Both methods avoid trenches, but they solve different problems. Lining renews the pipe you have. Bursting replaces it with a new one.
Lining in a sentence
A resin-soaked liner is cured inside the old pipe, sealing cracks and joints and leaving a smooth new pipe inside the old one.
Bursting in a sentence
A cone-shaped head breaks the old pipe outward while pulling new HDPE pipe through the same path.
Choose lining when
The pipe is leaking or rooted but still holds its shape and grade, and you want the smallest possible access points.
Choose bursting when
The pipe is collapsed, badly offset, Orangeburg, or you want a larger diameter or brand-new pipe material.
How we decide
We look at the camera video, measure the line and talk through what is above it. Many properties use both methods in different sections.
