The Sewer Kings Introduces Trenchless Pipe Bursting for South Jersey Lines

The Evesham company, The Sewer Kings, has expanded its service offerings in South Jersey by adding trenchless pipe bursting sewer line replacement. This new method allows homeowners to replace failed sewer lines without the need for an open trench cut across their lawns, driveways, and patios, sparing them from damage and disruption. The company, which can be found at thesewerkings.com, has introduced this innovative solution to address the growing number of residential and small commercial sewer lines that run beneath driveways, patios, mature trees, and finished basement floors.

The Sewer Kings' latest service, trenchless sewer line replacement, is a method called pipe bursting. The process involves digging one small pit where the line leaves the house and a second near the street connection. Crews then pull a steel cable through the old pipe, which is broken outward into the soil by a bursting head attached to the cable. The new high-density polyethylene line is drawn into the same path behind the cable, fusing into one continuous run with no joints for tree roots to enter. This method is ideal for lines ranging from 2 to 6 inches in diameter, which covers most residential laterals in the region and many small commercial lines.

The process begins with a camera inspection to locate the break, collapse, or root intrusion and to measure the depth and length of the pipe. This survey determines whether pipe bursting is the right fit or if conventional sewer line replacement is more appropriate. Lines that have fully collapsed and filled with soil, very shallow lines, lines with a sag, and lines that run right beside a gas or water service still require open-cut work by the company's excavation crews.

The timing of the trenchless job reflects the housing stock the company works in. Much of Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties is built on clay and cast iron laterals installed decades ago, and a growing share of those lines runs under driveways, patios, mature trees, and finished basement floors. In these settings, the cost of tearing out and restoring the surface often exceeds the cost of the pipe itself, which is the gap that pipe bursting is designed to close.

The Sewer Kings is now available for homeowners and business owners across South Jersey to review how the trenchless process works, compare it with open-cut replacement, and request a free estimate at thesewerkings.com. The company is available around the clock for sewer emergencies.
