  • Water pooling on the lawn
  • Greener grass over the sewer line than the surrounding lawn
  • Collapsed areas in the drain field
  • The presence of sewage odor
  • Toilets that are difficult to flush or won’t flush at all, and slow drains or drains that won’t drain at all.

  • Stops leaks and provides new sewer pipe that will last for decades.
  • Will provide efficient drainage of sewer lines.
  • Minimal digging required.

Trenchless pipe bursting provides an innovative solution that enables Benjamin Franklin Plumbing professionals to provide repairs of underground plumbing in Arlington, without excavating damaged pipes, preserving the lawn and landscaping.

Sewer pipe bursting’ replaces the damaged or aged plumbing in Arlington with a new sewer pipe. A cable is fed through the length of the sewer pipe and attached to the bursting head. Using a hydraulic winch, new pipe is pulled through the old pipe, with the bursting head breaking up the damaged pipe and pushing it into the surrounding soil and out of the way. This method provides new sewer pipe that is resistant to leaking, cracking and root invasion without destruction of the lawn or landscaping.

Pipe bursting provides several benefits vs. the former method of sewer pipe replacement requiring excavation.

These benefits include:

  • Saves on landscaping replacement costs

Sewer line damage occurs over time and the growth of tree roots in the search for water through cracked sewer lines is a common cause of damage. When tree roots enter a cracked sewer pipe they block the sewer line as they grow. Sewer line cleaning can sometimes power right through the roots, but when sewer lines fragile from age and past their prime, it only provides a temporary solution.

Other causes of sewer line damage and deterioration include corrosion, soil shifting, damage and age. Pipe bursting provides the most efficient solution for replacement in each case.
