Long before "environment" became a household word, Carylon companies were busy providing vital environmental maintenance services to refineries, petrochemical plants, steel mills and more than half of the Fortune 500 companies throughout the United States, as well as to the majority of the country's municipalities and utilities.
In 1949, National Power Rodding Corp. (the first of the Carylon companies) saw a need for better sewer cleaning equipment than was available at the time. As 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 for years to come.
With its network of companies located throughout the U.S.A., the Carylon Corporation has grown to become the largest and most experienced industrial and municipal specialized maintenance contractor in the country. More than 50 years later, we are still operating under the same principles as when we first opened our doors. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible service obtainable anywhere, and approach each and every job with the same "enthusiasm and pride" as if it was our first.
With the passing of the Water Pollution Control Act (PL 92-500) of 1972, our companies were again at the right place, at the right time. Our years of experience on-the-job and in designing special equipment proved to be invaluable. We knew what to do, how to do it, and had the physical resources already in place to insure the work would be performed correctly, economically and on time.
