Announcing Trenchless Pipelining Services at John Shelton Plumbing
The need for safe, reliable sewer repair has grown quickly in recent years. Many municipalities now require homeowners to fix leaky sewer lines before selling a property. Because traditional dig-and-replace sewer repair is disruptive and expensive, we chose to offer a cleaner and more affordable option: trenchless pipelining.
At John Shelton Plumbing, we help homeowners in Fox Chapel, Aspinwall, Harmarville, Springdale, and Vandergrift, and surrounding Alle-Kiski Valley areas choose sewer repair options that protect their homes, budgets, and yards.
Why Traditional Sewer Repair Creates Big Problems
When a sewer line needs repaired, digging it up often causes major issues. For example, excavation can:
- Tear up landscaping and mature yard features
- Break sidewalks, driveways, and patios
- Expose buried utilities to damage
- Take several days to complete
- Create expensive restoration work afterward
Because of this, many homeowners look for a less stressful repair method. Trenchless pipelining offers exactly that, and it often cuts project time in half.
How Trenchless Pipelining Works
Instead of digging up the entire pipe, trenchless pipelining restores it from the inside. This approach is simple, effective, and designed to protect your property. Here’s how it works:
- We inspect the existing sewer line with a high-definition camera
- We clean the pipe using powerful jetting equipment
- A resin-soaked liner is inserted into the pipe
- The liner is steam-cured to form a smooth, durable new pipe
- We complete a final inspection to confirm a proper seal
After installation, the liner becomes a strong, seamless pipe that resists cracks, corrosion, and tree roots — all without major excavation.
