American Corrosion Solutions, Inc. is a veteran‑owned corrosion control and pipeline integrity company serving operators across Texas. With more than 20 years of experience in cathodic protection, TRRC compliance, and field operations, we provide reliable, field‑ready solutions backed by detailed reporting and industry‑standard practices. Our mission is simple: protect your assets, reduce corrosion risk, and deliver honest, dependable service every time.

Our team is led by Marine veteran and NACE/AMPP‑certified corrosion technician, bringing more than two decades of hands‑on experience in cathodic protection, pipeline integrity, and regulatory compliance. Every project is handled with the professionalism, discipline, and attention to detail that operators expect from a veteran‑owned company. When you hire us, you work directly with the owner — not a rotating crew.

We believe in doing the job right the first time. Our approach combines field‑proven techniques, practical corrosion assessment methods, and clear, operator‑ready reporting. We focus on practical solutions that meet NACE/AMPP standards and Texas Railroad Commission requirements, ensuring your assets remain protected and compliant. No shortcuts, no guesswork — just honest, reliable corrosion control.

I met Mike Wendel in 2000 while serving as an active-duty Marine stationed in Corpus Christi. Mike Wendel was the mentor who introduced me to this industry, trained me from the beginning, and supported me throughout my career. His guidance, integrity, and high standards shaped the foundation of American Corrosion Solutions. Mike passed on July 22, 2025, but his influence continues in the work we do every day.

American Corrosion Solutions, Inc. provides professional corrosion control, pipeline integrity, and regulatory compliance services for operators across Texas.
