WASCON, Incorporated was founded by Gerald and Jerry Cravins in 1979 in Livingston, TN to supply service to water and waste water customers located throughout the United States. Once the business started growing and the need for service locally grew, WASCON focused only on the cities and utilities in Tennessee and Kentucky. From the beginning, Gerald and Jerry stressed putting the customer first as the foundation for the business. As a result of this foundation, WASCON has grown into the standard for water and waste water service companies not only in Tennessee, but nationwide.

As the business evolved and customers and manufacturers started taking note of whom WASCON was and what our capabilities were, manufacturers started approaching WASCON to market their products in Tennessee and Kentucky. The first manufacturer WASCON started marketing in the mid 1980s was Roots blowers. Today, Roots is still being sold and marketed by WASCON, along with several other quality manufacturers.
