John Gribble, one of the owners of Pronto Plumbing and Drain, recently offered some high praise for the RODDIE Underground R-8 pipe bursting machine. The company currently owns four of the machines and has the capabilities to replace water and sewer from 1-inch to 8-inch pipe.

“The R-8 has allowed us to scale our company to the next level,” Gribble says. “The lightweight machine makes it easy to set up inside our customer’s home, allowing for the best pull. There is no more setting the machine into a deep hole with an excavator, making the R-8 the fastest pipe bursting machine we have ever used.”

Pronto Plumbing and Drain has performed pulls up to 600 feet in length and up to 8 inches in diameter. The company keeps the R-8 units in the lead installers’ service vans so it’s always ready when an emergency happens.

“When it comes to production, RODDIE Underground leads the way in trenchless technology,” Gribble says. “We took on a 240,000 under-slab job in a retirement home last month that we finished in a little over a week by using multiple R-8 pipe bursting machines to help us minimize the amount of concrete needed to be removed. That made the job very profitable and productive. We intend on having six of them by the end of the year. When it comes to running a business, I would choose the 30-ton RODDIE Underground R-8 pipe bursting machine. Your employees will love you.”
