Congratulations to Josh Shelton and the Shelton Plumbing team on being featured in the August issue of Cleaner Magazine!

The article takes an honest look at the hard-earned lessons behind the company’s growth - from Josh’s transition from skilled technician to business leader to his focus on delegation, sustainable workloads and investing in his people.

It also highlights how Shelton Plumbing embraced trenchless solutions, including Picote epoxy brush coating, to take on difficult projects more efficiently while improving safety and the customer experience.

His story is a great reminder that meaningful growth is not only measured by revenue, but by the people you develop and the contractors you help along the way.

Well-deserved recognition, Josh!

Congratulations to Palmetto Pipe Lining and owner Colby Nicholson for being featured as the cover story in the June 2026 issue of Cleaner Magazine. At just 21 years old, Colby has built a precision-focused trenchless operation dedicated to protecting some of Charleston's oldest infrastructure.

We're proud that Picote equipment is part of Palmetto Pipe Lining's trenchless toolbox, helping them tackle challenging rehabilitation projects with the precision, efficiency, and quality their customers expect. One featured project involved rehabilitating approximately 200 feet of failing sewer pipe during a tight winter-break window at a college campus - completing the work before students returned and avoiding major disruption to campus operations.

Keep up the great work, Colby and the entire Palmetto Pipe Lining team!

We’re excited to see Josh Shelton featured in this month's Plumber Magazine - and proud to be a small part of his journey.

Josh’s story is what this industry is all about: built on service, strengthened by family, and driven by a commitment to doing things the right way. From hands-on learning alongside his father to building a forward-thinking trenchless business, it’s a testament to what’s possible with the right mindset and the right tools.

At Picote, we’re honored to support contractors like Josh who are pushing the industry forward, investing in their teams, and delivering better solutions for their customers every day.

👏 Congrats, Josh - well deserved!

Nice to see Dwayne Mitchell at Premier Drain and Sewer Cleaning featured in the Feb. issue of Dig Different Magazine. Not sure how he has the energy to work full time for the Memphis Fire Department and also be successful in the Trenchless Rehab world - but hats off to his work ethic and amazing success! Great to hear that his Picote Mini Miller, Grabbers, and the Picote Lining Cannon are serving him and his team well!

Shout out to Rod Tarbox and Mt. Washington Sewer & Drain Cleaning in New Hampshire for their editorial article in the Feb issue of Cleaner Magazine about his positive approach to service. We especially loved his quote that his favorite tool is his Picote Mini Miller!
