Pipe bursting needs only small entry and exit pits. A cone-shaped bursting head, winched or hammered through the old pipe, fractures it into the surrounding soil while towing new HDPE or similar pipe behind it.
It suits pipes too collapsed or deformed to reline, and can even upsize the pipe diameter. It is less practical where many junctions connect along the run, since each must be excavated and reconnected.
Replaces failed pipes along the same alignment with minimal excavation.

A CCTV drain inspection is the standard way to confirm whether this is what's happening in your pipes: the camera shows the condition on screen, a locator pinpoints the exact position and depth, and you get a recorded report before any repair decisions are made.
