Pipeline Video Inspections

Pipe inspections pose unique challenges because the internal sewer system is often buried underneath reinforced concrete production floors topped with active production equipment. That's where CME comes in to simplify the process with our pipe inspection services televised to our team to put the pipe on display without having to dig up the production floor.

Our CCTV pipe inspection procedure involves inserting a camera with state-of-the-art video capabilities into the affected pipe through a pre-existing access point. The camera, fitted with LED lighting, is attached to a flexible cable that guides it through the length of the pipe, where it can pan and tilt for a full picture of the problem areas.

Our highly trained technicians monitor the video screen for cracks, leaks, misaligned pipe joints, corrosion and any other problems impacting the pipe's functionality. Discovering these issues early on is critical. Ignoring the problem causes much worse damage to the pipe and leads to much more disruptive and costly restoration fees. Our pipeline video inspections pinpoint the root cause of the problem so our team can quickly and cost-effectively decide the optimal trenchless pipeline rehabilitation solution for your facility or municipality.

In addition to our CCTV pipe inspection capabilities, the CME team is also certified to conduct National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Level 2 digital, 3D manhole inspections. This advanced technology is able to detect deficiencies as small as 1mm in size on the interior surface of the manhole.

In the capable hands of our Manhole Assessment Certification Program (MACP) trained technicians, we use this technology to expertly analyze each scan and compile a report listing identified defects by type and severity. We also highlight the cost for any recommended manhole repairs or structural rehabilitation needed.

Pipeline Inspection and Proactive Evaluation (P.I.P.E.) Program

CME is proud to work with municipalities throughout the Midwest as part of our Pipeline Inspection and Proactive Evaluation (P.I.P.E.) program. Created to provide sewer cleaning, pipeline inspection and other maintenance services at fixed rates to municipalities over a multi-year period, the P.I.P.E. program is a budget-friendly, convenient storm and sanitary sewer management plan.

Through our routine CCTV pipe inspections, we can clearly detect any maintenance or repair needs or discover potential problems that could destroy the integrity of the pipe over time. Our technicians operate the camera on site and televise the video footage in real time to showcase the inside of the pipeline.

Because we are so dedicated to what we do, our P.I.P.E. program has earned Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) certification status through the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO). We perform our NASSCO pipe inspections with top quality video technology and highly trained technicians who get the job done every time.

With our P.I.P.E. storm and sanitary sewer maintenance program, municipalities don't have to wait until it's too late to save your sewer system. We will identify any issues before they are even on your radar.

Process Pipe Cleaning Learn More

Process Piping Cleaning for Food Production Facilities

Process pipes are a vital element of the overall production process. Any process pipe failure will lead to a production shutdown. With so much exposure and use, it's common for pipes in food production facilities to back up frequently. Our experts perform process pipeline cleaning using high-pressure hydroblasting to keep operations running smoothly with minimal downtime.

The moment you notice diminished process pipe functionality, such as slow draining floor drains or ponding, it's essential to take proactive steps to return the pipeline to its full capabilities. Our team blasts problem areas with a powerful water stream to clear blockages in no time. We work to restore pipeline flow with limited interruption to your workflow.

Sanitary and Storm Sewer Cleaning Learn More

Hydro Jetting Services for Sewer Cleaning

Traditional municipal sewer and industrial pipe cleaning methods involve snaking, pouring harsh chemicals down pipes, or even digging a trench to clear debris or replace the pipe. Our team at CME consists of skilled industry professionals who perform trenchless sanitary sewer and storm sewer cleaning services to eliminate much of the hassle associated with these traditional techniques.

For our hydro jet sewer cleaning services we use a high-powered stream of water to blast corrosion and other blockages within the pipe, causing the materials to disintegrate and flushing trapped debris down the pipe. Hydro jetting is the most effective method for clearing debris, tree roots, and other stubborn build-ups in sanitary and storm sewer pipes safely, efficiently and with little damage done to the surrounding area.

Our technicians utilize an existing access point or place one in a discreet location, leaving the surrounding area intact. The small work area typically has very little impact on your ability to continue normal operations. Only water is used during the procedure, so there's no risk of contaminating the ground with harsh chemicals, and employees stay safe in the process.

Whereas traditional cleaning methods fail to fully obliterate the obstruction, hydro jetting effectively removes blockages to restore full function to the pipe. Whether you want to proactively protect your sewer or process pipes from potential clogs or need expert help getting rid of a tricky blockage, CME is ready to assist municipal customers with sanitary and storm sewer cleaning services and perform industrial sewer cleaning for facilities.

Sewer Tree Root Removal Learn More

Root Removal from Sewer Lines

CME can solve your root intrusion sewer line issues with a full root removal. Left to their own devices, unruly roots continue to grow deeper into the ground, potentially pushing through pipe walls to cause clogs, blockages or overflows.

As a dedicated pipeline maintenance company, we routinely remove roots from sewer lines as part of our industrial pipe services. Using a hydraulic root cutter, we get rid of intrusive tree roots and repair any consequential cracks or leaks in the pipes. To get started removing tree roots from the sewer line, give us a call.
