The Sewer Kings Add Trenchless Pipe Bursting Sewer Line Replacement Across South Jersey

The Evesham company now replaces failed 2 to 6 inch sewer lines through two small access pits, sparing lawns, driveways, and patios from an open trench.

The Sewer Kings (https://thesewerkings.com/) has added trenchless sewer line replacement (https://thesewerkings.com/trenchless-sewer-line-replacement/) to its South Jersey service list, giving homeowners a way to replace a failed sewer line without an open trench cut across the yard.

The method is called pipe bursting. Crews dig one small pit where the line leaves the house and a second near the street connection, then pull a steel cable through the old pipe. A bursting head attached to the cable breaks the old clay, cast iron, or PVC pipe outward into the soil while drawing a new high-density polyethylene line into the same path behind it. The new pipe is fused into one continuous run with no joints for tree roots to enter. The equipment handles lines from 2 to 6 inches in diameter, which covers most residential laterals in the region and many small commercial lines, and many residential jobs wrap up in a day or two.

Every trenchless job starts with a camera inspection. The crew runs a sewer camera through the line to locate the break, collapse, or root intrusion and to measure the depth and length of the pipe. That survey decides whether pipe bursting is the right fit or whether conventional sewer line replacement (https://thesewerkings.com/sewer-line-replacement/) makes more sense. 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 go to the company’s excavation crews for open-cut work.

The timing reflects the housing stock the company works in. Much of Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties sits 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 those settings, the cost of tearing out and restoring the surface often exceeds the cost of the pipe itself, which is the gap pipe bursting is designed to close.

“For years the honest answer to a collapsed line under a driveway was that the driveway had to come out,” said Anthony Papaneri, co-owner of The Sewer Kings. “Now we can put a brand new line in through two holes the size of a doormat, and the camera tells us up front whether a property qualifies.”
