Trenchless Sewer Replacement with Pipe Bursting in LA County
When aging sewer lines crack, collapse, or clog beyond repair, pipe bursting offers a fast, clean, and permanent solution — without the mess of traditional excavation. At Leading Edge Plumbing & Rooter, we replace damaged pipes using trenchless technology designed to preserve your landscaping, driveway, and peace of mind.
What Is Pipe Bursting?
This service is a minimally invasive way to replace underground pipes. Instead of digging trenches, a bursting head breaks apart your old line while simultaneously pulling a new, high-strength pipe into place.
How the Process Works:
- Two small access points are created at the ends of the pipe
- A steel cable guides a bursting head through your existing sewer line
- The head shatters the pipe and installs the new HDPE pipe in one motion
- Connections are sealed, and the site is restored the same day

Frequently Asked Questions
Pipe bursting offers a trenchless way to replace underground sewer or water lines without the disruption of digging a full trench. Instead of removing the old pipe, this method fractures it and pushes the pieces into the surrounding soil. At the same time, a new, durable pipe is pulled into place. This approach works especially well when pipes are severely cracked, collapsed, or too damaged to repair.
Pipe bursting breaks apart the old pipe and pulls a new one into its place. In contrast, slip lining involves inserting a slightly smaller plastic pipe inside the existing one to seal leaks. CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) uses a resin-coated liner that hardens inside the damaged pipe to create a new internal surface.
While pipe bursting is a highly effective trenchless method, it does have some limitations. It requires small access points to be excavated, which may not be ideal in tight or obstructed spaces. The process permanently replaces the old pipe rather than preserving it, which may not be necessary for minor issues. It can also be more expensive upfront compared to traditional spot repairs, making it better suited for full-line replacements rather than small, isolated fixes.
