Trenchless Pipe Pulling
For Savannah Plumbers.

The PF-12 trenchless pipe pulling system lets Savannah 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 Savannah needs a better way to replace water lines

59% of the homes in Savannah were built before 1980, and the median home was built in 1971 (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.

Savannah submitted its service line inventory in October 2024 and publishes it as an address-level map under its Lead Free Savannah initiative.

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 Savannah contractors pull the new line through the old path instead.

★ The Ground

What you dig through in Savannah

Savannah has poor sandy soils over a high water table, with pockets of heavy blue clay.

Where groundwater sits close to the surface, a long open trench can cave and may need shoring or dewatering. Trenchless pipe pulling keeps the open excavation to two small pits.

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.
