About

When you choose Visu-Sewer for your trenchless needs you get more than a wide selection of services. You also get over 34 years of proven success and reliable service. What started as a small, family-owned business has grown to become widely recognized as one of the oldest and largest sewer inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation companies in the United States.

Founded in 1975 by Ernest Alexander, Visu-Sewer was started with a core group of employees dedicated to providing the highest quality sewer inspection and maintenance services in the industry. During the first few years, the company focused primarily on sewer cleaning and inspection work. During these formative years techniques such as hydro-jet flushing and CCTV Inspection were developed. Visu-Sewer was instrumental in the refinement of these techniques which have been adopted by many others within the trenchless industry.

In the 1980’s, Visu-Sewer’s scope of work spread to rehabilitation services such as Chemical Grouting, Sliplining, Manhole Lining and Fold and Formed Lining. Our Minneapolis/St. Paul office was opened in 1988 and during this time we also opened satellite offices to handle large scale projects in Dayton, Ohio and Houston, Texas.

Other significant milestones in Visu-Sewer’s history include the introduction of National Liner CIPP in 1994, the promotion of Keith Alexander to President in 2001 and the acquisition of Internal Pipe Inspection (Chicago, Illinois) in 2002. We also introduced a CIPP lateral lining product to the marketplace in late 2007 and have recently opened yet another branch office in Mason City, Iowa.

Visu-Sewer was a founding member of NASSCO, the National Association of Sewer Service Companies and is honored to be the only company with two past Presidents of this fine organization: Ernest Alexander (1985) and Keith Alexander (2004). Additionally, we are currently represented on the NASSCO Board of Directors by our Vice President of Sales, John Nelson, Jr. We at Visu-Sewer share NASSCO’s important Mission: To set industry standards for the rehabilitation of underground pipelines, and to assure the continued acceptance and growth of trenchless technologies.
