Comprehensive Condition Assessment and Evaluation for Sewer & Drainage Infrastructure. Civica performs all field inspections in-house to ensure consistent quality, accurate data collection, and reliable reporting for our clients.
CIVICA Infrastructure delivers trusted municipal sewer inspection services across Ontario, helping municipalities, conservation authorities, and engineering firms identify defects, assess condition, and reduce Inflow & Infiltration (I/I) before costly failures occur. Our vertically integrated field and consulting model means we perform all inspections in-house, ensuring quality data collection that feeds directly into actionable recommendations. From CCTV sewer inspection to specialized wet weather monitoring, we provide the evidence municipalities need to maintain safe, compliant collection systems.
Unidentified sewer problems in municipal collection systems can trigger serious consequences: sewage back-ups, sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), structural failures, and reduced hydraulic capacity. Regular sewer condition assessment helps municipalities detect both structural and operational defects early, prioritize capital spending, and meet regulatory compliance requirements. CIVICA’s inspection programs are designed to capture accurate, field-verified data that supports infrastructure condition assessment and long-term asset management planning.
We specialize in a comprehensive range of field services tailored to the needs of Ontario municipalities. Every inspection is conducted by trained, NASSCO-certified operators who follow PACP (Pipeline Assessment Certification Program) and MACP (Manhole Assessment Certification Program) standards to ensure consistency, accuracy, and defensible asset ratings.
Our sewer video inspection services use industry-standard CCTV equipment to visually inspect the interior condition of sanitary and storm sewers. PACP-certified operators document cracks, root intrusion, pipe collapse, joint offsets, and other defects, assigning condition codes that supports capital planning decisions. CCTV inspections provide a permanent video record for future comparison and regulatory reporting.
Smoke testing is a simple, effective, and environmentally safe method for detecting sewer defect identification related to surface water inflow. By introducing non-toxic smoke into the sewer system, we pinpoint illegal connections, cross-connections, broken cleanouts, and defective maintenance hole covers. Smoke testing is especially valuable in older neighbourhoods where as-built records may be incomplete or inaccurate.

CIVICA’s sewer inspection services are not just about data collection — we deliver insights that drive decisions. Our process begins with planning and mobilization, proceeds through systematic field data collection using calibrated equipment, and concludes with detailed reporting that includes defect coding, condition ratings, GIS mapping, and prioritized sewer rehabilitation recommendations. Because our field services team works directly with our consulting engineers, clients receive seamless support from initial inspection through to capital project scoping and I/I reduction strategy development.
CIVICA has delivered municipal sewer inspection services for communities across Ontario, supporting infrastructure condition assessment programs that protect public health, reduce operational costs, and extend asset life. Our clients include the City of Thorold, Town of Newmarket, and Township of West Lincoln, among others. Each project reflects our commitment to quality data, clear reporting, and practical recommendations grounded in real-world field evidence.
