Smarter Diagnostics, Cleaner Repairs

The right plumbing technology lets us find the real problem instead of guessing. That means fewer surprises, less digging, and repairs that last. Our technicians are trained to use these tools every day on homes and businesses across the Alle-Kiski Valley.

Sewer Camera Inspections

With a sewer camera inspection, we feed a high-resolution camera through your line to see exactly what’s happening inside—roots, cracks, bellies, offsets, or heavy buildup. We record footage, mark the depth and location, and use that information to plan targeted repairs instead of tearing up your whole yard, driveway, or landscaping.

Hydro Jetting (Deep Pipe Cleaning)

When drains are slow or blocked, hydro jetting clears grease, scale, and debris with controlled high-pressure water. Unlike basic snaking that just pokes a hole, jetting cleans the full pipe diameter for a longer-lasting result—ideal for kitchens, restaurants, commercial properties, and homes with repeat clogs.

Trenchless Pipe Lining & Brush Coating

For cracked or failing sewer lines, trenchless pipe lining installs a new, seamless pipe inside the old one—often without long trenches. When only a short section or fitting needs attention, we may recommend brush coating to resurface the interior and improve flow. Both methods reduce digging, protect finished areas, and deliver durable results.

Digital Job Management & Documentation

Our digital platform keeps photos, videos, and diagnostic reports in one place—from estimate to completion. Field and office teams stay in sync, so you receive clear communication, documented findings you can review, and a repair plan that makes sense before any work begins.

Plumbing Technology — FAQs

Q

What is trenchless plumbing technology?

Trenchless plumbing technology uses methods like pipe lining and
brush coating to repair or rehabilitate underground pipes with minimal digging.
Instead of excavating the whole yard, we access the line through small openings, restoring strength and flow with far less disruption.

Q

How does plumbing technology help me save money?

Modern plumbing technology in the Alle-Kiski Valley lets us pinpoint problems and choose the most efficient repair.
Camera inspections reduce guesswork, hydro jetting prevents repeat clogs, and trenchless options avoid costly landscape and concrete restoration after a dig.

Q

Do I still need to dig if you use sewer cameras and lining?

In many cases, no. Sewer cameras allow us to see inside the line, and trenchless lining solves issues without long trenches.
Some jobs still require targeted excavation—especially if the pipe has collapsed completely—but technology helps keep digging to a minimum.

Q

Where do you use this plumbing technology?

We use advanced plumbing technology on residential and commercial properties throughout the Alle-Kiski Valley and nearby communities.
