Comprehensive Sewer System Inspection and Assessment
When wastewater or storm sewer systems show signs of infiltration, blockages, or structural failure, the right response is reliable data, not guesswork. EWSG provides PACP-certified sewer inspection and pipeline condition assessment services for municipal, industrial, and private clients across the Southeast, including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.
Schedule Your Sewer Condition Assessment
Our inspections combine advanced technology, field expertise, and standardized reporting to help utilities, engineers, and facility managers prevent system failures, maintain compliance, and plan cost-effective rehabilitation.
Why Sewer Inspection and Condition Assessment Matter
Pipelines, manholes, and laterals deteriorate over time because of I & I, H2S corrosion, shifting soil, and root intrusion. Without scheduled inspections, small defects can become integrity failures, sinkholes, backups, or overflows that lead to costly repairs and environmental risk.
Routine pipeline condition assessments identify:
- Cracks, fractures, or collapsed section
- Blockages caused by debris or sediment buildup
- Leaking joints and infiltration
- Misaligned or offset connections
Detecting these issues early allows EWSG to provide actionable data for maintenance, rehabilitation, and capital planning.
The EWSG Sewer System Inspection Process
- EWSG combines advanced equipment with certified methods to deliver accurate and standardized results.
- Preliminary Assessment
We begin with a review of maps, maintenance logs, and past inspection reports to identify potential issues and develop an efficient inspection plan. - CCTV Sewer Inspection (PACP Certified)
Our robotic crawlers record high-resolution video of pipeline interiors. All observations are coded according to NASSCO PACP standards to ensure consistent, objective defect grading. - Manhole Inspection (MACP Certified)
Each manhole is examined for infiltration, corrosion, structural compromise, or missing components. Results are coded under NASSCO MACP standards for uniform reporting. - Smoke and Dye Testing
Controlled smoke and dye testing identifies cross-connections, illegal ties, and leaks between storm and sanitary systems that may not appear in standard CCTV footage. - Reporting and Asset Management Integration
Each project delivers a detailed report that includes condition grading, GIS-compatible maps, video documentation, and recommended next steps for cleaning, repair, or rehabilitation.
Technology That Delivers Results
EWSG utilizes robotic CCTV crawlers, sonar profiling, and laser scanning to measure pipe ovality, capacity, and alignment. Inspection results are integrated into our GIS-based asset-management platform to help utilities track system performance, support regulatory compliance, and prioritize rehabilitation projects with precision.
Procurement Made Simple: Piggyback Contracts
EWSG offers approved piggyback contracts that allow municipalities and utilities to procure inspection and assessment services without issuing new RFPs. This approach shortens project timelines, ensures compliance with cooperative purchasing regulations, and provides a straightforward path to begin sewer system evaluations immediately.
Storm Sewer and Wastewater System Assessment
In addition to sanitary collection systems, EWSG performs storm water system and drainage asset evaluations. Our team inspects culverts, catch basins, and outfalls to reduce sediment buildup, inflow and infiltration contamination, and erosion. Combined sanitary and storm system reporting gives a complete view of infrastructure condition and performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PACP-certified sewer inspection?
PACP is the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program established by NASSCO to standardize defect coding and ensure consistent condition grading across the industry.
What is inflow and infiltration (I/I)?
I/I refers to stormwater or groundwater entering sanitary systems through cracks, cross-connections, or defective joints. Identifying and correcting these sources reduces treatment costs and environmental discharge risks.
How often should systems be inspected?
Most systems benefit from inspection every one to three years, depending on age, material, and environmental conditions. High-risk areas may require more frequent evaluations.
Does EWSG inspect both storm and sanitary systems?
Yes. Our certified teams provide integrated inspection and reporting for stormwater and sanitary networks throughout the Southeast.
