Video Industrial Services Available

When municipal sewer mains back up, industrial processing tanks scale over, or commercial facilities face unexpected structural blockages under concrete slabs, resolving the issue without tearing up asphalt or halting production is critical. Video Industrial Services operates from its North Birmingham headquarters to address subsurface pipeline failures and heavy facility maintenance. Drawing on over six decades of operational history as part of the Carylon network, the field team handles high-stakes containment dilemmas, sanitary sewer overflows, and regulatory discharge concerns using trenchless diagnostic and restoration technologies.

Projects often begin with targeted subsurface diagnostics rather than destructive excavation. For municipal collection systems tracking fats, roots, or grease build-up, technicians deploy acoustic pipeline inspection equipment that transmits acoustic tones across pipe air gaps, evaluating blockage severity on a scale of zero to ten in under three minutes without confined-space entry. When structural pipe anomalies require closer inspection, operators send NASSCO PACP-certified closed-circuit digital television (CCTV) cameras—including explosion-proof units for hazardous industrial lines—through lateral runs and mains. The footage maps crack widths, offset joints, and root intrusions, allowing project managers to deploy high-pressure hydro blasting or mechanical root cutters directly to the point of restriction.

For compromised pipelines that would otherwise require deep trenching through parking lots or city thoroughfares, the company implements cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) repairs and spincast cement rehabilitation. Industrial plants facing process equipment fouling utilize their specialized dry ice blast cleaning and high-capacity wet/dry vacuum excavation, stripping scale and sediment while minimizing downstream particulate waste. Because field conditions vary from single-manhole cleanouts to multi-mile storm sewer cleaning initiatives, the operational fleet scales equipment configurations to prevent unnecessary industrial downtime or neighborhood service interruptions.

Operating continuous 24-hour dispatch for urgent utility emergencies and containment overflows, the team balances routine system condition assessments against immediate response demands. For planned pipeline inspections and facility cleaning, facility managers should compile existing utility schematics, ensure unobstructed surface access to all relevant manholes and cleanout valves, and designate clear parking staging areas for heavy vacuum and camera rigs before technicians arrive on site.
