Proud NASSCO Members: What It Means for Your Pipe Inspections

When you hire a pipe inspection contractor, you’re trusting them with the hidden infrastructure your home, business, or municipality depends on. So how do you know you’re working with a company that holds itself to the highest standards in the industry?

One clear signal: NASSCO membership. At 360 Pipes, we’re proud members of the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO)—and here’s why that matters to you.

🏅 What Is NASSCO?

NASSCO is the leading authority in the underground infrastructure assessment, rehabilitation, and maintenance industry. For decades, the organization has set the standards that engineers, municipalities, and inspection companies across North America rely on.

NASSCO is best known for developing the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP), along with its companion programs for laterals (LACP) and manholes (MACP). These standards create a consistent, defect-coding language so that everyone—from the field technician to the city engineer—is reading the same data the same way.

🤝 Membership vs. Certification: What’s the Difference?

It’s an important distinction. Certification means our technicians have completed NASSCO’s PACP, LACP, and MACP training and passed the required exams to code pipe defects to national standards.

Membership means 360 Pipes is an active participant in the broader NASSCO community—staying current on evolving standards, best practices, and emerging technology in the trenchless and inspection industry. Together, certification and membership show a full commitment to doing the job right.

✅ Why Our NASSCO Membership Benefits You
