Pipe Bursting Services in Vernon, California

Hi there! If you are looking for a reliable way to replace underground pipes without tearing up your entire property, you have come to the right place. We are Directional Boring California, and we specialize in trenchless technology. One of our most popular and effective services is what we call Pipe Bursting v1.

We know that dealing with damaged sewer or water lines is stressful. Nobody wants to see their parking lot, driveway, or beautiful landscape dug up by excavators. That is where we come in. As a development and engineering company licensed as a General A Engineering Contractor and General B Contractor in California, we handle the heavy lifting with precision and care.

What is Pipe Bursting?

Let’s keep it simple. Traditional pipe replacement usually means digging a long, deep trench to pull out the old pipe and put in a new one. It’s messy, loud, and takes a long time.

Pipe Bursting v1 is different. It is a "trenchless" method.

Here is how it works:
1. We dig two small access pits—one where the pipe starts and one where it ends.
2. We feed a heavy-duty cable through your old, damaged pipe.
3. A bursting head (a strong, cone-shaped tool) is pulled through the old pipe.
4. As the bursting head moves, it breaks the old pipe apart and pushes the pieces into the surrounding soil.
5. At the same time, it pulls a brand-new, seamless HDPE pipe right in behind it.

Just like that, you have a new pipe in the exact same spot as the old one, but with barely any digging. It is a smart, clean solution.

Why Choose Pipe Bursting in Vernon?

Vernon is a unique place. It is the industrial heart of Los Angeles County. We know that businesses here can’t afford downtime. You have trucks moving, warehouses operating, and schedules to keep.

If you shut down a loading dock to dig a trench, you lose money. Pipe bursting allows us to replace your infrastructure while keeping your operations running smoothly. Whether you are managing an industrial plant in Vernon or a residential property in the greater Los Angeles area, this method saves time and hassle.

Here are a few reasons our clients love this approach:
Less disruption: We don't turn your property into a construction zone.
Higher capacity: We can often replace an old pipe with a new one of the same size or even slightly larger.
* Longevity: The new pipes we install are fused together. This means no joints, no leaks, and no tree roots getting in. They can last for decades.

What Does It Cost?

This is the most common question we get. "How much is this going to cost me?"

Since every job site is different, we can't give a flat price without seeing the project. However, we can tell you what factors influence the cost so you know what to expect.

Factors that affect pricing include:
Depth of the pipe: Deeper pipes require more specialized setup.
Length of the run: Longer pulls might require different equipment.
Soil conditions: Rocky soil is different to work with than soft clay.
Access: How easy is it for us to get our equipment to the access points?

Even with these variables, pipe bursting is often more cost-effective than open-trench digging because you save money on restoration. You won't have to pay to repave a whole parking lot or replant an entire garden when we are done.
