Pipe Turbo uses a special pulsating water technology along with a safe organic cleaning solution (food-grade citric acid) to remove rust, lime, scale, and algae buildup from the inside of water pipes. Like a deep dental cleaning, it clears years of deposits, keeping pipe walls clean and preventing buildups that can lead to costly pinhole leaks or even full-home re-pipes. In the process, it also helps reduce toxins, heavy metals, and bacteria from years of buildup — leaving your water cleaner and fresher for everyday use.
Over time, the inside of your home’s water pipes can collect unwanted buildup, including:
Rust and corrosion – from galvanized and copper pipes, which can discolor water and affect taste.
Algae and mineral deposits – even in newer PEX pipes, slowing water flow and creating unpleasant odors.
Heavy metals and contaminants – such as lead, copper rust, and iron, which can leach into your water supply.
This buildup not only makes water look, smell, and taste unpleasant, but it also puts stress on your plumbing system. Left untreated, it can lead to pinhole leaks, clogged lines, or the need for a costly full-home re-pipe.
Pipe cleaning restores your water pipes, helping ensure cleaner, fresher water at every tap while protecting your home from expensive plumbing issues.
Yes. Pipe cleaning is a proven technology that’s been successfully used in other parts of the world for decades and it’s a smart way to extend the life of plumbing and prevent costly re-pipes.
Here in the U.S., pipes face the same challenges: rust, scale, mineral buildup, and bacteria silently collect inside over time. Left untreated, this can cause discolored water, bad taste, reduced flow, or eventually pinhole leaks.
The Pipe Turbo process uses a safe, food-grade organic solution and pulsating water technology to break down and flush out years of buildup. Most homeowners are surprised at the dark, dirty water and debris that flush out during cleaning — visible proof of what’s been sitting inside their pipes. Once removed, water flows cleaner and fresher, and plumbing is protected from costly damage.
Setup – We connect our state-of-the art pulsating equipment to your home’s main water line.
Eco-Friendly Organic Solution – A food-grade organic citric acid solution is introduced into the system.
Treatment Stage – The solution remains in the pipes, safely breaking down and loosening rust, scale, and buildup that have collected over the years.
Pulsating Flush – Our technology pushes the solution through the pipes with a pulsating action, scrubbing and dislodging deposits, algae, and other buildup.
Debris Removal – The loosened deposits, heavy metals, and bacteria are flushed out through an plumbing fixture exits.
Final Rinse – Fresh water is run through the pipes, leaving them clean, clear, and buildup-free.
Clear water doesn’t always mean clean pipes. Rust, scale, and heavy metals often build up inside pipe walls over the years, even if you can’t see it. Homeowners are usually shocked at the dirty water and debris that flush out during cleaning — visible proof of what’s been sitting inside their pipes.
Yes. Pipe Turbo uses a food-grade organic citric acid solution — the same type of ingredient found in everyday foods and drinks — along with clean, pulsating water technology. The solution is eco-friendly, biodegradable, and completely safe for your plumbing system.
After the treatment, your pipes are thoroughly flushed with fresh water, leaving no residue behind. The only thing you’ll notice is cleaner, fresher water at your taps.
Whole-house water filters and softeners are excellent systems — they treat the water that flows into your home, reducing chlorine, hardness, and certain impurities. Pipe cleaning, on the other hand, treats the pipes themselves by removing years of rust, scale, and mineral buildup from the inside walls.
Think of them as two separate but complementary treatments: one protects the quality of your water, the other protects the plumbing it flows through. In fact, we’ve done many cleanings for homes with filters and softeners, and homeowners are often surprised at how much dirty debris still comes out during the flush.
No — pipe cleaning isn’t a quick patch. It removes years of rust, minerals, and debris from inside your pipes, giving you long-lasting results. For many homes, a professional cleaning can last several years, while older homes with copper or galvanized pipes, or homes with harder water, may benefit from more frequent service.
Ask us about our regular maintenance plans — annual or bi-annual — for ongoing protection and peace of mind.
Over time, buildup inside your pipes doesn’t go away on its own — it only gets worse. This can lead to discolored water, unpleasant taste, pinhole leaks, or even a costly full-home re-pipe. Pipe cleaning is a simple, preventive step that removes buildup before it turns into major plumbing expenses.
The time largely depends on the size of the house and number of bathrooms and plumbing outlets the home has. On average, the entire process takes 2-4 hours from setup to final rinse.
You will. Pipe Turbo provides visible proof — during flushing, you’ll see rust, scale, algae, and dirty water that’s been hiding inside your pipes get pushed out.
And we stand behind it with our No Results, No Charge Guarantee: if nothing comes out, you don’t pay a dime. Either your pipes are cleaned, or you gain peace of mind knowing they’re already clear — at no cost to you.
Replacing pipes (a full-home re-pipe) means tearing into walls, ceilings, and floors to remove and install all-new plumbing — it’s expensive, invasive, and disruptive.
Pipe Turbo is different. Instead of replacing your plumbing, we clean the inside of your existing pipes using a safe organic solution and pulsating water technology. This removes years of rust, scale, and buildup without demolition, keeping your pipes clear and helping prevent the leaks and corrosion that often lead to re-pipes in the first place.
In short: a re-pipe is a costly last resort — Pipe Turbo is a smart, preventive alternative.
The cost depends on the size of your home, the number of bathrooms and fixtures, and any add-on services you may need. Every home is different, but we’ll always provide a clear, upfront quote before starting the work — no surprises, no hidden fees.
