Full sewer replacement for your Portsmouth property through two small pits instead of a trench.
Pipe Bursting in Portsmouth — booked, scoped and carried out by trenchless specialists rather than a general plumber with a rented machine. We cover the whole of Scioto County, around the clock.
Pipe Bursting in Portsmouth — what matters locally
In a city with 1946-era housing, bursting is the answer for the lines too far gone to line — collapsed clay, missing sections, and above all Orangeburg that has lost its round shape.
Bursting does not need a sound host pipe, because it destroys the host pipe on the way through. A conical head fractures the old line outward while drawing fused HDPE in behind it, leaving a jointless pipe with nothing for Portsmouth's mature tree roots to enter.
When Portsmouth properties need pipe bursting
- A collapsed line, or a section of pipe simply missing
- A belly holding standing water that lining would lock in place
- An undersized lateral needing a diameter increase
- Severe deterioration along the whole run rather than at one point
- Any line a camera inspection shows cannot carry a liner
How the work is carried out
The method itself does not change from city to city, so we have written it up once in full rather than repeating it here:

What it costs in Portsmouth
We know a five-figure sewer repair is a significant expense. That is exactly why we start with a camera inspection and tell you the truth about scope — a single cracked joint needs a spot repair at a fraction of full-line cost, and plenty of backups turn out to need nothing more than a thorough cleaning.

We work throughout Portsmouth and the surrounding area, including the neighbourhoods around Mound Park, Portsmouth Little Theater and Stan Spence Sports Park. Whether your property sits on an established street with mature trees overhanging the lateral or in a newer development, the first step is the same: scope the line and find out what is actually there.

Answers
Pipe Bursting in Portsmouth — FAQs
How much does pipe bursting cost in Portsmouth?
Most Portsmouth jobs land between $5,000 and $25,000. We quote after inspecting and locating, because depth and nearby utilities change the figure substantially.
Will it damage my yard?
You get two small pits, usually one at the house connection and one near the main. The ground between them is never disturbed — that is what separates bursting from conventional replacement, which would trench the entire run.
Can you upsize my line?
We can. Going up a pipe size is standard practice with bursting, and worth considering if the original line was undersized for how the property is used now.
