Trenchless Sewer Replacement in Hanford

Trenchless Sewer Replacement in Hanford, CA

Replacing an old, cracked sewer line through traditional open-trench digging often means destroying concrete driveways, front porches, mature trees, and expensive landscaping. Trenchless sewer pipe bursting offers a modern, non-invasive alternative that replaces your entire sewer lateral without digging a continuous trench across your property. Using heavy hydraulic pulling equipment, we pull a hardened steel bursting head through your failing clay or cast iron pipe, fracturing the old line outward into the surrounding soil while simultaneously pulling a seamless, leak-proof High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe into its place.

Trenchless Technology

Specialized Field Protocol

No-Dig Hydraulic Pipe Bursting

• Compact entry and exit pits preserving driveways, patios, and mature trees
• Heavy-duty steel expanding head breaking apart old clay or cast iron pipe
• Pulling new seamless, root-proof high-density polyethylene (HDPE) lateral

How We Complete Your Service

1. Pre-Burst Camera Diagnostic & Pit Planning: We inspect the sewer lateral with a CCTV camera to confirm proper grade slope and excavate a small launch pit near the house and a receiver pit near the street.
2. Steel Pulling Cable Installation: A high-tensile steel cable is threaded through the existing failing sewer pipe from the launch pit to the hydraulic pulling unit positioned at the receiver pit.
3. Hydraulic Pipe Bursting Operation: The hydraulic puller draws the conical bursting head and heat-fused HDPE pipe through the existing line, shattering old clay and pulling the new pipe in one smooth pass.
4. Cleanout Connection & Video Inspection: We install two-way exterior cleanouts to City of Hanford code, run a final camera inspection to verify flawless grade, and backfill the small access pits.
