Trenchless Pipe Pulling
For Columbus Plumbers.

The PF-12 trenchless pipe pulling system lets Columbus plumbing contractors replace water service lines from two small access points, with no continuous trench and no restoration bill. Built in Tennessee by working plumbers. $12,995 + freight.

★ The Market

Why Columbus needs a better way to replace water lines

50% of the homes in Columbus were built before 1980, and the median home was built in 1980 (U.S. Census, ACS 2024). Service lines that age are reaching the end of their life, and every one that fails is a replacement job.

Traditionally, each of those jobs means trenching from the meter to the house and paying for lawn, driveway, and irrigation restoration. The PF-12 lets Columbus contractors pull the new line through the old path instead.

★ The Ground

What you dig through in Columbus

Columbus sits where the Chattahoochee crosses the Fall Line: sandy Coastal Plain soils to the south, clay over crystalline Piedmont rock to the north.

Expansive clay is slow to trench and hard to restore cleanly, and a long backfilled trench can settle for months. Pulling the new line through the existing path leaves the yard largely undisturbed.

Slab foundations are the norm in the South Atlantic region: 85.7% of new single-family homes built in 2024 sat on a slab (NAHB, Census data). The PF-12's under-slab capability pulls new PEX-A beneath the slab from two small access points, without breaking up the floor.
