Flotech Environmental provides NASSCO MACP Level 1 and Level 2 manhole inspection services for municipalities, general contractors, property managers, and engineering firms throughout Central Florida. Our NASSCO-certified inspection teams deploy CCTV crawlers and manhole cameras to assess structural condition, document defects, and deliver NASSCO-compliant reports across multiple industry-standard platforms. As a fully self-performed underground utility contractor, Flotech inspects, cleans, rehabilitates, and bypass-pumps the same structures we document, reducing coordination costs and eliminating the need to manage separate inspection, cleaning, and rehabilitation vendors.
Manholes are the primary access and inspection points in sanitary sewer and stormwater systems and account for as much as 90% of inflow and infiltration (I&I) in collection networks, with more than 50% of systems still in service installed before 1960. Undetected deterioration can accelerate concrete corrosion, structural collapse, and sinkhole formation, leading to costly emergency repairs that can exceed $250,000 per structure. Routine MACP inspections help control I&I, reduce unnecessary treatment and pumping costs, support capital improvement planning, and maintain compliance with NPDES and FDEP requirements. In Florida’s high groundwater table and wet weather conditions, manhole inspection is a continuous maintenance program rather than a one-time evaluation.
Here are some of the most common questions about our services, response times, and how we support infrastructure projects across Florida.
Florida's high water table, sandy soils, and heavy rainfall make manholes especially vulnerable to infiltration and structural deterioration. Regular manhole inspection in Florida helps municipalities and property managers identify problems early, control I&I, and prevent costly emergency repairs.
Flotech follows NASSCO MACP (Manhole Assessment and Certification Program) standards for manhole condition assessment. Our certified technicians document defects, assign condition grades, and deliver reports that integrate with asset management and GIS platforms.
Manhole inspection services are used by municipalities, utility contractors, engineering firms, property managers, and homeowner associations in Florida that manage sewer or stormwater infrastructure.
Yes. Our manhole inspection reports include condition ratings, photo and video documentation, and defect data compatible with GIS and asset management platforms. Reports support capital improvement planning, NPDES compliance, and regulatory documentation requirements.
Using high-definition CCTV systems, Flotech performs MACP Level 1 and Level 2 manhole inspections that document structural condition, joint integrity, active infiltration, ladder and step deterioration, frame and cover defects, and bench and channel condition. Level 1 inspections are surface-based visual assessments capturing basic structure data, including material, depth, dimensions, and observable defects, for screening surveys and routine condition tracking. Level 2 inspections add full interior CCTV documentation with photo and video evidence, MACP defect coding, and severity scoring, producing the detailed reporting required for rehabilitation scoping and capital planning. Our NASSCO-certified teams follow MACP scoring standards to produce inspection data compatible with WinCan, Granite, POSM, and other industry-standard reporting platforms, with deliverables that integrate directly into GIS and asset management systems.
For manholes with standing water or submerged lower sections, Flotech deploys submersible inspection systems to capture detailed imagery of the wet well, bench, channel, and pipe inverts below the waterline. This method enables full structural assessment without the cost and scheduling impact of bypass pumping and dewatering, while preserving NASSCO MACP scoring requirements for the entire structure.
Flotech documents I&I sources during manhole inspection, including deteriorated joint seals, vertical and circumferential cracks, defective frames and covers, lift hole leakage, pipe-to-manhole connection failures, and bench and channel separation, and quantifies each defect by location, severity, and observed flow rate. I&I assessments give utility owners and engineering firms the data needed to prioritize rehabilitation, reduce treatment plant loading, and recover hydraulic capacity in aging collection systems throughout Florida.
Every inspection is documented with MACP condition codes, severity ratings, georeferenced photo and video evidence, and a written NASSCO-compliant report supporting capital improvement planning, rehabilitation scoping, and NPDES and FDEP compliance. Reports are delivered in WinCan, Granite, POSM, or other utility-specified formats and exported as GIS-ready files for direct integration into municipal asset management platforms.
After manhole rehabilitation, cementitious lining, or chimney sealing, Flotech provides post-rehabilitation inspections to verify rehabilitation quality, confirm defect correction, and document final condition for project close-out and warranty acceptance. Because Flotech self-performs both rehabilitation and post-inspection, owners receive a single chain of accountability rather than coordinating separate inspection and rehab contractors.
Flotech’s inspection services are built on certified expertise, modern equipment, and extensive field experience, ensuring accurate data collection and dependable reporting for critical infrastructure systems.
