Sanitary Sewer Inspections

NASSCO-certified CCTV inspection and condition assessment services. Industry-standard PACP, MACP, and LACP coding for accurate sewer system evaluation throughout Ohio.

What is NASSCO?

The National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) sets the industry standard for pipeline infrastructure assessment. NASSCO's Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) is the nationally recognized standard for coding sewer defects and conditions, used by municipalities, utilities, and engineering firms across the country to make data-driven infrastructure decisions.

PACP

Pipeline Assessment Certification Program

The gold standard for gravity sewer pipe inspection. Standardized defect coding system for mainline sewers that provides consistent, objective condition data for asset management and rehabilitation planning.

MACP

Manhole Assessment Certification Program

Standardized methodology for manhole condition assessment. Captures structural defects, infiltration, and operational issues using consistent coding that integrates with your overall sewer system data.

LACP

Lateral Assessment Certification Program

Specialized certification for assessing service lateral connections. Identifies defects in the lateral pipeline from the mainline connection point, critical for reducing infiltration and inflow (I&I).

Comprehensive Inspection Capabilities

Our NASSCO-certified technicians deliver accurate, standardized assessments that municipalities and engineers can rely on for capital planning and regulatory compliance.

CCTV Pipe Inspection

State-of-the-art robotic CCTV camera systems for comprehensive sewer evaluation:

  • Mainline sewer inspection (6" to 72"+ diameter)
  • High-resolution pan-and-tilt camera systems
  • Real-time video recording and documentation
  • PACP-coded defect identification and grading
  • GPS-referenced inspection data
  • Digital deliverables compatible with all major GIS and asset management platforms

Condition Assessment

Data-driven infrastructure evaluation for capital planning:

  • Structural and operational defect grading (1-5 scale)
  • Overall pipe rating and prioritization
  • Remaining useful life estimation
  • Rehabilitation method recommendations
  • Risk-based priority ranking
  • Integration with asset management systems

Manhole Inspection

Comprehensive manhole assessment per NASSCO MACP standards:

  • 360-degree manhole scanning
  • Structural integrity assessment
  • Infiltration and inflow (I&I) identification
  • Frame, cover, and chimney evaluation
  • Channel and bench condition coding
  • Photo and video documentation

Lateral Inspection

Service lateral assessment using NASSCO LACP protocols:

  • Lateral launch camera deployment from mainline
  • Connection point evaluation
  • Root intrusion identification
  • Lateral defect coding and grading
  • Property owner notification support
  • I&I source identification and quantification

Pre-Rehabilitation Surveys

Detailed pre-lining and pre-rehabilitation inspections:

  • Pre-cleaning verification inspections
  • Obstruction and debris identification
  • Protruding tap and service connection mapping
  • Pipe deformation and ovality measurement
  • Point repair location identification
  • Post-rehabilitation quality assurance inspections

Reporting & Deliverables

Comprehensive documentation and data management:

  • NASSCO PACP/MACP/LACP compliant reports
  • HD video files with embedded coding data
  • GIS-compatible shapefiles and database exports
  • Executive summary reports with recommendations
  • Capital improvement prioritization schedules
  • Regulatory compliance documentation for CMOM and SSES

The Value of Certified Inspections

Standardized Data

NASSCO certification ensures every inspection uses the same defect coding language. This means your data is consistent, comparable, and defensible -- whether comparing inspections done last year to those done today, or integrating data from multiple inspection crews.

Regulatory Acceptance

PACP is the inspection standard recognized by EPA, state environmental agencies, and consent decree requirements. NASSCO-certified inspections satisfy CMOM (Capacity, Management, Operations, and Maintenance) requirements and SSES (Sewer System Evaluation Survey) programs mandated by regulators.

Asset Management

Certified condition assessment data feeds directly into asset management systems, enabling data-driven capital planning. Prioritize rehabilitation spending based on objective defect grades rather than guesswork, maximizing the return on every infrastructure dollar.

Qualified Technicians

EnviroFlow's inspection technicians maintain current NASSCO certifications with ongoing training. Our team understands not just how to operate cameras, but how to accurately identify, classify, and code every defect to NASSCO standards -- ensuring your data is reliable and actionable.
