Where to start

Find out what is causing your recurring sewer problems.

Repeated cleaning, wet-weather backups, and damaged pipe call for different work. We investigate your trouble locations and bring the crews needed to address what we find.

We investigate the sewer that keeps needing cleaning.

Our cameras show visible roots, deposits, protruding connections, and damage at your recurring trouble locations. We clean removable buildup, cut suitable obstructions, and install repairs where the inspected defect calls for them.

Review sewer televising services.

We investigate unwanted wet-weather sewer flow.

Our crews use smoke testing, dye testing, and back smoking to trace suspected water-entry paths. Temporary flow monitoring can help identify which parts of your collection system need closer investigation.

Review I&I investigation services.

We repair damaged mains and lateral connections.

Our crews can repair an isolated defect, seal a leaking main-to-lateral connection with TYGERPatch, or line a longer damaged run. We review your inspection findings and pipe condition to select the repair method.

Inspection preparation

Our cleaning crew removes deposits so our PACP-certified inspectors can see the pipe walls with IBAK cameras. We record roots, damage, and remaining obstructions to identify where cutting or repair is needed.

Case studies

Grinnell, IowaTrenchless point repair /

Our point repair addressed groundwater entering Grinnell's sewer.

We located a groundwater entry path in the City's sanitary sewer and repaired the defect from inside the existing pipe. Grinnell recorded lower lift-station flow in the days after the work.

63.7%

Lower average daily effluent

Observed over 6 days before and 3 days after repair. Other conditions can also affect flow.

The CIT Method

We inspect, clean, and rehabilitate your sewer system.

Our annual program combines sewer cleaning, CCTV inspection, and a review of the defects found. We jet and televise a planned portion of your collection system each year. Your staff can use the findings to identify repair locations and plan future maintenance spending.

Review our maintenance program approach.

  1. Evaluate

    We inspect your sewer mains and manholes for visible defects and investigate suspected sources of unwanted flow.

  2. Maintain

    We remove deposits and suitable obstructions from your sewer mains with cleaning, jetting, and robotic cutting.

  3. Rehabilitate

    We perform point repairs, connection repairs, and lining for suitable defects within your sewer assets.

  4. Sustain

    We review your annual inspection findings with your staff so identified repair needs can be considered in your maintenance plan and budget.

Rehabilitation is scoped and authorized separately from annual cleaning and inspection.

Who We Work With
