I had drain problems with my sink; they came out to fix it – but the problem persisted. I called them and they came out again to check. However, instead of trying again and doing a better job they said they would charge me the full amount again if they were to repeat the procedure. Really?!
Response from the owner:We are sorry to hear about your experience. Our goal is always to resolve the issue properly and provide clear communication about the work involved. In some cases, drain problems can have underlying causes that require further inspection or a different solution than the initial service, but we understand how frustrating this situation must have felt. Please contact us directly so we can review what happened and work toward a fair resolution. We value your feedback and the opportunity to make things right.

He arrived right on time, did the repairs quickly, and charged a very reasonable fee for the work. You’ll find that he is very personable, polite, considerate of his customers’ needs, and very happy to answer any questions. For any future plumbing repairs, Dr. Pipe is definitely the only company that I’ll ever call.

I received this name from a friend who was very happy with their job. I contacted them mid- morning Friday for a toilet that kept running. They told me they would be here between 1-4.Elvis arrived – punctual, professional, respectful and such a lovely person. He explained all about my toilet, as they are all different, and told me what had to be done. Of course I went ahead. He worked quickly, cleanly and at reasonable price. He checked the replaced part twice to make sure it was operating properly. Make sure you make note of this company and phone number. You will be very glad you did.

Thank you Elvis for a great job. You guys are terrific.

At one time, pipe repair was difficult, time-consuming, and costly. 

That’s why Dr. Pipe is glad to announce that we can use trenchless replacement methods. The trenchless method, also called pipe bursting, is an efficient solution for all kinds of pipe repair. Now let’s delve into the meaning of pipe bursting technology.

What is Burst Pipe Technology?

Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of excavating old, damaged pipes. Rather than having to dig up your property to remove and replace old pipes, a large, cone-shaped head called a bursting head is hydraulically pulled through the damaged pipes underground. This breaks apart the old pipe while simultaneously replacing it with a new pipe made of something called high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This new pipe will be the same size or larger than the old pipe and seamlessly replace it from the inside.

The Pipe Bursting Process 

  1. We start by digging a hole to both ends of the pipe to be replaced.
  2. We inspect your pipe with a high-resolution camera to ensure we know just what needs to be done.
  3. A steel cable is fed into one end of the pipe that will guide the bursting head from one end to the other.
  4. The bursting head is pulled through the pipe along the steel cable. The HDPE pipe piggybacks behind the bursting head.
  5. As the bursting head breaks the old pipe out of the way, the new HDPE pipe replaces it while the bits of old pipe are forced into the adjacent soil.
  6. The new HDPE pipe is perfectly lined up with the sewer system, replacing the old pipe.

Pipe Bursting Benefits

  • Avoids the mess, time and expense of excavation,
  • No disruption to traffic or property,
  • Lower risk of failure since it’s following existing utility layout,
  • Your new pipe will likely be larger and offer increased flow,
  • HDPE is more resistant to corrosion.

Why Is It a Cost-Effective Trenchless Pipe Replacement Service?

Under ideal conditions, pipe-bursting can be an effective, reliable method of trenchless pipe replacement. Your new pipe could be up to 150% larger in diameter than the previous pipe, depending on soil conditions.

Though pipe-bursting isn’t the right choice in every situation, such as in dense urban areas where the risk of a surface cave-in is greater, it is often the most cost-effective choice thanks to the speed, reliability and less-intrusive nature of the work involved.
