The origins of Carylon stretch all the way back to 1949. That year, National Power Rodding Corporation – the first of the Carylon companies – saw a need for better sewer cleaning equipment. As a result, they developed and patented the world’s first heavy-duty “continuous rod” power rodder, an exceptional piece of machinery that proved to be far superior to anything on the market.

Industrial plants and utility companies quickly saw the benefits of our power-rodding service. They began contracting with us for the cleaning of blast-furnace stoves and rodding of underground utility ducts.

Leading the way in processes and technology

Soon thereafter, Carylon became the first in the industry to research, develop and successfully use closed-circuit television to inspect sewers. By sending a specially designed television camera through the sewer we were able to locate causes of leaks and blockages without any excavation whatsoever. This new method of sewer inspection literally revolutionized the industry and is the basis for the present day maintenance of the world’s sewer infrastructure.

Today, our long heritage of technological advancements, pioneering new processes, and developing specialized equipment is helping municipalities, utilities and industrial companies comply with environmental regulations and meet the growing challenges of environmental infrastructure management.
