Cleaning frequency, inspection standards, and documentation on a municipal system feed directly into compliance reporting, rate setting, and capital planning. This is not a residential program run on larger pipe. It is a different scope, a different equipment class, and a different paper trail.
Municipal cleaning is a program rather than a service call. Segments get prioritized, cleaned on a rotating cycle, documented against your asset records, and assessed for condition while the crew is already mobilized. The output your department needs is not just a clear pipe. It is a defensible record of what was cleaned, what came out, and what the pipe looked like afterward, in a format that goes straight into your existing systems.

Gravity main cleaning
High velocity jetting through gravity collection mains, sized to the diameters and flow conditions in your system rather than scaled up from smaller equipment.
Force main and pressure system work
Pressure systems behave differently from gravity lines and carry different risks during cleaning. Scope gets confirmed against your system specifics before any commitment.
Root and grease control programs
Recurring problem segments are usually known to your crews already. Targeted cleaning on a defined cycle is more cost effective than responding to the same backup every eighteen months.
Cleaning paired with condition assessment
Camera inspection following cleaning, in the same mobilization, gives you condition data on the segments just cleaned instead of a second contractor and a second trip.
Segment identification, debris volumes, cleaning observations, and repair recommendations feed CIP prioritization and rate setting justification.
We structure documentation around your existing recordkeeping and GIS rather than handing your staff a format they have to re enter.
For departments running to NASSCO standards, scopes and documentation can be structured to support those requirements. We are direct about what we do and do not certify.
A maintained system produces fewer surcharge and overflow incidents, which is the outcome that matters most to a public works director.
A sewer & drain camera inspection from Stronghold is not a quick look and a handshake. You get a complete, documented breakdown of your pipe’s condition.
We review your maps, segment priorities, pipe materials, and known problem areas before proposing anything.
A written scope with unit pricing, so your budget planning is predictable and there is no ambiguity to argue about later.
Work in active roadways, near schools, or in high traffic corridors gets coordinated with your traffic management and public notification processes, including off hours where required.
Segments cleaned to scope, with camera assessment following in the same mobilization where the program calls for it.
Organized documentation delivered in the format your department uses, with observations and recommendations flagged for follow up.

High velocity jetting equipment matched to municipal diameters and flow conditions, not residential equipment stretched past its design.
Municipal procurement needs clear scope and predictable unit pricing up front. That is how we bid, and it is why post project disputes do not happen.
Off hours work, traffic coordination, and public notification are part of the job on public infrastructure, not an inconvenience to negotiate afterward.
We confirm equipment suitability before committing to a scope and we do not bid work our equipment cannot execute correctly. Departments remember which contractors do that.
Municipal work is rarely a single purchase order, so this section replaces the pricing block used on the residential pages.
Rotating multi year cleaning cycles
Addressing the full system on a rotating basis is the most effective municipal maintenance approach. We build segment prioritization schedules and annual budgets around it.
Emergency response agreements
Departments that want guaranteed response commitments should establish a service agreement in advance, so mobilization protocols, contacts, and billing terms are already in place before an incident.
Coordination with lining and repair
When assessment turns up defects, municipal pipe lining, spot repair, and pressure pipe repair are all available from the same contractor.

They come with my highest of recommendation. Chad FoussTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great customer service and top notch work! The Stronghold team pays attention to every detail from the beginning to the completion of the job. jodi williamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is the BEST. I went through multiple contractors prior to Stronghold with a very difficult and delicate situation and Caleb and his team made miracles happen that I was previously told were impossible. They worked with the City to facilitate work that had previously been denied - and were approved for said work because of his diligence, great work history & overall amazing performance. I could not be happier with this team and would not have been able to sell my home had he not found a way to make all parties see what needed to be done. He truly took the reins and handled every single aspect that was required and I could not be more grateful. Not only is Caleb an amazing professional, he is a great and kind human. Could not recommend enough! A FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stronghold was professional and easy to work with. The team arrive fixed the repair, explained the process, and gave us a great price. I would highly recommend. Greg MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stronghold Pipe Repair is excellent to work with! Chris ReichertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with Stronghold! Caleb was great to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. Their sewer camera inspection was thorough, clear, and easy to understand, with honest feedback and no pressure for repairs. Fast, reliable, and highly recommended for sewer line inspections and drain scoping. Anthony HeberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we purchased our home we knew we were taking on a damaged sewer line. We received a great recommendation for Stronghold to do the repair. After emailing them they responded quickly and got us an estimate for a cleaning (minor root removal) and partial sleeve on our sewer line. When they came to do the work they were very professional, kept everything clean, and coordinated everything with me. I couldn't be happier! Josh VictorinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend stronghold pipe repair. We called them out to diagnose our sewer which was backing up. They got the sewer flowing. With a camera, they made a video inspection showing us why it had been backing up and gave us options and provided solutions. The crew was very professional and explained everything to us before during and after.
Municipal programs start with a planning conversation, not a price list. We review system maps, segment prioritization, pipe materials, and reporting requirements before proposing scope, so the program fits your maintenance cycle and your budget.
Municipal systems vary widely in diameter, material, and configuration. Contact us with your system specifics and we will confirm equipment suitability before committing to a scope. We do not bid work our equipment cannot execute correctly.
Yes. We structure reporting to fit your existing recordkeeping rather than creating parallel paperwork. Tell us during scoping which platform your department uses and we will confirm how our documentation can support it.
We are available for priority emergency response across the south metro. Departments wanting guaranteed response times should set up a service agreement in advance so mobilization protocols and billing terms are settled before an incident occurs.
Yes, and rotating multi year programs that address the full system are among the most effective approaches to municipal sewer maintenance. We help develop segment prioritization, annual budgets, and reporting frameworks.
Yes, and it is usually the better value. Assessing condition immediately after cleaning gives your department actionable data on the segments just serviced without paying for a second mobilization.
The Twin Cities south metro, including Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Farmington, Rosemount, Prior Lake, Savage, and Eagan.
Municipal programs start with a conversation, not a quote sheet. Tell us about your system, your maintenance priorities, and your reporting requirements, and we will put together a scope that fits what your department actually needs.
