Purposefully burst a pipe? Why in the world would you do that? Well, for those not familiar with different plumbing procedures, it's easy to see why you might take this view. As strange as it sounds, though, bursting pipes is actually a very effective method for repairing them. Basically, pipe bursting is a procedure of pipe repair, that doesn't involve digging trenches.

The resulting pipe fragments are forced into the ground, and a new pipe is then pulled in to replace the original one.
