Pipe Bursting Sewer Replacement in Pasadena, CA

Service: Pipe Bursting | Location: Pasadena, CA | Result: Completed same day

The Problem

A Pasadena homeowner contacted 24/7 Rooter Service after a camera inspection by another plumber showed a completely collapsed section of clay sewer line at approximately 35 feet from the cleanout. The homeowner needed the line replaced but wanted to avoid excavating their mature rose garden.

What We Found

We ran our own camera to confirm the findings. The collapse was at a 90-degree elbow where the clay had completely separated and partially collapsed inward. The remaining pipe was too deteriorated for CIPP lining — pipe bursting was the correct solution.

What We Did

We excavated two small access pits — one at the cleanout and one at the city connection. We pulled a new 4-inch HDPE pipe through the old clay line using a hydraulic bursting head, fracturing the old pipe outward. We connected the new pipe at both access points and camera inspected to confirm proper installation.

Result

Full sewer line replaced in one day. Rose garden completely preserved. New HDPE pipe rated for 50+ year service life with no joints for root entry. City permit and inspection completed.
