Sewer Services in the Alle-Kiski Valley

When your sewer line backs up, clogs, or leaks, it can disrupt everything—from daily routines to business operations. At John Shelton Plumbing, we provide full-service sewer repair and maintenance throughout the Alle-Kiski Valley and surrounding communities. Our licensed plumbers bring over 40 years of experience diagnosing, cleaning, repairing, and replacing sewer lines for both residential and commercial properties.

Whether it’s a minor blockage or a major underground replacement, we use advanced diagnostic tools and proven techniques to ensure your system runs efficiently and reliably—all without unnecessary digging or downtime.

Comprehensive Sewer & Drain Solutions

Our team combines decades of expertise with modern equipment to solve sewer problems safely and efficiently. We specialize in a wide range of services to keep your property’s plumbing system in top condition:

Sewer & Drain Cleaning

We use specialized tools to clear blockages caused by grease buildup, debris, or tree roots. From drain cleaning to mainline flushing, we restore full flow and prevent future backups. Our process includes descaling cast iron, removing obstructions, and ensuring long-term pipe performance.

Dye Testing

For real estate transactions and municipal compliance, our dye testing services ensure your system meets local regulations. We locate potential leaks or cross-connections and provide documentation approved by local municipalities.

Electronic Sewer Line Locating

Not sure where your sewer line runs? Our team uses electronic locating equipment to map your sewer system with precision. This service is especially valuable before landscaping, renovations, or repairs that could interfere with underground lines.

Camera Inspection

Using high-resolution cameras, we inspect the interior of your sewer and drain lines to identify cracks, clogs, root intrusions, or corrosion. Our sewer camera inspections allow us to pinpoint issues before excavation or lining, saving you both time and money.

Sewer Line Replacement

For severely damaged or collapsed pipes, we offer full sewer line replacement services. We assess the problem with video inspection and develop a cost-effective plan that minimizes disruption to your yard, driveway, or property. Whenever possible, we use trenchless pipe lining methods for a no-dig solution that restores your lines quickly.

Sewer Jetting

Say goodbye to recurring blockages and slow drains. Our hydro jetting service uses high-pressure water to clear grease, mineral deposits, and sludge from pipe walls—leaving your sewer system flowing freely. This is one of the most effective ways to maintain your plumbing and prevent future issues. Learn more about hydro jetting here.

Soil & Vent Stack Replacement

Damaged soil or vent stacks can cause poor drainage, foul odors, and frequent clogs. We replace aging or corroded stacks with durable, modern materials designed to improve wastewater flow and ventilation. Proper venting ensures your system operates safely and efficiently.

Grinder Pump Installation & Service

Homes and businesses with sewer lift systems depend on grinder pumps to move wastewater efficiently. We install and replace grinder pumps throughout the A-K Valley, ensuring smooth performance and reduced risk of backups or blockages.
