Fanti Sewers and Drains
Pipe Bursting · Orange County & South Bay

The old pipe is done. We'll replace it without trenching the yard.

Pipe bursting pulls a new seamless HDPE line through the path of the old one, breaking the failed pipe outward as it goes. Two small access pits instead of a trench from the house to the street.

What's going on

Why laterals here reach replacement

  1. 01Original clay from the 50s and 60sShort jointed sections that shift, crack and eventually come apart under decades of ground movement.
  2. 02Cast iron rusted throughCorrosion works from the inside out. Once the bottom of the pipe is gone, there's no wall to build on.
  3. 03Bad original grade or settlingA section that dropped will always hold water. Only a new line at proper fall fixes that.
Honest options

We diagnose first, then you choose

Trenchless bursting keeps your driveway, lawn and patio largely intact and finishes faster. Open trench still makes sense in a few situations — very shallow lines, tight utility conflicts, or when the route itself has to change.

Trenchless pipe bursting

Best for most Cerritos-area laterals: two access pits, new seamless HDPE, surfaces preserved.

Open-trench replacement

Best when utilities crowd the path, the line is very shallow, or the route needs to be rerouted.

How a visit goes

From footage to a new line on the same path

  1. 01

    Camera, locate, permit

    We confirm the route and depth, quote it in writing, and pull the permit your city requires.

  2. 02

    Open two small pits

    One at the house end, one near the connection. Everything between them stays as it is.

  3. 03

    Pull the new line

    The bursting head breaks the old pipe outward while the new HDPE line follows behind it in one continuous piece.

  4. 04

    Tie in, camera, restore

    Connections made, city inspection met, footage handed over, pits backfilled and compacted.

What it costs

You'll see the number before we start

Replacement is quoted in writing after the camera run and locate. Nothing gets added later. What drives it:

  • Length of the run and depth of the line.
  • What sits at each access point — lawn versus concrete or hardscape.
  • Diameter, including whether you're upsizing.
  • Permit, inspection and any required city connection work.
They replaced our sewer line without tearing up the driveway. Clear pricing, city inspection handled, and they cleaned up completely.

FAQ

Questions we get on the phone

Lining rebuilds the inside of your existing pipe, so the old pipe has to still be there. Bursting removes the old pipe's shape entirely and installs a brand new line, which is what a collapsed or badly settled lateral needs.
