Operational + Maintenance Issues

• Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG)
• Root Intrusion 
• Inflow & Infiltration (I/I)

• Active Service Laterals
• Defective Point Repairs
• Cross-Bores

CES stands proudly by the motto Any Pipe, Anywhere and is never deterred from an inspection simply because of its location. Whether a sewer pipe is located in a neighborhood, congested intersection or buried deep in the woods, CES will identify it and perform the services required at the highest professional level.

Along with the standard cleaning and inspection units, CES also maintains a fleet of ATVs, off-road vehicles, easement machines, and boats which stay stocked with the necessary cleaning and inspection equipment.

CES is also well equipped to perform assessments on service laterals. CES can thoroughly inspect and clean laterals both from the mainline and the cleanout. These services coupled with GPS data collection, make CES the top choice for mapping an entire system.

Data collected in the field is sent to the CES data management facility, where PACP, LACP and MACP-certified data technicians review all data and make any necessary changes before the final deliverable is submitted to the customer.

Deliverables include a Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP), which encompasses both HD videos and detailed PDF reports with access points, defect coding, etc.

frequently asked questions

Can a CCTV inspection prevent future sewer problems?

Yes! By identifying minor issues before they become major, a CCTV inspection helps prevent costly repairs and emergency backups.

Do I need to prepare for a CCTV inspection?

Cleaning must happen before CCTV can take place. In order for the camera to be able to efficiently move through and see the entire pipe, the line must be clear of any debris. CES field technicians will clean pipes before bringing in CCTV.
