Galaxy Plumbing Inc. delivers a complete trenchless drain replacement service from diagnostic inspection through to final commissioning:
A CCTV camera documents the pipe condition, maps the exact run, measures diameter and depth, and confirms whether pipe bursting or directional pull is the correct technique.
Small entry and exit pits are excavated at each end of the replacement section. These are typically 1 to 2 metres square, far smaller than a full-length trench.
A bursting head or pulling head is threaded through or to the existing pipe. As it advances, it fractures the old pipe outward into the surrounding soil while simultaneously drawing new HDPE pipe into the void.
The new pipe is connected to the existing drain system at each end, with proper joint sealing and transition fittings installed to code.
A final camera run confirms correct pipe alignment, full joint integrity, and unobstructed flow through the new pipe.
Access pits are backfilled and compacted. Surface restoration is completed to match the surrounding area.
Both trenchless drain replacement and pipe relining avoid full-length excavation, but they address different levels of pipe failure. The comparison below clarifies when each method applies.
Not sure which method is right for your pipe? A drain camera inspection from Galaxy Plumbing Inc. provides the documented diagnosis to make that determination accurately.
