first step. We can also evaluate under-slab cast iron and discuss lining or rerouting options. New PVC or HDPE will not rust or scale the same way.

Sewer Line Replacement Cost in Rochester, NY

Cost depends on length, depth, soil type, access and the method used. Open-trench replacement in an open yard can be reasonably priced per foot, while trenchless methods may cost more per foot but save on restoration. Hardscape, landscaping and driveways change the math fast. We give you a written estimate for each option after a camera inspection. That way you can compare total cost, not just the headline price.

Open-Trench Sewer Replacement in Rochester, NY

Traditional excavation is sometimes the best option, especially when the old line has a severe belly or the slope must be corrected. We dig along the line, remove the old pipe and set new PVC on compacted bedding at the proper grade. Rocky or hard-packed soil can slow digging, and we account for that in the estimate. Each joint is glued and checked before backfill. The inspector sees the open trench before we close it up.
