Plumbing Work Built Around the Homes and Communities We Know.
John Shelton Plumbing has grown alongside the Alle-Kiski Valley for more than four decades. That history matters because local plumbing is rarely one-size-fits-all.
Older cast iron, clay sewer laterals, changing grades, hillside properties, remodeled plumbing systems, winter freezes, and generations of additions all affect how a problem should be approached. Our job is to understand what is actually happening before recommending what comes next.
That can mean a simple fixture repair. It can also mean camera inspection, hydro jetting, trenchless rehabilitation, water-service work, gas piping, or carefully planned excavation. The scope changes. The standard does not.
Understand the concern, the property, and what has already been tried.
Use the right tools to find the actual condition instead of guessing.
Choose a repair path that makes sense for both today and the long term.

Explore ServiceAdvanced Sewer Technology Without Losing the Human Side of the Work.
The best equipment is valuable because of what it helps us learn and accomplish—not because it looks impressive on a truck.
Sewer cameras help us see inside a line. Electronic locating helps map where it travels. Hydro jetting prepares and cleans pipe interiors. Trenchless equipment allows qualifying systems to be restored with substantially less excavation.
Shelton combines those tools with decades of field experience so technology supports a better diagnosis, a clearer recommendation, and a more controlled repair.
See the Problem. Understand the Options. Build the Right Repair.
Start With the Concern
We listen to what you are seeing, hearing, smelling, or experiencing and review the history of the problem.
Inspect the System
The right diagnostic tools help identify where the problem is, what condition exists, and how much of the system is affected.
Review the Options
We explain practical repair paths, including where conventional, trenchless, cleaning, or replacement methods make sense.
Complete & Verify
Work is completed carefully, tested, cleaned up, and reviewed so you know what was done and what to expect going forward.

A Local Plumbing Company That Still Feels Local.
Growth has expanded what Shelton can do. It has not changed what the company is built around.
The trucks, cameras, lining equipment, excavation tools, and technology matter. But the people using them matter more. Customers are inviting our team into their homes, businesses, yards, and properties—often because something has already gone wrong.
That responsibility is why communication, preparation, clean work, and respect for the property remain part of the job from the first conversation through final cleanup.
